Back on Track

So after many months of chaos I am finally getting settled and am ready to get back on track with my weight loss. YAY!! I have no idea what I weigh right now, but I know it is not good….. The stress that comes along with moving to a different country with only two weeks notice and then getting stuck on the other side of the US for a month with no place to call home except for your in-laws spare bedroom in addition to leaving your job (going from full time to part time) is enough to lead most stress eaters to overeat and lethargically forget about exercise. Ahhhh it was crazy!!! I guess you could say there have been a lot of changes in my life recently. But, after being here, in Brisbane, Australia for a month I am starting to feel settled and am definitely ready to jump back on the weight loss wagon!!

I started today by running/walking two miles around the Brisbane river. Man am I out of shape- 4 months ago I could run 3 miles and now I am only probably running one of the two!! It’s okay though- slowly but surely…. I also started weight watchers today. Not officially or anything like that, but I did do it officially last year through work and so I have all the tools I need to calculate and track my points and today is my day one. I know tracking my points and being held accountable for everything that goes into my mouth will help. My scale is currently held up in Australian customs with about 1000 lbs of other stuff being shipped from Maryland to here. The illogical (and possibly lazy) side of me wanted to wait until I got my scale to get back on track, but I can proudly say I didn’t let that happen and even though I don’t know my current weight (which I have a feeling is probably quite a bit higher than the last time I stepped on a scale) I am back on track!!!!

Moving pains

Oh. My. Word.

I am so exhausted I can't even tell you ...

I moved this weekend and it was one of the longest moves ever. I have no idea how I accumulated that much stuff living in an attic, but apparently, I did.

I pushed my muscles to their breaking points and am just now feeling the kinks go away.

I ate horribly - ordered pizza, Chinese and cooked up bacon and mac n cheese. But I'm fairly confident I worked it off.

Since I don't have access to a scale, however, I won't know for a bit.
