Day 2 of breaking the sugar cycle

I got my butt out of bed this morning and ran for 30 minutes. It felt really good, and I was happy to have my workout completed for the day. I have to remind myself of how good exercise makes me feel when I'm trying to talk myself out of getting up early to work out.

Another day of sugar free eating. It's not bad if I plan my meals and snacks in advance. After eating too many chocolate bars and other sweets to count over the past few months I'm sure my body is heaving a huge sigh of relief.

getting my mojo back

It's been over five months since I lasted posted. I've gained some weight since I hit my low of 200 back in December. I think after working really hard to get below 200 and having the scale stall at 200 ... I mean seriously? Couldn't I have stalled at 199? I kind of stopped caring. I have not given up though.

I am determined to get back in weight loss mode and have started making the changes necessary to do just that. I've started walking at lunch time and planning my meals. I've also stopped the daily chocolate bars that were not helping matters.

Hubby and I are finally making it official and we will be getting married in the fall. I had my first dress trials on Sunday and the experience was great. I had multiple dresses to choose from and most of them were flattering on. I didn't find "the dress" but I know that I will. The experience would have been very different pre band. I'm going to do the Whole 30 for 30 days, (Camille has inspired me) starting on July 3rd. I've got too many things going on in the next 2 weeks to begin before then but I'm committed to doing it. I'll post my results at the end and check in during. I'm also going to try and blog more regularly. I've been keeping up with blogs and have finally figured out how to post comments from my iphone. I'm looking forward to finally, finally getting under 200.
