Quick Update

Hey guys! January has been a pretty busy this month for me with work among other things so just wanted to give you all a quick update. Even though I honestly did not lose any weight during this past holiday season, I was able to maintain my weight loss.  I also have lost 2 pounds since the start of this new year so currently I am down a total of 8 pounds from when I first started trying to lose weight again. I know the weight is not coming off as quickly as I would like it too but I'm trying not to get discouraged because any weight loss is better than not losing weight at all. I am also hopeful that as I start to lose a few more pounds, I'll end up seeing the results better in how I look and feel. My biggest obstacles this month, which I feel are going to be the biggest ones during the rest of the year, are trying to limit the eating out (and cooking more at home) and finding more time to exercise during the week (especially with my first 5K coming up in a few months!). I feel that once I am able to establish a good routine/system with each of these problem areas, then I can better make them a part of my lifestyle and weight loss will be a less difficult journey. Hope all of you who are trying to lose weight, whether as a part of your new year's resolution or in general, are doing well in your efforts. Good luck!
