So, I've still kept up with eating right every day and dealing with my normal life and everything that goes with that. This weekend I have the MPRE which is the ethics exam for lawyers ("Ethics?! For lawyers?!"). I'm slowing chipping away at this process of getting licensed so I can actually, you know, practice law. We'll see whenever that all starts to happen!
Meanwhile, staying on plan has been pretty easy lately. I've cut back on my chocolate and really tried to focus on keeping track of what I'm eating. Good news-- it's working! I've lost weight again which is great!
Hubs and I have been on the BFC since June last year, so it's been 8.5 months so far. It's been a slow process (especially for me), but we have definitely changed how we eat, how we view food and how we think about taking care of our bodies. I think that's a pretty big deal! :)

Oh dear, it has been a long time
Yes, it has been a long time! Never fear, faithful readers-- I have stuck with the plan. The sad news is, though, that I haven't lost in all this time. I'm up a little bit, but not so much I can't come back.
Christmas went well, New Year's was fine, Hubs's birthday was fine... In short, we did not stray too far from the plan these last couple months. But, we weren't perfect either. Slowly, over time, I realized I was probably eating 2 carbs too many each day. And not caring about what kind of nutrition I was getting besides. My body was not happy about that.
Hubs and I are now both just barely getting over a series of flus/colds that it seems everyone on creation has had to deal with this winter. But the good news is we're getting better and we're keeping each other motivated and on track!
This last week, I've lost 1.2 lbs again by getting back to basics (much like I read Dawn was doing over at Dawn's Daily Chocolate! You've inspired me yet again!). My big focus is making sure I am counting everything right. When we first started, we didn't estimate anything-- we counted. And if we didn't know the count, we didn't eat it. That's where I am again. Cafeteria sandwiches maybe "about 2 carbs" but I'm not sure, so I won't eat it anymore.
Also-- and this is pretty big for me-- I've started yoga in the mornings! Very easy, not-too-intimidating yoga, but it's something. And you know what? It's AWESOME! My day is much more relaxed when I do and my body just feels better. It's great!
Hubs has now lost over 50lbs, but the really surprising news is that Mom-In-Law beat him to the 50lb mark! We're so proud of her and she seems like she's really enjoying the success. Yay for her!
Anyway, part of my back-to-basics is that I must blog again. It helped so much to keep me accountable. Like I said, I didn't feel like I went crazy (I didn't down a tub of ice cream or anything!), but it was a consistent slipping that really got me off track little by little. Blogging keeps me focused.
Thanks for reading!
