The ups and downs of summer

This summer has been a bit bittersweet in terms of this healthy living journey. The first part of the summer went really well. I felt like I was doing well with portions and cutting back on snacks. I set the goal of 150 miles on the elliptical in 5 weeks which I was uber excited to complete!

After Chris's visit home and our blink-of-an-eye vacation - and then Chris's departure - I had a hard time getting back on track. It was a combination of a lot of things - but regardless - I had a hard time getting back into the routine I had.

I have most definitely gained weight - and most definitely lost energy. Though I don't like my clothes being tight - I really don't like how sluggish I feel. Blah.

So this week I have started exercising again and next week I will really focus on my food choices. I'm hoping since I've only been off my routine for a month - my body will snap back. Hehehe...nothing is ever that easy is it! =)
