Confessions & Realizations

Confessions                                                                          Realizations
I haven’t exercised since July 16’s 5K                            I miss running.
I’m not eating enough calories                                         I’m a bit stressed.
I have been smoking again                                               Failure.
I’ve lost 41 pounds                                                            And I still feel fat. 

Here are some pictures of Patrick and myself in our wedding attire.



Other than my disappointment in smoking again, I am pretty proud of my accomplishments so far.  I'm looking to lose another 19 pounds before the end of the year (I am down 41 pounds and 42 inches).  I haven't had time to blog because of the busyness of my job and just...life.  I have had a lot of stress lately (which I have shared with some of you) and add in the hustle and bustle of summer, GAH! I needed a way quick way to deal.  Not to excuse any of my bad habits, but I'm still super proud that I haven't gone back to my old eating habits.  The fact that I have overcome that battle of my life (and boy, has it been a loooong battle) and have lost over 40 pounds tells me, I can do anything. So I know that I can (and will) quit again, I had to take....just....one....thing off my plate for now.  

I'm sorry to dissapoint anyone, but I'm only human and we all make mistakes.  

I do want to say THANK YOU to everyone who continues to support me, love me and encourage me on this journey.  Especially my husband and our "get healthy" partners - Stacy and Tom (who have together lost over 125 pounds - last I heard).
