Getting back on track



I lost 15 lbs this past month, which is an average of 3.75 lbs per week, compared to my usual 2.5-2.75 lbs per week that I have been losing for quite some time. I don't know why there was a bit of a spike. I didn't feel well throughout most of the month and I wasn't exercising nearly the way I had been. Perhaps I lost muscle mass, but I don't know if it would have an impact so quickly.

As I've mentioned earlier this week, I have filled my plate with lots of other things, and I need to get back to making my healthy living a priority, until I reach my goal weight. At that point, it still needs to be a big focus for me, but it doesn't have to be the biggest. My life will move on, and I will get to do lots of things I never could have done. Until then, this still needs to be my primary focus.

I lost 150 lbs since last fall, and I feel like my goal weight is within my reach, since I'm 75% (or more) of the way there. As the weight continues to fall off, it's easy for me to shift my focus since it seems to be happening all by itself now, but I can't let that happen. Now that I'll be back to solid foods soon, I need to get back to my meal planning, grocery shopping, and working out 6x/week.

Starting today. I don't believe in waiting until Monday. Once you recognize the need for change, it's time to change immediately. Every moment you wait/waste, you lose momentum.
