A Different Approach

I have recently been feeling the need for some extra support and accountability in terms of my weight loss efforts. With my increasing responsibilities at work and at home, it has become so easy to forsake exercising and eating right on busy, stressful days. This has resulted in some significant weight gain over the past few months. I will not even get into how unhappy I am about that. Instead, I will focus on the fact that what is done is done and all I can do is move forward on a better path.
I contemplated a few different options but decided on 1) starting back with Diet-to-Go, 2) reviving my blog and 3) joining a gym and working with a personal trainer. I started the meal plan and joined the gym last week. Initially, everything was moving along fine. But, yesterday, my emotions and my body rebelled like nothing I had ever experienced. So, I gave in. I had the chicken ranch pizza that I was craving and I did not bother to feel guilty about it. I simply made up in my mind that I would get back on track today.
With that in mind, I am on my weigh to the gym for 45-60 minutes of cardio and a group exercise class. I will let you know how that goes!

I'm Back!

I am so ashamed at how long it has been since my last post. But as you may have guessed, life was more than busy. I completed my Ph.D., the holidays came and went, and yet another semester at work is now underway. While life has been busy, it has been good! I am so happy and I have a peace that I haven't experienced in a very long time. I am experiencing a new level of clarity and I have taken on some new challenges on my journey to shed the weight. I am so excited about all that is going on in my life and I will be sharing the details with you in the posts to come. I am back on my weigh and I hope that you will reconvene the journey with me!
