Reflecting back my summer was filled with lots of learning. There is nothing wrong with it, but I think I took over 8 semester units of coursework, which is more than I have ever taken in 8 weeks! It was more stressful than summers past and because of all the stress at the end I have gained back 6 pounds. It makes me want to cry, but I will not. I will move forward and focus on that.
To make myself motivated I cleaned out my closet last night and put out any clothes that were too big for me. I am still a size 10 and I plan to stay there. I have to reset my goals, plan and carry out my plan. I just have been so tired and I have been sleeping in trying to catch up on the sleep I did not get this summer. With school starting for me it brings routine which I desperately need right now. It will be tough, but better for me to stay on track.
I am back at the daily renewal to the committment of my goals. I have to do this for myself. I need to get back to sleeping more, moving more and eating well. I need to work smarter and remind myself that these small setbacks are just that, right? It is such a struggle to stay in balance and to stay on track with all that I do it is so hard to track my food, water and exercise, but I know writing everything down works for me. It brings that level of awareness up for me so that I don't go for that second helping or accept that bottle of beer or take more than two bites of that dessert.
So do what you must to make it happen for you-
KEEP IT UP!
YOU CAN DO IT!
NEVER GIVE UP!
Always on the move- MER

I finally had time to get to your bog and I love it!
40 pounds is a lot! And a size 10 is fabulous. I have a closet fill of size 10's I can't even begin to squeeze into.
You were at the U of A Fairbanks this summer, and that's my Alma mater. Class of '82. Imagine walking to classes when it's 50 degrees below zero. Classes were never cxld. :)
Six pounds isn't much and you'll lose it fast now that you're home and on a regular routine.
Just added you to mt blogroll to.
Hey Mer - you will do it!! Recommittment is good and I will support you all the way! Summer can be fun, hectic and well, getting back to the routine can be a welcome break. Enjoy your first day back with the students!! Let's keep doing this together!!!
