The Return of Biggest Loser and Me

There are no excuses here, 100% honesty, I've fallen off the wagon.  I've been lazy, stressed out, lazy, busy, lazy, lazy, lazy.  I was on such a good kick with the 5K and as soon as that was over it was downhill from there.  Eating poorly, not working out, making excuses, etc.  I decided I wasn't going to "wait until Monday" again and just do it.  Two weeks ago Chris and I did a 5K with my aunt, sister-in-law and my nephews, that's kind of where it started.  It felt good to be outside, walking around, getting a bit of exercise.  Then over the weekend one of my friends asked me to go workout with her.  I didn't want to, but I went anyway and was so glad I did.  On Tuesday I worked from home and decided to start the 5K training over from the beginning.  Chris and I also bought FitBit's.  They track the amount of steps we've taken in a day, how many calories we've burned, it integrates with My Fitness Pal for calorie intake and also shows us how we slept at night.  So that encouraged me to start tracking my food again.  I haven't stepped on the scale yet, I don't want to because I know how my clothes fit and I'm not ready for that yet, but I am ready to tackle this again.

It was a pleasant coincidence that The Biggest Loser started again last night.  I'm excited to see the transformations and all of the hard work that is put in.  I always feel so motivated by the show.  This years theme is "2nd chances".  I feel like I'm on my 1 millionth chance (or try I guess) but I haven't given up yet and I don't plan to.
