Helloooo world

I miss blogging. However, I did most of it while I was at work. Unfortunately, I don't have access to blogger at work anymore. When I get home I veg out.

I miss you all!!!

How are you?

I hope everyone is well.

Me...I'm still in Minnesota. I still don't like it. But I know that God has a plan that even I can't see yet. I thought I would be leaving soon...but the jobs I applied for did not pan out. So it looks like I'm going to be here for a little while longer. I can handle it...I can handle anything.  I'm learning that lesson daily.

So this is a weight loss blog right. Ummm....I haven't lost any weight. I maintain between 165 -173. I was exercising on a regular basis. I haven't worked out since the end of July. Shameful, I know. I also have become addicted to sugar again. The Halloween candy is not a good thing either. I have been baking cakes and cookies and taking them to work for my co-workers. But, I work there too...which means I eat them as well. LOL

I hope everyone is still reaching and striving to make better choices. I would like to remind you all. This is a journey. It NEVER ENDS!!  You have to continue to work at being the best you that you can be.

So kick ass and take names! Love the body you are in...no matter the size. It is a very important part of the journey.

Living

That's what I've been doing. My weight is not a big deal. It's just a part of me. Maintenance is boring. I still step on the scale twice a week...just for accountability. I don't count calories...even though I should. It's been 3.5 years since I was banded and 1 year and 4 months since I had my band removed and revised to the gastric sleeve.

I reached my goal weight of 185 in September 2013. Then I revised my goal weight to 175. I'm not sure when I reached it...but I'm now 169. I have not been trying to lose weight. It just happens. I hope to stay at this weight or a little higher...no lower.

I'm still me...except sometime my mind doesn't get it. I steal have an Ashley Stewart and Lane Bryant account. LOL

I posted these pictures on the book of face and gram insta last night. Not because I want to be praised...but because I often need a visual reminder. Especially when I'm wanting to call insomniac cookies and have them deliver a dozen snicker doodles to my door.

Never give up!
