I'm still here!


So we meet again! 
I'm really not even sure why I fell off the face of the earth but I did. Hah. I feel like I was trying to find balance and I was having trouble finding the time to keep up with blogging daily. I need to get better at that because it is therapeutic for me and I feel like it's another way to keep me accountable. Myfitnesspal hasn't been going so well. I still post regularly on my IG account but I really do enjoy blogging. So here I am!

I'll be honest, I'm pretty bummed looking back at the last time I blogged. September 1st. Ugh! The most upsetting part of that was seeing the weight I posted and that it's pretty spot on to my weight right now. It's been a bumpy few weeks. I find myself falling out of routine and not being as dedicated with my eating. It's frustrating because I was doing so well. I mean honestly, for a while I thought it was too good to be true that I was so consistent with losing weight. I can't be mad about the up and down nonsense that's been going on. I just have to recommit and put in the work I know I'm capable of. 

I need more structure. That being said, I loved 21dayfix so I'm giving that another go starting Nov 1st. I love the variety and intensity of the workouts and I feel like the eating and having a solid meal plan kept me on track. I'm looking forward to some more awesome results. 

In the mean time. I just need to find time for myself, stay positive and not let silly things bring me down. When I have downer days (similar to today) I look at old pictures and find hope. Today I came across a picture and had to take a current one to truly enjoy the side by side comparison. I was pretty happy with what I saw. 


Tequila shots to sippy cups & squats!

I've come so far in this journey. I am proud of what I've accomplished. I've got 20ish pounds to lose until I reach my goal and pictures like these help me find that spark. It drives me to work that much harder and keep my chin up. 

I need to start making weekly goals, heck even daily goals would be awesome. I need to manage my time better so I can fit in time for ME. It's hard with two toddlers but it's not impossible. My goal for this week is to focus on my attitude. I haven't been myself and I need to get out of my own head. 

Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is having a good week so far! <3
