Back to basics.

Starting phase 1 on Monday.

Gotta do it.

Long weekend. Once again, tough to stay on track while on someone else's schedule.

Oh, and while I am bleeding like roadkill. That's always a challenge, too.

Sunday, someone actually said to me that I needed to 'buy smaller jeans' - so, that made me smile, briefly - then I realized no, I can't - because I am in between sizes right now, and I refuse to spend money on new clothes while I am still losing. So, for now I'll continue to have to hike up my pants constantly, even with a belt - and deal with the saggy ass look.

Could be worse, right? ;)

Down 25.

I hate this whole process. I really do.

Looking back at my progress, I knew it was going to be long term to get to where I wanted to...that was never a question.

Here we are - 3 1/2 months into the journey, and I have FINALLY hit the 25 pound mark.

Granted - I was at 20 right before Christmas...then, went thru Christmas, New Years, got really sick for 2 weeks, oh - and then birthday month started.

Just goes to show there is never a good time. Ever.

I have derailed.

14 days since my last post.

Disgusting.

Frankly, I've stayed away because I haven't had much good to say the last few weeks. It has been cold and snowy, most days I don't even leave the house because I don't want to deal with driving in that shit. Which means not getting to the gym as often. Oh, and let's throw birthday cake in there.

Amazingly, I've managed to lose a few more pounds, and I am back to where I was a month ago when I got sick.

Am I where I thought I would be at this point, when I started November 1? Clearly not. But, I am trying. Every day. Some days are more of a struggle than others.

I am convinced regardless of how much weight I lose, I will always struggle.

Slowly getting back on track...here's hoping I stay there.
