Week 18

Well. After 4 months of weight loss, I guess this was bound to happen. We both gained a pound or more each. There are reasons - like not tracking food properly, over eating, eating things that we aren't sure the calories it contains - but the biggest reason for us is STRESS. We have been pretty stressed out and our bodies seem to be holding that against us.

I was feeling pretty down then I saw this story. This article is from 2 years ago, but he looks even better now. This man was 650 pounds and didn't go anywhere for 10 years then he lost 400 pounds with a personal trainer over 2 years. Now he's found that under all that fat he is a pretty good looking guy. It was a very uplifting story for me. Make sure to check it out!

So, it is a good reminder this week to keep going and renew our focus. I need to focus on what I'm eating and what I'm doing to burn my calories. We will, as always, continue on this path to our new lives.
