Ready for HBBC 2012


I am  excited for the start of  The Holiday Bootie Buster Challenge.  Next Monday Game on.

I  had a rough summer and fall . My mind and heart have not been in the weight loss and  exercise mode.  It is so hard to keep trucking along. I gave myself a few weeks off no tracking, no competing, no off limits foods, and no treadmill.  

It was a relief just to live and really that is what this whole  journey is about.  

Yes I did still consciously eat and even over ate some.  Yes I took a few walks and did some exercise.  I  did  wear my FITBIT everyday but 1 and I did weigh in weekly to see where I was at.   I am up a few pounds.  I  am not happy about it but I am happy that I  gave my mind the time it needed.  

There have been some work, family, and life things that needed more attention.  I am glad that I  navigated through that without a big crash and I know that I am better for all that this last 17 months have taught my.

I am glad that I stepped back and evaluated what  I want the next few months to look like.   I want to  really focus on  taking off another chunk of weight.  I am thinking another 50 by  May 1.

I know that no challenge or  boot camp will be the total answer but the community feel and  account ablity are something that I do like.    I am back and ready to get some miles and minutes  in over the holidays.

I am in round 3 of the Best Body Boot Camp and struggling.  I was not able to excersise for several day so I am behind and out of sync with the crowd but not giving up. I knew that in was going to be tough and I am getting my goals in and a couple of  light workouts in but now I am good to  go weeks 4-8 are mine.   I do love that this is such a well run  and supported  program so I am looking forward to round 4 already.
