Although I do have happy things to post and will do so this week....I need to get something off my chest. I have been focused on running a a 5k and not getting swallowed alive by this school year. I have used the stress and emotions of this school year and excuse to eat poorly. Nothing horrific just not the way I need to in order to loose weight. So here it is the truth
I haven't been trying and as a result I have gained back all that hard fought weight loss from Mamavation. It is so depressing to admit that....but I need to. By saying it outloud (or online) it helps me accept responsibility for what I have done (or not done).
I am not entirely adrift. I signed up for a beachbody challenge and got some kick ass new videos that I have been doing and as of this week I am back on track with my tracking my food and working out. Its hard, and it sucks, but I am doing it. I also joined a challenge with my Mamavation Girl Melissa over at My Two Miracles and that is helping too.
As we know weight loss and getting healthy takes a lot of time, effort, and mental energy-something that I have been lacking. I just realized this weekend while huffing my ass in a 5k....if I can do that I can get over this funk I have been in about work and deal. So get ready bloggy friends there will be venting on here. I find that I have been keeping a lot inside and not discussing in fear of sounding negative, but then I realized something.....hello this is my blog! I started this as my place. I also realized that the reason I am so stagnant is because I am do busy feeling crappy instead of processing and moving on.
So there it is-the truth. It may be ugly but it is needed!

It happens. Weight loss is a journey. I am so proud of you, and your hard work. I know that you'll reach your goals xoxo
Don't be so hard on yourself, it happens! It's a lifestyle and a journey...plus hard work! Keep it up!
You've said it, so it's out there. You'll get back on track, I know it!
Just wanted to encourage you - you can do it! I've fallen off and gained back lost pounds more than once. What matters is that you keep going. So brave of you to share this.
Just want to say it's inspirational that you ran a 5k. I can't even run up a flight of stairs! Hang in there with the rest of the weight loss- it's many little 5ks, that add up to a marathon!
Way to go for having to guts to admit it AND for already having a plan to get back on track. Weight loss is a journey and sometimes you get sidetracked, good luck with your new goal!
