Heart to heart

This blog has proven to be the most difficult task, in my opinion. Going into this weightloss experience I was so pumped. I just knew it was going to be the best thing for me and I was going to really lose weight. After keeping off the 25lbs from Biggest Loser, I was ready to see how much more I could take off.

With trips to see the nutritionist, Body Pump, and the Women's Running School, there has been some definite progress, but there's also been challenges along the way. My weight gain over the past couple of months has been a disappointment. It's a huge embarassment to post my weight each week knowing everyone is watching me gain. Sure there are tons of excuses I could make, but the bottom line is... there has to be a change. Life happens, and yes it will get in the way, but I just can't give up.

I am trying to re-prioritize and get my head back in the game. As one of the WW members stated at lunch, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." As I look at the different areas of my life that I'm trying to change, I realize that the only way I'll get to see that "goal-Lauren" is to keep biting off little pieces. For right now, those little pieces are:

1. Tracking EVERYTHING with Weight Watchers
2. Getting atleast 30min of exercise in every day (can be non-structured)
3. Water, water, and more water... I may float away, but it'll be worth it!

People have been very supportive and offered their words of encouragement, and I really appreciate it. This is a journey and I'm sure there will be more tough weeks, maybe even months, ahead but I will just keep swimming!
