So i haven't blogged in a while. It was a busy holiday season. Its been a busy January. But i am back on track and i better start losing weight again! So currently i am down 75 lbs. I've held steady for the past couple months, maybe fluctuated a couple pounds here and there but for the most part i've held my own! Which i am very proud of. I have to say, sometimes the hardest part is maintaining.
After my mom had her accident and i found out i had a huge thyroid nodule, stress took over and then i felt i was almost working too hard to lose weight that i was making it worse instead of better. So i just decided to just relax and not worry about it. I didn't want to get out of control, so i didn't go crazy, but i still let myself have things i wanted.
The holidays were good! I was thankful to have my parents here for Thanksgiving. I got to go to Florida for my birthday and Christmas, since they are so close together! Enjoyed just spending time with my parents. I was happy to come home to my babies though after 8 days away from them. New Years eve i spent with some friends. The first NYE in a few years that i've stayed up for! haha!
My new years resolutions were lengthy. I feel i have more goals now and ambition! My biggest one is to lose the rest of this weight. I have about 55 more lbs to go. I have started eating more protein again, i'm working on getting my supplements in regularly again. I had worked out a few times the first couple weeks of January but starting last monday i have truly been consistent! I'm loving it too! I've been running/walking on my treadmill and taking Zumba classes! I feel so good afterwards and during the day that its truly just addicting! I have a feeling i'm toning and gaining muscle, because the scale doesn't seem to want to budge. My hope is, in a few weeks of consistency i'll just drop a few lbs and then it will start moving. I think my body is just in shock that i'm being consistent and gaining muscle.
I've measured myself, so I will be monitoring my progress that way too. This is going to be a great year, i just feel it! I'm changing habits, silly things, but i want to be a better person, with better habits. I hope with my increased confidence i can start dating and just enjoy life again! Until then, i have great friends, great family and my wonderful puppies to keep my company!
