Didn’t get a chance to post this since September hit. I’m glad that at the end of the day I’m basically starting the new academic year where I started the summer weight wise and looking forward to fighting the good fight!

This month has been an absolute rollercoaster in every way imaginable from great to terrible and it’s reflected on the scale.
I learned that binging is a bigger issue in my life that I thought when I’m feel stressed or out of control. I binge on work and food – sometimes together, but not always.
I often “punish” myself – I’ve learned that my workaholism that I’m in recovery for is a way that I “punish” myself for not accomplishing as much as I wanted to in a day (it especially have reared it’s ugly head when my team is understaffed and I try to overcompensate and overfunction to try and make up for being understaffed.
With food when I’m feeling out of control then I really act out and “punish” myself through binge eating. If I feel a little bit broken I tend to “self harm” through workaholism or food until I’m truly shattered.
Over the last year through ACA and therapy I’ve become more away of my workaholism and need to set boundaries. I am only now recognizing this pattern through food. Recognizing there pattern is half the battle, but there is still work to be done. I’m excited as of this week be in my “quiet” season at work, but I plan to continue to do the work I myself because I don’t want another peak season of work or life to happen and derail me.
This joke from @ilizas Confirmed Kills Netflix special made me LOL.
Speaking of losing 5 pounds, I’m back on the @weightwatchers wagon as of this weekend and I’m relieved to see 5.5 pounds of the 6 pounds I gained in a week (thanks insane work season) is gone. So I’m back to my post vacation weight. Now it’s 5 more pounds to get back to my lowest weight which I saw before vacation.

This is a picture of me right now. Seriously.
I want to share the good and the bad here. I’ve put on 10 lbs since 7/27 and almost left Body Combat in the middle of class because I could FEEL those 10 lbs jiggling on my body making everything seem so much harder. I finished out the class and I’m glad I did. Thankfully my busiest season of work officially wraps up on Friday after an especially grueling Sun-Tues this week.
I know I will get back in the groove now that vacation, Birthday, and final push of a busy work season are behind me, but I still feel like a failure. Like I caught a beautiful butterfly that I lost time and time again and swore I wouldn’t let it getaway, but then I did. I know weight loss and fitness is a series of falling down and getting back up. I’m just wallowing in the moment and I thought it was important to share my human imperfection because it’s real.

June-mid July is a peak season at work then I got a brief break from work mayhem and found myself a nice little groove. I loved my little groove, but then vacation followed by my birthday and now in another peak season at work for another week have steered me of course. I look forward to getting back to the low 170s and working on my balance.
I did my end of July weigh in on 7/28 before leaving for vacation. I’m certainly up a few pounds post trip, but after my birthday this weekend I’m excited to get back on track to my lowest adult weight ever and a healthy BMI.
I’m turning 35 tomorrow and I’m in the best shape of my life and taking strides to live my best life daily!

I’m doing monthly measurements a few days early since we leave for vacation tomorrow coupled with the fact I missed my July 1 measurements due to work madness. Really pleased with my progress!

First full week out of peak work season! Over the past 4 weeks I’ve basically gained and lost the same 5 pounds. The goal by the end of the month is to lose another 2.7 lbs which would bring me to 174.6 which is my lowest adult weight ever and what I weighed on June 16 AKA right before my peak work season!

Today’s @weightwatchers weigh in. Excited to resume a normal schedule again and to get back on track. I’m still about 2 lbs from my lowest weight since last month and excited to get back there and to my healthy BMI goal.
Weigh in Wednesday: still bouncing up and down between 179s and 176s, today I’m 179.8 lbs (also aunt flow is in town).
The great news is that I went to Body Pump last night and this morning and knocked out 2 miles each day too on the treadmill. 174s I’m coming back for you to pick up where I left off pre-work season madness.
