I Am Still Here!

Well, it has been a very long time since I added anything to my blog.  There is no tragic reason or inspiring story behind it other than I just felt like I had run out of things to say.  Life just rolled on by day after day and it seemed that there was really nothing new going on.  I had a lovely holiday

season, which included lots of yummy food and lack of consistent workouts.  It's the same old story.  I also lost my old Facebook account and had to start from scratch which left me feeling oddly disconnected for some reason.  All of my challengers and friends who told me what an inspiration my posts were had vanished from my life for a time.  It has been crazy trying to find everyone again, but I have kept at it.  After January 1st hit, it has been time to get serious and back into the routine.  So, here I am,  now 7 weeks into 2015 and I finally feel like I am there!  I can't tell you why it has been so rough.  I thought I was tired of the 21 Day Fix, so I tried a few other programs, but really couldn't
get into it.  All that being said, I have decide that Autumn and the 21 Day Fix have my heart!  I am back at it and feeling wonderful.  It has variety each day and challenges me, yet I am done in 30 minutes....Hallelujah!!!  I have even gotten my hubby to join me and now he even does it without me.  Awesome-sauce!  Needless to say, we are feeling fit and loving it.  Our kiddos are wanting

to workout and often challenge the little momma to fitness tests...which I can still win every now and then, by the way.  Although I have had some trying times and not felt the best lately, my advice to anyone and everyone is to keep it up.  I have forced myself through on those down days and even though it didn't solve my issues, it released my happy feelings for awhile.  The point is, keep going.  Don't give up and don't let your head talk you out of a good workout and into horrible food choices day after day.  There is nothing worse than thinking you feel bad and skipping here and cheating there and then one day putting on your favorite jeans and realizing they are now tight or worse, don't fit you again.  DON'T DO IT!  I beg you!  It's not worth the sadness you will feel after all the work, to go backwards.  It will get better and you will find your motivation again...just stick to it.  I have tried new things and new recipes and feel like I am on the down hill slope from a couple months of climbing uphill.  Life is good, God is better!  I will be setting up a Spring in Fitness Challenge starting in March if anyone would like to join me, I would love to have you!
