Nope, I didn't fall off the face of the earth!!

Yep!  I'm still alive!  LOL.  A bit embarrased at my lack of posting, BUT I'm back.  September and October kicked my booty.  I didn't eat healthy.  AT.  ALL.  Stress overrode my focus on healthy eating and, to be honest, I'm just not going to beat myself up about it.  I won't go into the details, but I'd be happy if I never had 2 months like those ever again, in my WHOLE life!  SO.....I'm starting over and my weight is back up to the highest it's been in 2 years (285), but I'm moving past it.  I won't be talking so much about my weight as I will about food, clothing sizes and enjoying life!  My goal is to weigh once a month (was really proud to only get on the scale only once this week instead of every day!  *blush*) and just really focus on healthy eating and living!

Sugar detoxing.....it's a real thing, people!!  I experience horrible headaches for about a week....ugh.  And I do mean HORRIBLE.  Last night they were of migraine proportion.  Not nice.  You'd really think that would be motivation to keep me from going back to partaking of sugar on a daily basis, but no.  This is my 3rd time to quit sugar this year and prayerfully my last!  I won't say that I will refuse a piece of pie at Cracker Barrel on Thanksgiving, but eating sugar on a daily basis......I might as well just rub it on my belly or hips!!  It packs on the pounds in a serious way!

I just started back eating healthy this week.  I had a health issue that I had checked out over the last month and is fine, but it uncovered some indicators that, if I don't get serious about being healthy will make my life very complicated MUCH sooner than they should.  My dr said diet and exercise aren't an option any more, they are a MUST.

I'll start taking pics of food and next week (as long as I have a good internet connection), I'll post some how-to's on eating healthy while eating out!  (The week of Thanksgiving we stay in our camper close to my hubby's work since he works retail and we'd NEVER see him otherwise!  Plus we live 1+ hour away from his job and the shorter commute is a blessing to him during Black Friday weekend!)

Blessings!
