New Lease on Life!

I confess that the week of "Not Knowing" took my focus far from dieting. Then after the biopsy, I couldn't jog for a week. These are all excuses for why I gained 4 lbs - ugh! The Good news is I feel like I have a new lease on life after finding out that the tumor was benign. Thank you everyone for your prayers. Too many women are not as fortunate and do not get that second chance. With this realization, I need to jump back on the band wagon. I have no excuse now for being lazy, feeling sorry for myself and eating ice cream all night; in general, going back to old bad habits.

I still have the saboteurs and temptations. The difference is that a few weeks ago, I could stand up to them. Lately, the snack monster has been winning the battle (aka Steve aka Dad). I need to be in control again and say "NO thank you" and stick to the plan.

Leah has encouraged me to blog again and set new goals. Here goes -> New Goal is to be smaller and look better than the Mother of the Groom - HA! I better get busy - I only have 12 months.

My Dream Mother of the Bride Dress - I need to have a waistline to pull it off:


I jogged every night this week (except tonight) and amazingly, even with the weight gain, the energy is still up. IF I can drop 25 more pounds, it would be like jogging on clouds compared to now, jogging in quick sand. Second New Goal -> to jog on clouds by Nov. 1 (- 22lbs).


And here I go....................
