a new balance :)

hiya everyone! :)



yep, its meeee, im baaaack, after months of not writing again—even after i said i’d be writing all the time! you know how it goes. life just gets all crazy on us and we re-prioritize. i had a great summer—hopefully you did, too! =D



welp, guess what? i’m back in the blogging-about-my-weight-loss mood :D



of course after a super inconsistent exercise and food summer, i lost a few pounds but it came back. im still hovering around 216-218ish. so well at the end of july we got a puppy (golden retriever!) and i swore i’d lose weight by walking the dog!!



well, we dont have central air in our house and when it got really hot in august i didnt want to do ANYTHING…let alone walk the pup. so that plan went down the tubes.



then around the middle of august i decided to join Curves again. (i did it a few years ago…went for about 2-3 months and quit…) i figured hey! i need to meet some other people in town, and this is a good way to do it! so the first month on Curves i lost 5lb. WOOT!



i think i a few of those pounds were gained back, tho…but i am really feeling a motivational energy spurt for the fall. im hoping to gain some ground!



so, im still going to Curves 3xs a week, and DH and i are trying to walk the dog most every day. this is good! :)



THEN, in my attempt to somehow gather up some motivation for myself, i started a yahoo group!! actually i should say it’s just for myself…cause i LOVE to motivate other people! the name of the group—the Silly Survivors—is actually not original.



several years ago when i used eDiets, i was on a chat board support forum there. our team was called the Silly Survivors and they were THE BEST! the name was just so great, and it attracted just the right kinda people, ya know? people with a great sense of humor and who wanted to all help each other out! the name “Survivors” prolly makes you think of the TV show…but think more of we’re survivors cause we’re still hangin in there! we’re persevering!! :):)



so anyhoo, if you’re reading this and you need some encouragement and want to help others stick with their plans for getting healthier, i hope you stop in and check us out. i’m really excited about it and so far we have a GREAT buncha people!



okee, that’s all for today…and hopefully if any of my current group members are reading this, they will see that i am sparing them LOTS of blabbling on the group chat! HAHAH!!!



have a good one!
