So I took a Memorial Day holiday and took a break from the every day stress. What I did was take a break from eating healthy foods. Eating freshly baked donuts for breakfast sounded like a treat but what it did was gut-busting. Yes, I gained weight.

I did try to maintain my walking routine. We took the dogs on several half hour-long (or more) walks by the water each day. But that wasn’t enough to keep off the weight. I should have been able to relax without indulging in the foods that keep me from losing weight but it didn’t happen. Instead of beating myself up because I ate the wrong things, I am getting back on track.

I need to reorder my CustomFit Meals to keep me on track. When I don’t have to think about what I’m eating, I do better. Leave it up to me and I will eat whatever is in my path, especially sweets. It’s back to finding the resolve I lost for a while.

Everyone needs a break now and then. I feel my battery has been recharged, my mind a bit clearer. Getting my eating habits back on track may be easier with prepared, healthy food. Getting my resolve back to working out is a bit harder. Walking is an easy method to exercise but not enough for  me to lose weight. It’s a mental challenge for me all the time.

With the summer months ahead, I want to get this weight off but it’s still the same old thing – I get in the way of myself. I need someone or something to get me past the slump I get into when things don’t move as quickly as I want. I am definitely in that slump. I need to kick-start my weight loss but I don’t have the magic ingredient.

Is there a magic ingredient? Let me know…
