I've been a very bad girl

I have officially fallen off the wagon. I can't believe I let this happen. I'm absolutely crushed that I haven't worked out in months and my diet is pretty horrible right now. It's not the worst my diet has ever been, but it's not pretty at all.

It's been a long series of events that have led to this. Hubby was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in February. I stopped dooing Beachbody programs so I could help motivate him to get up and walk in the mornings. We weren't very consistent with getting that done. We did try to get in a few hikes over the summer but his work schedule left little time for hiking. Then I got busy with editing over the summer. I ran out of time for the blog. Once I stopped blogging,  I pretty much stopped working out.

I slowly put most of the weight back on. I'm back to a men's size 46 jeans and they are getting tight. I was going to start working out January 3rd, but I fell at work on December 30th and hurt my foot. There isn't much I can do right now. I could try some chair excersizes or upper body weights but I don't want to risk making the recovery take longer. I can't even drive because it's my right foot.

My normal process to get back into the groove is to start with working out and then adjust my diet. I might have to reverse that because this inactivity is not going to do anything good for me if I keep eating cookies and ice cream for dessert.

I'm not adding any pretty pictures of scenery or flowers because this post does not deserve pretty pictures. This is a depressing post with me facing up to reality. I need to do something and I need to do it now. I have a new iPad so hopefully I'll be able to do some blogging to get me on track. I didn't realize how important the blog was to my success but it seems that it truly is. We did a few hikes this summer that I didn't blog about. Once I got behind it kinda made me not want to hike because it was just more work I didn't have time to deal with. I even did some Beachbody on demand yoga but never had time to blog. I also tried Beachbody County Heat, but once again, no time to blog about it. Then I just gave up.

I let life get in the way, but I'm optimistic that I can take control again. It's pretty time consuming typing this out on the iPad. I would have been dines ages ago with a keyboard so maybe I will invest in a Bluetooth keyboard. Let's see if I can manage a full time job, a part time job, taking classes for medical coding and refocusing attention to the blog. If I wasn't insane before, I think I might be before too long. I might have to really test his theory of "If it's important to you, you will make time instead of excuses.
