Feeling like a Loser Blogger....but not a "loser" blogger.

I am feeling really bummed about my blogging lately.  I love blogging and it has definitely been something that has helped me maintain my weight loss.  But life sometimes just gets in the way.  Too much going on, too much to do, not enough time.

This is what I've been up to....





Cleaning out all the flower beds and then laying two yards of mulch has kept me crazy busy, plus working, plus running, plus other obligations.  But now it's done.  I even got the veggie garden planted pretty much except for a few plants that will go in later this week.

On weightloss/maintenance topic?  Well, good news is that the last four weight-ins, the number has dropped slightly each time.  That's a good thing.  Bad news is that according to my home scale, the number has gone up a few pounds since last weigh-in.  I have this week to get it back down before returning for weigh-in on Saturday.

Back to making up a big pitcher of water each day flavored with lemon, mint, and fresh ginger.  I leave it out and just keep through ice in it.  By leaving the water pitcher on the counter during the day, it's a much better signal to me to keep refilling my glass.  Yesterday was a successful water day.  Got it all in by the end of the day.

This is exactly what the maintenance journey is all about for me, little ups and downs.

We've have a trip coming in the near future to Florida.  I'd like to shed these "few pounds" before I go so that my summer clothes will be nice and comfy.  THAT'S a big motivation, comfortable clothes.

  1. Yeah. I've been doing a lot of "dusting" lately, Amanda. It's a tough time of year with all the work to get the garden cleaned up and work always picks up this year plus trying to get as much running in as I can (which hasn't happened much this week). I'll keep trying though.

    Good news is I'll have a week off coming up soon and maybe then can do a lot of reading and posting.
