My life has been somewhat crazy the past few months. When I was back to school I let myself gain about 10-15 lbs. instead of losing the weight that I wanted to.
I'm working hard to get back in control.
I was reading what successful dieters had in common. Success being keeping the weight off after the diet.
Some things I want to note there is that I ought to keep averaging an hour a day of exercise. It really does make a difference. Exercise gives me more energy and motivates me to eat better. If I sit around and watch TV, I don't have any work to ruin. If I exercise though, I usually will think that "if I eat this then what was the point of that exercise today?" I realize that I'm just going to ruin the workout.
So for starters I want to make sure I do at least an hour of working out 6 days/week whether it be split up or in one chunk, or whether it just be walking or full on running. This is one easy goal I can handle. Other than that, I'm working on a low carb lifestyle and hoping to maintain that.
Sometimes life contains restarts. I just need to be okay with that and move on.
