  And here we are again ....

  Sigh ... I'd like to blame it on the fact my best workout partner has a terrible battle with colon cancer, my husband's mother passed away and I traveled for a few weeks with a toddler in 100+ degree heat of the south .... but, lets face it, my body just loves being at 145 and since all my clothes fit at that weight - I easily slide back on the 5 lbs... its true, the last 5 are the HARDEST... there is little motivation other than its completly aggravating to keep gaining and loosing it again, but I like my body enough not to have a fire to go workout - I rather read, be with baby, or simply just be. So .... I'm committing myself to getting there before I turn 41. Let's go .... again ;-)

  A Journey into Vegan....

  hmmm... so I busted out of my 140s, but it took going completely vegan... and let's face it, after 3 days of complete immersion I've discovered a few things. Its really hard to find access to the accepted foods. And when I can't find them, I just do without. I'm dipping below 1000 cals a day?? No wonder I'm loosing weight!! I'm giving it a fighting chance, but I already see seafood coming back in my life and I doubt I can live without eggs and cheese. It just cuts too many option out of my menu. But, I'm trying.... I'm eating my veggies, grains and beans... I have not touched soda, chocolate, sweets . The odd thing is I am not really hungry and I don't miss anything except a good cold fountain coke. And wow my system is starting to work smoothly and I feel very light. We'll see.... I can say it feels really good to be committed, but 3 days does not a vegan make :)

  A change in attitude

  More than half way thru my 10-week training program this time, and I've realized its not about the last 5 lbs anymore. My body is changing and I am feeling stronger and healthier even though the scale is consistently constant... 140. It's no longer about the number, but enjoying life and living better. I don't even miss the sodas anymore! :) Coming back on here to start tracking my food again as I don't think I am eating enough to fuel my workouts. So let's see....

  Consistently constant...

  I have been working VERY hard and I lost a mere one pound in this month... granted its the holidays, but I have not really increased my eating. At times its frustrating, other times I remind myself at least I am constantly going down... but the staying the same for a long time and eeking off one pound is a little distressing. I think I need to get drastic .....
