Well, it has been like four months or something since either James or I have posted to this blog. After Cayden returned home and school started (we're back in school working towards our degrees) exercise and eating right just seemed to take a back seat to day-to-day life and stress. Our semester is nearing and end (thank God!) but we've totally fallen off. I am back at my starting weight of 200 lbs now. I am very discouraged. To be honest, it took longer than I thought to come back considering we stopped working out and started eating out again. My body was very kind to me. I can honestly say that you don't just put the weight back on over night. It was a gradual process over these few months. I do see, though, that not making my health a priority just leads to my misery.
So here's the deal, it is just too hard for me to lose the weight with a partner. When things are going well, they're going well! But, when one of us doesn't feel like working out, it affects us both! Also, trying to motivate someone else when you need that extra push yourself is just too hard. I have to put a focus on my weight loss first and hopefully James will be motivated by my journey. I have stated before that I have lost weight in the past. I did it alone. My biggest struggle was and probably will always be keeping the weight off. It is very difficult for me since being married trying to keep the weight off. My husband has been overweight all of his life and he mentions food a lot. We're both emotional eaters, probably like a lot of folks and this doesn't help my cause.
As of today, I am starting a new blog, where I will focus on myself, not just weight either...my life, my journey, my happiness, my weight...everything that will make me a better person, the person I picture myself as. I'll post a link to the new journal.
