I have!
I know I have been on an unknown hiatus for a little while and felt I needed to pop in and say... well just admit it.. admit what? I am a quitter!!
After several Dr's appointments and 7 weeks of two shakes a day I lost 9 pounds and found out I was completely normal and have no real reason why my body did not want to shed weight. I began to wonder why I was running 3x a week and eating a mere 1200-1400 calories a day and not seeing the results I longed for. THEN, school started and the long days came. I have not been consistent with my running and I haven't counted calories since August 22nd- the first day of school. I admit to eating handfuls of candy corn, the occasional medium fry from MacDonalds, and bread- copious amounts of bread.
God help me..
The end result is that I may have maintained my weight within a pound or two but I feel like crap and I am tired. As my fourth graders would write- I am really, really, really, so, so so tired. ( Do not worry I am fixing their writing) So, why am I admitting this to you? I am glad you asked. I have totally hit rock bottom. People, I ate fries! Do you hear me? Fries! I had not eaten them in 2+ years!!!!!!
Anyway, I am back sort of. My life is consumed with teaching right now but I will be checking in as much as I can. I will try to get a handle on my eating issues. I believe admitting there is a problem is the first step. With that aside, I think I can get my fat butt back on track. SO here it goes....
Hi, My name is Heather and I am a food-a-holic. I eat when I am stressed. I eat when I am mad. I eat when I am sad. I eat... to eat.
Whew. Glad that is out and in the open. Tonight, I shall jog!
Thanks for staying around and big props to Pat for sticking with it and making me realize what I walked away from.

Girl, I didn't make you realize anything. Just press on. I wish you'd have jumped on the Primal Blueprint 30-day challenge Facebook group we started back on 9/12. 14 people and we're all seeing results. It's not about two shakes a day. It's about finding the non-processed foods and removing grains from your life. It will change you and cravings for those things goes away. I am making and eating primal bread and pancakes with nut flours that taste as good as the white flours we need to stay away from. Transform your lifestyle. Don't give in to two cans of processed goo and a sensible meal. You deserve better! Your family deserves better!
