Sunday is the beginning of the week..?

So tomorrow is Sunday... & in leu of that I have decided it is the day I will start my re-dedication to the journey. I don't have all that much as far as healthy groceries go in my house, so as far as eating healthy meals that's probably not going to start till I have some money but I can begin tracking my calories again either way. I am also going to start upping my water intake. Lately I have had hardly any water from day to day and I KNOW that more water alone can make me feel so much healthier and ready to go. I have church in the am, and then I'm taking my kids on a little family fun trip before work at 5.. so what I'd really like to do is wake up at like 6am to go to the gym before my kids wake up. I'm going to set my alarm and see how my morning goes. My goal is start making the gym my first thing in the morning priority to get my day going, I'm not a morning person in the least but I have high hopes for this :)

I have gotten so much more self confidence on this journey that I could have expected with still having like 100+ lbs to loose... and I'm excited to keep going & getting better confidence in myself and in my life!! (:

P.s. Monday will be my weigh in day, I hope the scale goes easy on me cus lord knows it's been a while and I haven't really been focusing on my goals..

& the great return!

So I know I have been slacking terribly.. & since I have to head to work I don't have time for a full run down of things but let me give you the cliff notes version.

I got a new boyfriend, my last one was long distance & that may or may not have had something to do with my total lack of self esteem because of my weight.. I'm gonna lean towards more that it did. I hated even being in public let alone trying to meet someone at the weight I was, and even though I still have more to lose the confidence that I've gotten from losing the weight I did has just exuded from me. His name is Ej & we've been dating for almost 2 months now. That, is a big part as to why I had disappeared from blogger world... I checked out on my whole journey for a short while simply basking in the glow of a new relationship :) & even though this is highly personal and I am sure I will be judged by at least one person.. we had an accident that lead me to be concerned about a pregnancy already, so the last month I have used that as an excuse to not go to the gym. ( to be honest I know nothing about how you can or can't work out if you're pregnant so I just didn't worry about it at all for fear of hurting myself or possibly a child?) Anyways... I am all set to get back into full workout mode, full goals & def. back to healthy eating habits. I have more weight that needs to be lost!!

I haven't weight myself in almost a month & I just KNOW I have packed on a few more of the lbs... so with the winter coming.. & it being one of those times that many people gain weight, I feel I need to get back into the swing of things asap & back to losing.

I'm probably going to post again later after work with my game plan lay out of how I want things to go. No big huge goals, just gym days and more water intake to start myself back off with.

I'm excited to be back to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
