starting over...again.

I started a way of life that consisted of no dairy, no sugar and no coffee.  I maintained it for 9 months...then I met a great guy, started eating out, enjoying coffee on leisurely Saturday mornings and before I knew it, had gained 30 pounds.  Now, he HATES when I say it is his fault...I am pretty sure he wasn't force feeding me french fries and ice cream the past 18 months.

Let's see what the common causes of weight gain are:

• stress
• new job
• stress
• kids
• stress
• new relationship
• stress
• not working out
• stress

You get the point.  NO more excuses.  I am on day 2 of an emotional and physical cleanse - detoxing the bad (no coffee day 2, no sugar, no dairy). I want to be free or emotional eating and damaging my body with food.

I wake up everyday and put on gym clothes - I would love to go back to the gym eventually!

I would like to sign up for some classes too.  Any recommendations? Yoga, kickboxing and weight lifting are on my list.  I restarted blogging today to hold myself accountable and to recount how I am feeling so I can look forward to reading and understanding more about how I am feeling and when I am feeling it - those emotional triggers.  Looking forward to learning more.
