Here we go...2nd round of the 60 Day Challenge



This is my first week of my 60 day challenge. No....I am no stranger to this journey. In the summer I started and completed the first time I did the challenge. I was amazed at the results. I felt stronger, healthier and was looking great. I had lost 19 lbs so going back to work I was feeling invincible. 

Well unfortunately, little by little I was falling back into those bad habits. It became so difficult to balance work and the ability to eat healthier. Working as a school counselor at a high school definitely has its ups and downs and although I love what I do....there are really high expectations of me from parents, students, colleagues, and the school system. I got so busy that I stopped having my snacks in between breakfast and lunch, eventually would have days where my breakfast was just a cup of coffee. Now I know I probably should have prepared and planned my meals in advanced but that has always been my downfall. 

Here I am now....over 4 months since I had those amazing results the first I time did my 60 day journey. I have NOT gained all the weight back which I am happy with but I also KNOW that I def. DID gain some back. I REFUSE to go back to where I started. Now is the time for me to get it right. I may have Fallen but I am not defeated....I will move forward. I will learn from my past, my mistakes and in the end....I WILL achieve my goals.

This 2nd time around will def. be a much bigger challenge for me. I thought I had it tough the first half of the school year....yea right...its the 2nd half that is even more difficult and super busy. If I can get through this journey successfully and incorporate all I will learn into my life I will be one happy person :)
