Every one of us has plateaued in our search for health.
Every one of us has fluctuated in our search for health.
Every one of us has faltered in our quest to be fit.
I have done all three over the last several months.
First, I plateaued. I wasn't gaining, I wasn't losing, I was just staying the same. I was traveling a great deal for work and constantly battling sinus issues. I ate healthy and this saved me. I was just standing on a plateau.
Then, I would fluctuate a pound or two. It wasn't a bit deal. Sometimes on a trip, I would gain a few, but I would drop them right off when I got home.
Then I faltered. Sometimes life hands us obstacles that we cannot overcome. And, when food is your comfort, it is hard to turn away. This is what happened to me two months ago when my father died. At first, I could not eat. Then, when I could, I ate very poor choices. I ate comfort foods.
I have gained 8 lbs.
I am not going to keep gaining.
Most people would say: "I will wait until after the holidays."
Not me.
I started Monday.
So far so good. I am documenting my recipes for another blog on how to survive the Holiday with quick and easy meals. So check out Surviving the Holidays.
Because I will survive the Holidays. And, I will lose weight. And, I will get back on track.
