It is amazing what the stomach flu can do to the #'s on the scale! If only they would stay that way when you are better!!

So yea!! I am on the lowest step of my diet plan which I haven't been for about a year. I will switch to my maintenance program in 4 more lbs. Maintenance....no more trying to lose weight I hope I can get there again.

So I am off to go running again this morning and I feel so good! I wished I could just always keep in my head how good I always feel and how much more energy I have when I am fueling my body with foods it needs and exercising!

I have decided what keeps me on track is writing down what I eat. I have noticed that if I don't eat all my fruits and veggies I reach for crap!

So far so good this month!.it is so much easier with a routine now that the kids are back in school!! I am planning on hopefully losing about 2 lbs a week and if I can I will b at my goal!! Wahoo

So ya....this month did not go at all as I had planned. My little sister got married and I seriously ate like 10 mini cheesecakes one day!!! Uuuggghhh. I ended up gaining several pounds that week.....but I am pleased to say I ended the month much better. The kids are back in school which is awesome for my routine. I just hope I can keep it up the last two months of this competition and so forth.

Not a good month. The end.
