So I came back from vacation 10 pounds lighter and thought I would set a pretty good goal for my weight loss this year. You know, that was just setting myself up for disaster. The second I did so I craved more sweets, was less active and ate way more. Part of that was the return of my taste buds at the exact time of month I crave sweets....ouch. But a lot of it was when I set these big goals and think about how I am going to work hard and lose weight, I want that crappy stuff more. I should know that doesn't work for me.
So I am going back to my goal that has helped me lose the last 50 pounds. Instead of my goal that I had to get to my goal weight by the end of the year my new goal is to become more active than I am now. I want to spend the spring and summer hiking, camping, rafting, and doing all the fun things I want to do every year....especially since Mike now has weekends off. That is my new goal. To become even more active, to enjoy life and to not focus on getting to the goal weight. Since I made this my goal earlier this week, the cravings have gone away, I have been looking forward to all the cheap and active things we can do this summer and looking forward to just having fun.
So if anyone has some fun active-ities that I can try for Saturdays in the valley, let me know. (Preferably cost free) I really want to have something to do nearly every weekend this spring and summer.

Seriously.... i am the same way! We are loving our wii fit. I am not an outdoorsy person in the winter/cold weather. We walk our dogs... lol
Warmer weather makes me happy. I like to look up day hikes in the foothills or up towards horseshoe bend or even idaho city. Those are always fun. The greenbelt is my friend. I love swimming or going rafting.
Amen I just say I want to lose pounds and I gain the weight. It also depresses me to think I have to lose weight. I think you hit it on the nail1!!! You go girl. Let's get ACTIVE!!!
