Catching Up and Refocusing

Wow... while I haven't completely failed on this road to a new me, life has kept me from being as diligent about it as I would like. I have forgotten to write about it as well as do a weigh in every two weeks like promised. I havent been able to walk as often with Jen and her little ones as I would like to and I sometimes cheat about what I eat. The one good thing I have kept up with is the no soda policy. Dont get me wrong, I have ordered a few over the last month but never get more then a quarter of it down. The taste is too much. Now I am friends with water, tea and iced tea.

My very dear friend Mackenzie commented on my last post and something she said helped me refocus on what I want to accomplish. "Slow and Steady Wins the Race". While I know losing weight too quickly can cause you to gain it back again in the long run, its hard not to get impatient. For me that impatuience causes me to lose focus and sometimes creates frustration. That frustration usually gets the best of me and that's where I end up in limbo and often times fail. But her words have helped to drag me out of the funk I was finding myself in. I have now refocused. I will be patient. I will take it slow. I will lost the fluff. I will fight it. I will NOT fail.
