I haven't been here in a while, not because I'm avoiding revealing my horrid slide into bad eating and weight gain. I've actually been out of town and although I could try to stay away from bat eating habits, when I'm with others who are in a celebratory mode, I just wasn't able to do it. My sister-in-law graduated from high school and is on her way to college, so when the family planned on getting together, the bad eating days were ON!
I had lots of tasty, delicious, not so healthy for you meals and therefore, have been avoiding the scale like horse supplements since I came back home. It's been a crazy ride up the scale and now that I'm back home, I can focus a little more on better eating. On top of that, I need to get it in gear since I was diagnosed with "high cholesterol" a few months back. I don't take medication for this, but it's something to be concerned about, right! I mean, I'm not that old yet and high cholesterol isn't even a family condition, so....
Oh well, I'm getting back to my healthy eating habits right away, so there's a light at the end of the tunnel.... I hope!

Vacation Week - Weight Loss Moves
Today, I will not talk about weight loss since I'm no further than where I was last week. I am still maintaining even though I know I should be losing. It'll get better. I know it will, so I'm not worried about it.
This is the week that I'm going away and I can't wait to get there and be back home. I use to really look forward to vacations and I do now too, but it's a little different since I have a business. The business basically goes on the road with me and not having my files and my fingertips for several days at a time can throw my flow off a little bit.
On the other hand, I do have an awesome air card from Verizon that I take wherever I go, so it is a huge help. It's like being lost and having one of those gps systems to get you out of trouble. Without that card, I don't know what I would do. My business would not be able to run otherwise. I need internet access. After all, my business is online!
A few years ago, the internet was nowhere near as important for my family as it is today. Half of our income comes from this wonderful world of the world wide web. Anyway, until next time. Gotta run!

Weight Loss Moves Update
It's hard to believe that one can let oneself go through so many ups and downs with weight loss, but there you have it! That's what I've been doing. I've been doing a self checkin once a week for a month now and I'm exactly where I started a month ago. During the month, I lost weight and then gained it back week to week. Just that small journaling is really telling. What am I really doing here? What are my goals? Am I to maintain weight that I know I need to lose or am I really trying to lose weight?
Well, I know that I want to lose 30 pounds. I know that I need to do it for health reasons and also because it's uncomfortable carrying around weight I don't need. It doesn't look good and doesn't make me feel good either. I've been reading about colon cleansers that boost weight loss, such as the Colonix program, and I know it's true that keeping your colon cleansed does wonders for your system and even keeps you having a healthy glow to your skin, but it's not enough to actually keep the weight down. You have to change your lifestyle!
So, here we are at the start of a new week and I am reaffirming my commitment to weight loss. My children are home with me for the summer and I'm determined to keep them active as well as myself. We'll see what exercise does to assist.
