I Fell Off The Wagon!

I have shared my health journey with you and my battle to lose weight.  I recently had a Dr. appointment and the Dr. was so happy that I had lost 23 lbs since my last visit.  I was pretty happy about that too, if I do say so myself.  I feel like I struggle more in the summer and of course, the holidays to lose or maintain weight.  The summer in my mind is a time for cocktails, ice cream, and bbq.  We just celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary with a dinner out at a Mexican restaurant.  I enjoyed a Jalapeno Margarita, chips, fresh guac, and enchiladas.  So good!! The next day was Sean's birthday.  We enjoyed bbq, sides, birthday cake, and again, more cocktails.  Today I am bloated and have gained 4 lbs over the weekend. In years past I would have had so much guilt about gaining that weight.  I don't feel great about it because of all of the hard work it took me to lose those 4lbs but guess what, I will do it again! 

One thing that weight watchers taught me years ago is that just because you stumble down a few stairs doesn't mean you throw yourself down the whole staircase.  I had a couple days where I indulged. Make the correction and get back on track.  I may have fallen off of that wagon for a couple of days but I am about to jump back on and secure my spot.  My birthday is next month and guess what, there will be cake, cocktails and I am hoping for some good seafood!  Let's see if my friends and family are reading this. HA!

Friends, we may stumble and fall but we are conquerors!  Get back after it and stay focused on your WHY, no matter what it is. You can do this!  Be BOLD!!    

Note - I wrote this before I went on vacation.  I did gain a couple lbs while on vacation but again, I will start fresh, reset, and get back to it.  Such is life.  Never give up on yourself. Be BOLD!
