Day 1 (Decmber 26th, 2012)

New Info (as of December 26th, 2012)

Since my last regular posting we have had many, many things changed in our lives. New baby. No more working for me. Move across NY state from NYC area to Buffalo. It's been an adjustment and I have to wrap my head around weight loss differently now. As of this day, I am recommitting and starting over. This is no longer an extenuation of my original 100 pound, 365 day journey. It's different because life is different. Time to adjust and get back to healthy. It won't be the same and I can't expect to succeed in the same way now as I have in the past.

So let's get on with it!

My current (and scary) stats:

• Weight: 230.4 lbs. I was 207 a month ago. This was the lowest I got after baby #3 and before beginning to gain again. Still not my highest weight ever, but scares the ever-loving bejeezus out of me.
• Eating habits until today: any and everything without thought, but always in response to boredom, stress and lack of energy to make anything healthy.
• My hubby is along for the ride intentionally this time, which will be a huge help for me. He came along last time because I gave him no choice with being the food buyer/preparer in the house. This time he is going to face this challenge and revamp of lifestyle head on. Thank you my Love :)

So today I start over at Day 1. New lifestyle, new challenges ahead, new commitment.   

Day 103

So vacation has come and gone, as well as one week of a missed weigh-in and...

I LOST 3.6 lbs.!!!!

I proved to myself that I can still manage in worst case scenarios and not make myself crazy over whether or not I'm going to be successful. Back in the saddle today though eating-wise and I have to find a way to incorporate activity into the remainder of the days that I'm on break. I'll also be going home to Buffalo, New York, to visit with my side of the family one week from today. It's daunting to go there because a large part of my visits there have to do with the 'tastes' of home. The food there is different and no other place in the country can do wings the way Buffalo does, or beef on weck, Theodore's hot dogs (made by Sahlens), and Anderson's frozen custard. These are tradition and staples in life in Buffalo and I will not miss out on them- but I have to have a plan to properly incorporate them and keep moving. Eh, I'll figure it out : )
