Thanks ladies! I guess I just feel like I could have done so much more in the past few months. In November I lost someone very dear to me, and according to my husband I seemed to have lost my focus then.
Cutting out that top really made me feel bad. Today I created a pattern to do some sewing for an ill relative, and realized even though she is nearly half my size, the fabric all layed out still looks huge... WHEW!
As far as diet. I was doing better. I do write everything down, be it 1000 calories over my limit, or within, I write it down. I just started guzzling more water, now that it's getting hot out again. My husband recently decided to cut back on soda, and switch to diet soda for what he did drink, so now there is competition for my case of soda lol. We don't buy any prepackaged meals, I make everything from scratch which we thought was healthy, but we discovered one of our favorite meals had nearly 800 calories per serving, the way I prepared it... that was an eye opener.
My hubby is gone alot. He's a Marine, and flight crew on a cargo/refueler plane, so I'm usually just home with my 3 yr old. I have tons of support from family, but I just don't know what to change up to make me feel like I'm doing all I can do to get back to my old healthy self....
(grapecoffee, I'd be happy to Im with ya! I could talk fabric or sewing for days without coming up for air
