Weight loss.. Yea back to the grind. No, it is not the New Year that gets me back on track. It is the end of my businesses busy season that pulls me off healthy track: because I have to ship and play Santa, because I go in survival mode. Many people would say you have to remember yourself when stress levels get high. Yea, I am not good at that, so for about a month and half all that matter is getting my orders shipped. During this time I work had and try to be a super human.
The good news this year is I did not gain over the holidays because I work and forget to eat. I force my self to work and reward my self with an apple or cup of tea. I was also sick cold or flu for a week so I just drank water and tea. I did partake over the holidays but not that much as usual.
Started walking with my good friend Hilary again. So I am back on track we went walking on Friday and today. I am already hitting 10K steps a day.
I also been using the FitBit to track my progress. My weigh myself on the Fitbit Aria scale is a big help because it syncs with my fitbit. The Fitbit is a interactive pedometer that syncs with your computer it tracks your steps, stairs,burn rate, activity rate, and more. How about your sleep pattern fitbit will track yours. The fitbit clips to your bra, waistband and they even have a new bracelet. The Fitbit interface will offer remind via text or email you how many steps you have to do to reach a goal. You can also link up the fitbit with social media. I love it it keeps we going through out the day. You’re just steps away from better fitness.
I am really looking forward to getting back to being active.
One year ago today I weight 276 today 258.6- 19.4lb lost in the last year

I did too reg lunches help .. for me it is late night. Good Luck thanks for stopping by
Congrats on the significant loss! I hope I can do the same…
You can do it Heather !!!
I use a FitBit too. I also lost 20 lbs. this year. I am considering gastric bypass to try to get ahead of some of my weight related medical issues. It is hard to even think about, but I want to get rid of the medical problems and this seems like the only way- as I’ve tried every other route. Good luck on your journey!
My thoughts are with you that we all will get healthy this year.
Great post. Looking forward to following your progress. Be sure to wear your S -cape—It Will give you super powers!
Thanks for the suport as always Ilene.
sweet! just keep doing what you’re doing girl!
It sounds like you did pretty good this year! Give yourself credit if you didn’t put on weight over the holiday too. (I know I did!)
We all have to think positive thoughts and move forward in the new year.
Nice work! I know I can’t say the same about not gaining over the holidays:( Great job!
We will all have a great new year, one step at a time.
I have got to start running again! I am worn out all the time and I know it’s directly related to lack of regular exercise (and lack of sleep). Keep up the good work and I’m thrilled that you don’t beat yourself up for what you know is inevitable…just get back up and keep moving forward.
Love the fitbit! Is such a fun tool to aid us to lose weight. Let’s have a fantastic 2013.
The Fitbit is the bomb. Two my clients have one and they are getting good results. Congrats on your weight loss. Next year you will be 40 -50 pounds down.
