hello
Well I bet you were wondering when my next update would be.
Me too frankly.
Mostly because I feel like the last two month life has been, well….
Hectic.
Between traveling, school starting, new schedules, life, work, did I say work? I just haven’t committed myself to working out 4 times a week like I had been. I’m ashamed to say I’ve been averaging 2-3 times a week and then sliding in trips to the doughnut shop in between. Yikes! Nothing like falling off the food wagon right?
So between falling off the food wagon, eating out a bunch and not monitoring what I’m eating, combined with not working out as frequently, I feel like I haven’t had much to share in the way of successes. I mean, the whole goal with starting this journey was to inspire others. If I can do you, you can do it right? Well, I feel as though my journey has lacked some inspiration lately. It’s funny how when you feel like you’re at your low points, how not sharing makes you feel as though you’ve not fallen off the wagon. It’s almost as if I thought I could pretend that I was still rocking and rolling, just not sharing as many pictures of it.
Been there?
Have you sat where I’m sitting?
I sure hope so, because I feel so vulnerable writing this.
To top it off, this week was going to be the week that I jumped back on my feet. Then I woke up sick.
Head cold. BAM!
I worked out today anyway. I’m determine to sweat it out of me and guzzle water the rest of the day like it’s going out of style. If I give myself one more inch, I just might take the mile…. if you know what I mean.
I will blame that on Cristina.
Since that’s my only claim to fame in this months update, I’m rolling with it. I’m sure y’all will understand. After all, you’ve fallen off the wagon too, right?
Any cheers you remember from high school to keep me motivated? I can use all the help I can get.

I think it’s more about making lifestyle changes, which you’re doing. So you haven’t done a ton lately, you’re still doing it! I have been running & working out 4 times a week & yesterday two old men passed me! LOL But I still lapped everyone on the couch. Look at the good, you’re still doing it! And you’re getting back out there! Keep it up!

This journey is just that… a journey. Most journey’s don’t occur in a straight line. The path’s wind and we often get lost. My journey of losing 60+ lbs has been that way over the last 3+ years. It ebbs and flows like everything in life. Finding balance and focus is important. While you are doing this to inspire others you also have to do it for yourself! Enjoy the journey pretty momma!

I just got back on the wagon, so I haven’t had time to fall off again…yet, but I will. I know myself and the long gloomy days of winter are my fall off the wagon and bake a pan of brownies time.
You are going in the right direction and that is awesome!

Yes, we all fall off. I was sick last week and didn’t work out at all. So you’re way more dedicated working out while not feeling well 😉 and YAY for dresses being loser than the last time. I’m telling you trying on clothing that I haven’t worn in almost 3 years and having it fit is so awesome! Keeps me motivated, and having to buy new clothing because none of it fits is a good problem, and expensive one but good!

I’m back on the bandwagon this week, too!

Love it. I’ve made myself get back on the workout wagon too!

As Natalia and other have said above, your making an effort and that is what matters the most 🙂 we will all go through our “slumps” but at least your not giving up completely.
I just started blogging about my fitness journey too! looking for fellow blogger to follow for my own motivation. check out my page here http://fitjournal4me.blogspot.com.au/
