IM BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!

Hello my fellow Buddy Slimers I have been away for a year and a half I had a beautiful baby girl and she is a wonderful addition to my family. She made my family complete. Also I lost a woman that was also my best friend and Aunt to cancer I have been through alot. So along with having a second child came on he pounds. Every bit of weight I lost post pregnancy I gained back not during pregnancy but after pregnacny isnt that weird?? I did excellent while I was pregnant but once she came home everything was fast speed and I was so focused on being a mommy of two beautiful kids as a wonderful wife and along the way I lost control of what was important. My health it’s hard Im a stay at home mom as well as a new business owner so I have alot on my plate, but I have to stop and take control. So I am going to do this I know I can Im just going to get back dedicated the way I was before. So Buddy slimmers watch my shrink.

I HAVE A CONFESSION

Hello all i wanted to write a blog before work and make a confession about myself. Ok as many of you may know I am a weight watchers member as well as a YMCA member and for the past 3 weeks I have totally neglected them both. There I said it im glad Im no longer in denial and I have accepted it for what is is. Ok it all began the weekend before my vacation I had a great weigh in at my weight watchers meeting which I love to attend every Saturday morning. And the week following I was on vacation from work I wasn’t out of the state or anything I was home eating I didnt once go to the gym I had in the back of my mind Oh Im ok this is my vacation and I can chill this week no biggie. So lo and behold money issues hit hard to home so I wasnt able to attend that weeks weight watchers meeting, of course I brushed it off and said ok Monday work is starting and I will be back on track with my eating and exercising. HA HA monday came and I went in the other direction. I will admit I didnt make it to the gym either that week but i did mange to get in a little indoor walk off the pounds with my girl Leslie Sansone Dvd. and I only would work out for like 15 minutes or so.  That was the week that i feel slack of my logging of food, my water intake, activity and I withdrew from friends and family. Eveything sort of made me irritable I even deleted my page here on buddy slim the week before becasue I felt like everyone was out to get me. I would take peoples comments to my blogs a little offensive and would blow up and I finally said forget this site. Now i realize it wasnt anybody said or did I was just dissapointed in myself that I couldnt do the simple task of waking every morning to go workout and hearing everyone else victories were a bit intimidating. And i regret deleting my page so that is why I am back reason you say? well I will rather hear an ugly truth that a beautiful lie anyday. But anyway week three was last week and Im unsure if you guys heard of the major gas crisis here in NC well there was a bad shortage thanks god it is finally coming in slowly but I was totally out of gas I mean I called out three days because I couldnt go anywhere car was empty, so of course no gym, no grocery store, no health food, and no wright watchers weigh- in but of course there was plenty of delivery options as well as my son and my fiance food here. I told myself well if I eat it in moderation I wont gain right??? WRONG   I got on the home scale in which I never trust anyway and it didnt show a gain but it did show a 2 pound loss so I was like whoo hoo I can pig out and work it off. Man huge mistake so I fianally smacked myself and said Melinda what are you doing? so I sent emails of my before and after pics to my friends and family and I got so much positive feed back and was like I cannot go back looking that way I just can’t and I wont. Im going through so much right now more finacially than anything else right now but I said if I didnt find a way to pay for the things I needed I will surely pay for it later from if i decide not to be haelthier now. But anyway I broke down went to a weight watchers meeting and purchased my monthly pass and went to the store and purchased all my foods. I also had to weigh in and you guys it showed I gained 4 pounds that means each week I didnt attend meetings I gained a pound and a quarter which sucks. But Im commited again I promise I know this wont be easy and Im not making it out to be but I have to lose this weight and stay commited. Im commited to everything and everybody else why not be commited to my weight loss? So there is is I confessed to a huge slip up I feel somewhat better Im just glad I didnt let it get to out of hand. You guys help me out alot and you dont even realize it. Thanks for taking time out to read my blog.
