Well life kept throwing me curve balls in the last year. I lost a dear friend, and then things happened with Dad, and the stress just got the best of me. I stopped exercising, and then when I plateaued, instead of working through it, I just gave up. Hey, that is life right? Sometime you get knocked down. And if you get knocked down a few times in a row, it takes a while to get back up. At least it did for me.
So I have started doing the shakes every day again. I am leaving for a race trip tomorrow, and packed a blender and will put my shake supplies in the camper after I make my morning shake. But even in the year long break, I only gained back 10 pounds. Not like the other yo-yo dieting in the past where I have lost 20, but then gained 30. Or lost 10, and gained 20.
Plus now I have some extra motivation. My wonderful extended family is doing a family weight loss challenge! :) Stay tuned for updates!
