Paving a new path - Distracted by the roadside squirrel

Project start: April 11, 2013
Weight at start of project: 210 lbs
Goal weight 160lbs.
Current weight: 204lbs.
 
 It's only a couple of months in, and I'll admit it, I've already fallen off the wagon. With the move, unpacking, gardening, deadline knitting, socials commitments, a hectic month at work... I just haven't been as focused on my goal as I should be.

Actually - that probably should have been my goal - to stay focused on my goals!

But anyway, I haven't stuck with my eating plan. I haven't been eating as bad as I could, but I could definitely be doing better.  I really need to commit to making lunch instead of buying.

And I haven't exercised - at all. Okay - my coworker and I went for a walk once. One day out of twenty four this month... that's just sad.

Now  I did still mange to lose three pounds, but I'm a long way from breaking my bad habits.

But - tomorrow is a brand new month - a fresh start! Right? Right.

My diet this month has been awful as well, exercise has been happening due to me needing to do DIY and moving furniture around, plus a 40 minute walk this week during our first snow of the winter. I had lost weight, but have gone back up again, trying to stop the sugar again, but it's hard to do when the stress levels are up.

Oh yes, pack a lunch and some healthy snacks! You can do it. Summer is the perfect time to get outside to walk, bike, garden and what have you!

Every minute is a fresh start moment. Three pounds down is GREAT. Just remember ... it *could* have been three pounds ON!

Yup, new month, new start, with a focus on the good habits you want to keep. The sign is hilarious, by the way!!

Yesterday is over and done , try and stay positive , you did lose three pounds and that IS a start . If you focus too much on the negative it can be self defeating . Take it from someone who knows .
