Let me just say that weightloss really is a journey!!  For so many months I had nothing to share, at least it felt that way, and so much was going on....so I never wrote.  And then I went off the bandwagon and gained my weight back so lost hope!  But today I was looking through blog's and just decided to check mine out and I see that it has been accessed 572 times!  WOW!  I figured I better start writing again in case I can provide support to someone out there that's going through what I am!


Well, since I was last posting I was moving to NJ.  I'm here now.  I live in South Brunswick NJ and have been here since March 5th.  It's been quite an adjustment from Colorado, but I'm making the most of it.  As I mentioned, I had been traveling and gained back all my weight...I was at 186.5lbs.  The good news is that I've been back on cycle 1 for 15 days now and I'm at 181lbs.  That kind of sucks since I was at 172lbs before...but what's great is that I'm back on track and moving in the right direction.  I'm thinking that life is a little more stable now and that I will continue on the program until I get to where I want to be.  The question is where do I want to be?!  Since I'm 39 I'd like to get pregnant again ASAP (I have a 23 month old) so my first goal is to be under 170lbs before I get pregnant....so I'm on it!  But my ultimate goal is to be more like 140lbs or less.  But one step at a time!  I know I'd be so happy at 160lbs...I'd feel so skinny ;)


Ok, so what have I been doing?  I continue to work out at least 5 days a week.  I was doing 2 hours a day on some days, but now I'm mostly doing an hour class.  Usually spinning, Yoga, step, or a sculpting class.  This has been working well for me.  I always hated spinning but I'm starting to get used to it and I feel it makes a difference.  Regarding food, I keep trying to make new dressings for salad.  My new thing is loving a simple spinach salad.  I always "cheat" a little because I add some nuts to my salad and also a little bit of goat cheese...that really helps me get through, oh, and some dried cranberries :)  Anyway, I'll start writing more often now to see if that'll help me keep on track!  Ok, until tomorrow!
