I'm back for real...


After getting lost on the road to weight loss I finally found my way back. I gained back 17 pounds which is super frustrating but I had some issues I had to work out in order to get back on the path. 

This weekend we spent with my amazing sister-in-law Nicole who looks amazing and helped inspire me to get going again. I am back and hope to stay on track, but even if I get lost it is not the end of the world and I can always find my way back. 

This Saturday I am running a 5k with an amazing friend and Emma. It is a night run and will be a lot of fun! I love these races and the feeling of accomplishment. 

I haven't posted on here since I ran my half marathon two weeks ago. I had hurt my ankle and not run for a couple of weeks prior. I ran all but the last half mile. I hit a wall on the last hill and just couldn't run another step. I feel like a rock star since I have never run that far at one time before and took a half hour off of my time from the last time I ran this race. I continue to amaze even myself with what I can accomplish. I need to go downstairs and run my three miles, I was hoping the rain would stop but we need it so I won't complain. Life is good and only gettingn better so I will continue to chug along.
Today, I decided that the toughest part for me is coming up with what to eat and then fixing it. It is so much more convenient to grab something at a fast food place unless you decide to cook for four hours and get everything prepared. Here is what I have been doing. I have the top shelf full of proteins the next shelf has fresh veggies cut up for easy treats as well as roasted veggies for meals. Under that there are waters, then hummus which I am going to like;-), eggs followed by apples and other misc veggies! One week of food in one afternoon.
