Dear Diary

A lot has changed since I last posted here. Unfortunately, nothing positive in the weight loss direction. In fact, I have gained some more inches around my waist and I’ve been avoiding my scale. I haven’t been working out. I tried to stick with a fruit and vegetable based diet for a few months last…

Partners

I’ve been traveling, so working out has been “difficult”. I worked out with my sister today, part walking, part jogging, part running, did less than 2km and then added a bit of cardio. It felt good to workout, it felt great to workout with my sister. Having a partner/partners makes workout fun.

Leave

My annual leave started today. By September it would be a year since I started this, I wish I could have achieved more than I have so far. I still have a long way to go to achieve my ultimate goal so I’d keep trying no matter how many missteps or disappointments I have along…

Confession

I have failed in sustaining the tempo with which I started this journey, and I’m falling back to my old ways, drinking more soda and less water, eating junk and not being as active as I need to be. I have felt guilt. I have felt disappointed in myself. Luckily, I haven’t gained back any…
