Fitspiration

Since my fitness plans got thrown off track, I'm finding it hard to get motivated to get back into it.  Well, I have been good about working out - the real problem is trying to get back to eating healthy.  I keep finding reasons to allow myself to eat badly and why I can't eat healthy today.

Today that stops.  Today I'm going to get back on my health kick and start getting back to losing weight.  I know I can do it.  Sure it's hard, but the reward is so worth it!!

Life Happens

Sometimes the best laid plans get kinks thrown into them.  Just as I was starting to get into this weight loss kick and get into a routine, I got laid off from work.  It actually happened the night after my last post, which is why I never posted my before pictures and haven't posted in a while.  I am a stress eater, so you can imagine that it did wonders for my diet.  In addition to the stress, I was at home a lot more which made food a lot more accessible.  All in all, being laid off set me back in my plans BIG TIME.  And then throw Thanksgiving (and even more food) into the mix....

I was really scared that I wasn't going to be able to find a job without having to move, but I was really lucky and found a new job quickly (and locally) thanks to one of my ex-coworkers.  I can't thank him enough.  Unfortunately now I have the stress of starting a new job, but I think I'm finally ready to get back into action and start back to eating better.  The good thing is that I never stopped working out, so I can at least feel good about that.

This weekend I'm going to get Jason to help me do before pictures and get all my measurements to get a starting point.  And then from that point forward - it's nothing but healthy for me!!  And I think I need to work on how to cope with stress without resorting to food.  Any suggestions?
