The holidays made it difficult to stay on track for me. Going back to work in the fall also made it difficult. I was tired when I got home and wanted to spend my time playing with Mya rather than working out and cooking healthy dishes. This caused weight gain. I have now come to realize that this will be something I will have to make time for each day... I'm doing this to set a good example for Mya, so taking the time to workout and cook healthy things are going to be so worth it.
I have found that not tracking what I eat is the ultimate problem. When I'm losing weight, I count my WW points for everything that I put in my mouth. When I don't do that, I gain weight. I'm back to tracking everything, and I'm back to working out... that should lead to good results.
I have now ran in two half-marathons. The first was in October and the second one was the Houston Aramco Half-Marathon just this month. What a rewarding experience!! I'm now addicted to the half! I have another one planned for March. My goal is to knock about 30 minutes off of my finish time. If I do my training as I should, this will definitely be an attainable goal.
Why do I bother being honest about my weight gain? Because I know that there are people out there that are inspired when they see the amount of weight that I have lost, but I think it is necessary for them to realize that I am human, and it is a constant struggle. It helps prove the point that if I can do this, anyone can. It does feel great to be back on track!!
