Back to basics!

Well, I have been looking at everyone's posts & totally commiserating!  I have not been counting calories or even writing down what I eat for 2 months.  Gee, wonder why I haven't lost any more weight?  Back to basics this very minute.  Nothing can be eaten that isn't weighed, measured & counted first! 
The good news for December? My son was able to come home on Holiday block leave from basic training, two glorious weeks of seeing him every day.  He is sure to be sick of my hugs after that!! LOL.  He did go visit his friends but spent the majority of the time with us at home.  I don't think I realized how emotional it would be to see him in that uniform, I thought I would burst with love & pride when I saw him walking through the airport!  He has lost weight from the physical demands of basic but told me the Army feeds them well.  He looked great.  I won't see him again until graduation and after that, who knows?  Whatever the case, he is in God's hands & that is all I need to know.
I am thankful I like to exercise, that probably is what kept me from gaining lots over the Holidays.
Time to take my own advice & be accountable & responsible about weightloss.
Have a great week!

CJ, glad you got to see your soon over Christmas. Hope you do well with doing the basics.

I'm so happy for you!!  I know it was great to see him and see him looking so well.  I know you can dig in and kick up your program a notch.  I'm doing it too!

Thanks for the encouragement, I don't have any problem with exercising when I go to the gym before work but my days off are hard.  It is not feasible to drive 30 miles to the gym and between the snow, ice & now mud, I can't workout outside at home.  Guess I will have to break out the dance dvd's!  It will all work out fine.
