Sorry I haven't written in a while. I have been struggling with personal stuff and feel like I have wandered off my path a little. But I am back!
As many of you know my family is going to be making a cross country move in a couple of months. This presents a bunch of problems in different aspects of our lives. I am concerned about my oldest, her school work, her medication (I blogged about it on my family site here). I worry about incomes, housing, and setting up house all over again, diets and weight gain. This has put a damper on my happy scale and who wants to read about me complaining? I don't even want to write about that, lol.
One aspect of the move that is rather worrisome is how it will affect my plan (TSFL that is) and my hubbies plan. He is so close to his goal, I'm sure he will hit it in the next week or two and then he will start to transition right away. That would put him on the tail end of transition, if everything goes according to plan, right when we move.
Now we all know that the best set plans always go out the window when on a move or vacation. This will be both. Since its going to take us over a week to drive to our next home, we are going to try to take a slower approach and stop to see national monuments and the biggest ball of yarn, those kinds of things. He is nervous about gaining his weight back and I cant blame him. He worked hard to get where he is now. But unfortunately we cant afford to have us both on plan after we move.
That brings me to my plan, well I am about 6 pounds from my goal. But I continue to hit plateau after plateau. I should have, if things ran smoothly, reached my goal a few weeks ago. I hope to reach my goal within the next month. But as I haven't "cheated" since I started this journey I'm not sure if that will happen that quickly. I am ok, if we get closer to the move, and I haven't reached my goal. If I stay at this weight for the rest of my life and lead a happy, healthy and active lifestyle I will feel this was well worth doing. Of course, I would love to see that magic number on the scale, who wouldn't? But its not the end of the world for me if I don't. So, that being said I have to make a cut off date so I can start transitioning before we move. I am really worried I will gain all my weight back while we move, then cant afford to go back on plan and will just be fat again, sigh...
I am hopeful it will all work out in the end. I trust that God will walk in front of us and get us safely to our next home, he will get us an income, and he will slap my hand when I reach for that cookie while on the road so I don't gain back what I have worked so hard to loose. :0)
Want to leave you with a picture I just love! It is of a couple of tree's outside my daughters school last week. So pretty!! Happy Spring Everyone!
