One Year Out

Hello All!

I haven't logged into OH since before Christmas. I have been SO stinkin busy living life. We moved, I got a new job, I finished up school, and unfortunately over the last 2 weeks my husband and I have decided to part ways after only being married for a year and a half. Nothing is finalized yet or set in stone yet but we are both just trying to figure the direction we want to move in our lives since we live completely opposite lives now.

As for my weight loss journey, I hit maintenance back around Thanksgiving. I lost a total of 107 which is technically 13 shy of my original goal but I am VERY happy with where I am at. I have got off the wagon as far as the "I will eat perfect every single day of life" goes but I still drink a protein shake EVERY morning before work and eat a high protein/low carb diet .. however, I have allowed a lot of candy back into my life and that would be because I now work for a nursing home and it is EVERYWHERE!!! Every department head in my facility is required to keep a candy bowl in their office... blah! anywhoo... thats a mental thing that I have recognized and I am working on defeating.

How has everyone been!? I have missed you all so!

Good morning and welcome back.

As for sugar.  It calls us everywhere.  And it is especially hard when you are surrounded by it. 

Perhaps you could look upon it as poison, which, we have been told, that sugar is.... White Death.

You have had a lot of upheavals in your life and the last thing we all need is more poison.

Hope all goes well.

congrats on reaching maintenance. hope your new job works out well.

hmm, not sure what to tell you about all that candy except keep your own sugar free stuff or keep nuts or grapes or other ok substitutes. the cinnamon almonds (see my blog page) are what kept me from eating cookies and junk at christmas.    diane
