Regaining our motivation

Just like James posted previously, we were slackers for about one week (due to our vacation/my summer training in St. Simons Island, GA - we'll talk about this later). God was too kind to us, though and we didn't gain much...James probably gained around 3 lbs and I think I gained around 2 lbs. You know what this meant, right? We had to spend one week (re) losing the weight that we had already lost. I believe this played a major part in our attitude towards the gym when we returned. There was just no motivation in losing weight that you already lost once. Something I have learned, though....Be afraid of vacations....very, very afraid! But still try and get your exercise in and avoid restaurants as much as possible. I definitely think we did better in Florida than on this vacation. We took our scale (not that it helped) but we didn't exercise at all. We tend to be more conscious of our eating when we're exercising...cause of course you don't want all the sweat and tears to be for nothing. Moving along...

Regaining our motivation. We have whined and complained about exercise since our return and we decided last Friday that we have to suck it up (like we did in June). We just did it. It was hard at first but it got easier. Both of us have the potential this month of seeing numbers on the scale that we haven't seen in a long while (since going upwards on the scale) and this can be exciting for us. James is around 314 lbs right now (point whatever) but he has seen as low as 313 (point something) on the scale recently. Today I weighed in at 191.2 (the lowest so far) and I am very excited about this. With no vacations coming up we can finally keep pressing forward without setbacks. My goal is to not see 192 again (although I'm aware my weight could fluctuate). My weight has hoovered around 192 for so long that I'm just fed up with it. I need a change and it is time to step it up! Moving along...

Back to that vacation/summer training. We visited St. Simons Island, Brunswick, Jeckyll Island, Savannah and Tybee Island (all in the southern part of Georgia). We didn't care for St. Simons Island, Brunswick or Jeckyll Island; however, Savannah and Tybee Island will always be one of "our spots". Once again, we'll post pics when we can (we're too lazy after working and working out...lol). We still have to post pics from Florida (earlier in July).

Keep us in your prayers!
