Here it is Jan 2012 and I am back to 150 lbs. :-(
2010 was a great year for me, I loss 30 lbs and felt great and looked my best, than came after the holiday blues. Winter set in and my desire to eat healthy and exercise went out the door. I started 2011 with high hopes and it lasted till March, when I started back to work and didn't make time to for my daily workouts. I gained 10 lbs back by Jan and started the program again but cheated a lot, I never omitted the gains from diet and without exercise I could not loose the 10 lbs I gained. I thought to myself 135 - 140 was OK, so I just ate smaller portions. I quit my job around June so I could start construction on our home. I worked like a dog tearing down plaster walls, slats, blown insulation, cleaning tons of dirt off floors, painting walls, staining and varnishing trim and wood floors. I also tried keeping up with my gardening. I was so busy I never made time to recreation like riding my bike going on walks, swimming in the ocean, lifting weights or any other kind of cardio exercise. I ate out a lot because I was too tired to cook. By November I had gained another 5lbs. Feeling down and out I went on the detox to loose some of the weight because I knew I would be eating a ton of food the next 2 months so I loss 8 lbs. I did a lot of baking because I love to bake, just one problem I love to eat what I bake. So now it is Jan and I was stunned when I got on the scale I weighed 150.2 lbs. So here I go again.
One thing that helped me succeed in 2010 was this blog. So weather or not people read this I want to feel and look like I did in 2010. I am sure there are many people out there that on the weight roller-coaster so heres to here and hope you will join me in getting back in shape.
Here is my daily log for week 1
