I'm BAAAAACCCCCCK!

After a brief stint of not blogging, then not exercising, then a whole host of other issues, I am back.  Getting sick really threw me off course, more than I can express. I wish it had never happened, but, there's nothing I can really do to remedy it so I'm moving forward.

I have been feeling like ubercrap lately. Sluggish, can't sleep, nauseous, no appetite, etc. It's been kinda weird, as I've been fighting (and failing) the urge to diagnose myself and spend hours on WebMD and other forums figuring it if I'm dying, pregnant, or just basically fucked up. All anxiety and hypochondria aside, I've decided that the best way to combat feeling crappy that I know, is to get back to the basics. 

I've found that I've kinda (not fully, but in the willpower sense) given up on the whole healthy lifestyle thing. I keep everything in mind, and I still count calories, and I would every once in awhile exercise, but the dedication thing fell off. I blame the sickness, which, you know is easy and is partially true, but I think three months in and 30 lbs off is just generally a good time to say..."hey, wow, I've accomplished a lot...let's slack off a bit..." And that bit turns into another bit, then another. I haven't gained weight, I've maintained--well I've fluctuated between 222-218 which is pretty much the weight I was at before I was sick. So that makes me happy.  However, I want to get back to losing weight, eating healthy, and saving money.

So what are the basics? Being accountable with this blog first and foremost by reading and writing my thoughts. Also, exercising at least 35 minutes each day. Lastly, cooking food at home and bringing in my lunches. All those other things like avoiding sugar, drinking massive amounts of water, etc. will come along pretty quickly after but I really need to get the basics down again before I even TRY to accomplish the advanced. So. I exercised this morning. I even ate breakfast beforehand (You should be very proud). And I'm just writing to let you know...but mostly to let myself know, that I haven't given up. I haven't stopped, and I'm not going to be lackluster about this. I'm back.
