Wow - I have been MIA for a LOOOOOOONG time!

I just realized today as I received a comment via email that I have neglected this blog for way too long.  I'll give you a quick overview today and then this week I'll start blogging in earnest again.

I got down to about 190 and then I started gaining again.  :(  We ended up selling our house, moving and pretty much starting over during the holidays of 2012.  Add those factors together and it equals serious weight loss.  Plus we moved to a place that is a winter wonderland.  I love it but not exactly conducive to outside exercise when there is 4 feet of snow on the ground and it is -20 F.  By the time I got up the courage to weigh myself again (and the drive to restart this journey) I was back up to 210 lbs.  I had received three different boxes of other people's "fat clothes" that they had gotten too skinny to wear.  And I had received them within two weeks time.  If that wasn't a hint, I don't know what was. 

So I started again.  With the help of my amazing sister, Steph, I started exercising.  I started re-focusing on my eating.  It hasn't been easy.  It has actually been harder to drop the weight this time around. 

As of last week, I weighed 190.  I've lost 20 lbs in 29 weeks.  Not quite my goal of 1 lb/ week.  But there have been lots and lots of victories and lots and lots of learning experiences.  I can't wait to share them with you over the next little while! 

I will also start adding some newer recipes to the healthy recipe blog. I may even include a few pics this time around.  I'm starting to figure out this technology stuff.  I still don't have darling garnishes and matching dishes - you'll just have to see the pics of food instead. 

I'm so excited to re-discover this blog and talk about this journey again!

Loves to you all!
