Back on the Wagon

Hi! Wow, it’s been a LONG time since I’ve blogged. Life has been so busy and weight loss just has not been the priority. The end of January I switched departments within the same company I’ve been at for over 2 years and this new position is a bit more time consuming. Also, as many of you know I’m a singer and I’ve been working with 2 very talented song writers which has been taking up a lot of time. I’m probably going to start gigging within the next couple months as well so I’m a busy bee!!

The past week or two I’ve really been internally giving myself grief about my lack of exercise and nutrition and am now starting to re focus. I’ve been holding steady at 157lbs but now that I am just over 12 weeks away from my cruise and if I want to come anywhere close to my goal there is no more messing around.

Tonight I am going to Lahey Clinic to get a fill. I am going to get .1cc as I’d like to work my way slowly back to the 7.8 like I was back in October before I had to get some taken out. 7.8 felt like my sweet spot and I really think that is where I need to be to start dropping these last 20ish lbs. I am feeling really strong because I have been doing my circuit training, I love the way I feel when I lift weights but I really need more cardio. I’m going to be aiming for 30 minutes per day. Come on now I have 30 minutes each day to spare, I’m just being lazy if I don’t do it. =)

I hope you are all doing fabulous! Please let me know how you are as I have not had a chance to catch up on all the blogs yet! Talk to you soon, sooner than time since my last post! haha

Feelin Good!

Hello loves!
 
Today is such a B-E-A-U-T-F-U-L day here in MA. It's going to be 50+ degrees, I'm so excited. That might not be warm to all you beach bunnies out there but for this time of year in New England that is extremely warm, like unheard of. To put it in perspective, last year at this time I was in FL and was suppose to come home today and my flight was delayed 2 days because we were having a blizzard!!! That is one of the cool things about living in this area, no two days are ever the same. Don't get me wrong, I don't like snow but I appreciate the warm weather more I think because it does get so cold here.
 
Due to the fact that we have been having such nice weather this weekend I went for a walk on both Saturday and Sunday. I was not feeling so hot Monday so I didn't go out and Tuesday I have piano so I did not have time. I'd like to go tonight but honestly it's dark by the time I get home at 5:30 and I'm a little afraid of walking alone in the dark. Maybe that is silly but I've had a few things happen before that have made me leery of being alone. I'd rather be overcautious and safe than care free and abducted, you know? I have been doing my Circuit Training too, which always makes me feel really good. I'm trying my best to get myself on a routine because I always do better when I know exactly what I am doing each day.
 
Oh and I didn't tell you, one of my best friends (who was in my wedding) just go engaged and I'm going to be in another Wedding! I think it's going to be in August, but they don't have the date just yet. So my 3 years is in June which I want to hit goal for then so I am really excited to (fingers crossed, knock on wood) be at goal for her wedding, yay!
