Lights, Camera, Action... Take Two

So, it has been nearly two months since I have posted on here and there has been a lot that has happened while I have been gone.  There have been some very exicting and fun things and some disappointing things that have been holding me back and causing me some stress.

Highs

1. We bought our house and have moved in.  We are officially homeowner's and we are loving it!
2. We have been spending a lot more time with friends now that we live closer and it makes me so much happier.
3  Both Ron and I now have a commute time of less than 20 minutes (His used to be 1 hour and mine was 45 minutes).

Lows

1. I haven't been to the gym in almost a month. 
2. I have been eating out too often and choosing poorly.
3. I feel like I don't know how I got back to this place.  How I let myself go so far off track that I am embaressed to even show my face on this blog.

I have spent the better part of the last month trying to figure out why I am not posting and why I don't feel like posting anymore.  I tried to convice myself that it was not because I wasn't eating that well and working out.  I must just not like it anymore or something.  I must be bored with it.  Well it is false.  I missed the blog, I missed all of you.  I miss the support and the accountability.  For me this journey is starting again.  I didn't gain all the weight back, so that is a plus, but I have a long way to go to get to my goal.  I just wanted to let you know that I am back.  I don't blame any of you if you don't quite believe me yet and if you want to see some action on my behalf before you come back on board.  I am here.  I am in a healthy mindframe.  I am going to do this and I hope you are here for the ride.

I have the tools and the support and now I just need the action. 

1. Weekly weigh-ins in front of a health professional.
2. A personal trainer.
3. My fiance who is going to change his eating habits (he wants to lose 30 pounds) and who has made a training plan that we can do together.
4. A fridge and pantry full of good choices.
5. Wedding gowns taped up around the house (and even in my car to serve as a reminder).
6. I have signed up for two 5k's. 
7. The drive, will and desire in my heart to kick this overweight, chubby, fat body to the curb for good!
