Totally off track! Still Trekking though

Since I have been on vacation for the past couple of days, I haven't been totally on track for my fitness and weightloss goals. I am going to hit it hard on Monday, July 27. Las Vegas has been fun, but very draining on the mental state. Chasing after two kids has been exhausting. Fun and worth it though. Have a great rest of the week! Monica

Just wanted to let you know of a website I found that has great potential! Perhaps it will help in the nutrition department of your weight loss success.

Monica's Quest- Day ?

I kinda lost track of the days as we disconnected our internet to move across town. Now that I have regained my internet access, I will continue to write about my daily struggles to lose weight. I am still participating in my early morning fitness class and trying to eat right, but these things are just the tip of what I need to change in my life in order to see some real physical changes. Those include, but not limited too, are: how to relieve stress when I get it. I have had some hard stress lately and I know that this affects my body chemistry. I have found out that I am terrible at getting my body back to homeostasis (overall, internal balance of my body). I get really lazy and I eat emotionally. This doesn't help me at all in my quest to lose weight. The next thing is to add more physical activities to my day. What I mean is this: I work out hard for about an hour every morning, but the rest of the day is spent undoing what I just accomplished. I put my eliptical machine in my room, so this will help too! The last thing that I need to incorporate into this quest is a strength training program. I am thinking maybe 2-3 days a week to focus only on lifting weights. If I had more time and a husband that didn't leave every morning at 4:45, I would like to start running as well, but I am not brave enough to do it in the middle of the day where everyone can see my jiggles (ha ha)! Just know that I am still just as focused as losing the weight as I did when I started writing on this blog! Monica
