Current Weight: 191.4 lbs
As you can see, February didn't go so well for me. I apologize for my lack of posting, but I wasn't motivated. That's what happens to me, I get out of my routine and totally lose it. I got strep throat, and was out of the gym for a week. I also didn't drink water (it hurt!) and ate all salty things. This resulted in me gaining almost 6 pounds that week! INSANE!!! That was all it took for me to not post and be half "off the wagon" for the remaining week of the month.
The following week was our winter break. I spent the first few days in a cabin with a dear friend on a horse farm in Pennsylvania. The weather was beautiful, and we went on hikes 2 of the days we were there. The rest of the time we spent eating, drinking, reading and watching tv. Much needed relaxation, but not helping me on the health front! The next 2 days Chris and I spent in NYC as a belated Valentine's celebration. We did a million things, and most of them involved eating or drinking. Again, great fun, but not so great for the waistline. I didn't care though, I needed to enjoy myself, so I did. I wasn't in town to weigh in, so I skipped that week.
Since I've been back I've gotten back on track. I'm focusing on getting back into my exercise and eating routine. I'm also concentrating on drinking boatloads of water every day and cutting back on caffeine, artificial sweeteners and salt. I'm not cutting them out drastically, but reducing my intake can't hurt.
As far as my earnings from February, I'm calling it a wash. Anything I "earned" in the first half was negated by the second half. So, it's a new month, and a fresh start. I'm down .8 from my strep throat gain of misery, a start in the right direction. I'm keeping positive...
