February is here!

Hey everyone! 

   It’s been two-ish weeks since my last post. Here is what’s happening with me. I quit working out. I’ve been stressed and while working out is a great stress relief, it was what had to be cut because I was getting angry when the kids would disrupt or prevent me from being able to do it. Emotional stress has been running rampant and so it’s triggered some of my binge eating habits to come back but I’m working on those still. Binge eating carrots is still binge eating lol! While they’re far less calories than say M&Ms or chips, it’s still enabling the habits I’m trying to break.

My weight has fluctuated a lot. I got down to 171.6lbs at one point but went up to almost 174lbs again during this time. 

I am happy to report that this morning I weighed in at 171.0lbs and am working to drop the last 6lbs by the end of February and then I am going to focus on just changing our lifestyle. We’re going to slowly do more Paleo style eating and I am going to try to focus on maintaining and learning what that looks like for me so I don’t spend my life always tracking my food. 

Once Jay gets home, I should have a firm handle on the food side and we will work on integrating him into the new diet. He is going to introduce me to weight lifting and we plan to transform our garage into our personal fitness center. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but he’s taken quite the fancy to his health and fitness so I’m excited to see what he can teach me! 

Wish me luck! 6lbs to go! 

We’ve got this!
