Back By Popular Demand

By "popular demand" I mean the encouragement of Chris :)  Sooooooooooo, did I start 2014 saying "That IS me", nope.  Did I loose weight, nope - in fact I'm heavier now than at this time last year.  Did I stop using excuses, nope.  Did I stick with my "lifestyle change, not a diet" attitude, nope.  Does that mean that I've given up, NOPE.

So many things have happened since my last blog.  The most exciting thing is that Chris and I bought a house!  I am so in love with it and it's finally starting to feel like home.  We hosted 40 people on Christmas Eve and another 20 people a few days later.  It was the best Christmas ever!  Chris's blood pressure has finally stabilized which I am SO thankful for.  It was the main driver behind us getting the house.

I had a treadmill in my condo that we moved into the house.  There was a lot of debate as to where it should go.  I wanted to hide it away in a bedroom or the basement because it didn't "look nice" in certain areas, Chris's thought was to put it in the area that we would be most likely to use it.  It took me awhile to come around to the idea, but he's right.  So the treadmill sits in our family room.  I've started using it, I try to walk an hour every night.  I'm not always successful, or sometimes it will be a different activity (like Zumba on the Wii or going to the gym) but as Chris just pointed out I have worked out 13 of the past 16 days.

I've started tracking my food again, I've been doing so everyday since 1/6.  I'm not going to lie and say that I haven't gotten crabby or that this is easy, it sucks at times, but I can't keep letting myself spiral out of control.  So here I am.............again.  At least I can say that I am trying!
