It has been a while since I have updated.  That does seem to be my mantra these days, does it not?  Things at work has gone crazy/insane and my energy level in the evenings has decreased dramatically.  No excuses, I take full responsibility.  I haven’t been walking as I should and upon occasion, I have not done so well with my eating. 

I have found out it is easy to go back to old habits that are easy when under pressure and stress.  When I say I have gone back to old habits, I mean snacking and eating more processed easy foods rather than continuing to eat the raw vegetables and foods that are better for me.  I found something interesting and kind of cool though.  Even though I did a bit of a backslide, I was able to maintain the gains I have made.  Previously when I did this, I began to gain the weight back and this of course worked on the psyche sending the message of “what’s the use, I have already blown it, I might as well give up”  Yes this is a self-sabbotaging behavior, yes I have fallen into that trap.  This time, even though I knew I goofed, I saw the results of my previous work and focus and it was easier to get back imto taking care of myself better. 

It seems that making changes slowly is helping my body to take better care of itself as well.  It has really begun to communicate with me.  Does that sound weird?  When I eat something that I shouldn’t, my body will let me know in a variety of ways.  Most prevalent of course is not feeling well.  By this I mean, I feel naseuous, bloated, and i get stomache cramps.  Just feeling awful is enough to remind me the next time.  :)
