carry on my wayward daughter...

so the last time i wrote was OCTOBER.... you can guess the effect of my weight loss success.

actually lots has happened since then. i joined a gym in order to provide a place to workout... i found a trainer that has been mostly a blessing but sometimes i must admit i curse at him. through the holidays and birthdays, winter weather and all those other..... reasons--if you will... i've been the definition of fluctuation. emotions~ weight~ motivation~ you name it-=-=- roller coaster it has been

as of late--i had a pretty big break down regarding fitness and nutrition. the balancing act--insanely difficult... here's the thing-- to fully succeed in losing weight there a few components that need to be in a relatively equal balance-- here's my "recipe"

1. fitness--cardio; flexibility; strength
2. nutrition--more fiber; more protein; v. little refined sugar; little fat; hydrate
3. motivating-without-judging- support system (3-4 solid people--if possible)
4. emotional stability--an outlet such as knitting, crocheting, scrap booking, etc.
5. 90-100% desire; 89-99% of the time

this has been in place since december, my biggest struggle--nutrition
