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?
