Ok friends, it's been awhile since I have blogged...and I'm sad and ashamed to say that I have not followed my diet and exercise plan steadily since St. Patrick's Day. I am having a tough time figuring out how to fit my exercise plan into my new schedule because I have since added 3 new daycare kids...one who is younger than my youngest which makes it double hard to find the time and opportunity. It's not a good excuse I know and I needed to make my diet and exercise a priority and made sure it got done anyways, but I didn't, so here I am having to start again. Luckily and by some sort of miracle I only gained 12 pounds back! I'm not happy about that but considering that it's been almost 2 months it's not bad at all and could have been much worse and I think I can lose that in a month. Another stroke of luck has hit also because the weather is beautiful and I happen to have found a double stroller at a yard sale for nice and cheap.
I am still fitting in my new jeans and I am still proud of myself for how far I have come, but I didn't stick to it and that is not anything to be proud of. And my dear blog friends I started this blog so that I could have people holding me accountable during my weight loss journey...nobody even chewed me out when I quit blogging! That's what I want from you guys so next time chew my ass so that I have other people riding me to keep going. :) Here we go again friends, moving forward because even though I screwed up, doesn't mean I can't try again and succeed, it doesn't mean all the hope is lost. I'm still a lot smaller than I was 3 years ago...I'm still smaller than I was in January this year, and I still have my shot to make this happen. I'm a work in progress..still growing and changing, still messing up, forgiving myself and moving on. The thing I have going for me is that I still haven't given up, I still haven't decided it's not worth it, I still haven't decided it's not worth it, because I know it is. I don't give up easy and I'm going to keep fighting...so start this journey again after the small "intermission" and see where it takes us! It's not going to be fast or easy...but I am going to succeed someday!
