Just a Housebear

Hey, so I don’t have a lot of time, but I wanted to write really quickly to let you know that I haven’t fallen off the wagon. This wasn’t one of those things that I do where I diet for a few weeks, don’t get results and quit.

After my last post, I got a really terrible cold that had me down for about a week and a half. I was still trying to eat right but I didn’t have a very big appetite and I wasn’t exercising at all. My weight stayed the same.

Then I started getting ready for my Disneyland trip and that was sucking up all of my time, but I was still eating right, only I didn’t have time to work out. My weight stayed the same.

Then I went to Disneyland. I was bummed because I wanted to be down to 181 before I left, but remember all that trouble I was having with the scale? Well, it didn’t change. The scale hadn’t budged. I determined that I must be doing something wrong and I would handle it when I got back from vacation.

After vacation I hopped on the scale to see how things were measuring up and FINALLY, I was back down to 190 again. Not where I was hoping to be at this point, but I was really happy to see that something had happened. I am wondering if perhaps the stress of planning a vacation for 5 people had something to do with the weight not coming off.

I ate pretty much like crap in Disneyland, not terrible, but pretty much like crap because we were eating out everywhere. I was able to make a few healthy choices, like egg white omelets, but most of the time I was chowing down burgers and pizza because they were cheap and easy to share. Thankfully we did a TON of walking and I think that is what helped keep the pounds off while we were eating out so much.

Now that we are back home I am still eating right, but I haven’t been able to work out yet. With all the Christmas shopping, birthday parties, Christmas parties, work functions, blah blah blah, I haven’t worked out a bit. My weight is still down to 190 and hasn’t gone up. I am watching it really closely since I am worried about gaining weight while I’m too busy to work out.

I’ll keep you updated.
