Operation Optimal Health version 2.0

The last few months I have not been focused on my goal weight. I was writhing 10-15 lbs of my goal and lost my mojo. I'm not sure if it was that I was proud of where I was or used other events as excuses. While fostering has been amazing, it has also been frustrating. When rust rated I tend to turn to food. Something I need to work on mentally, and dig down to the chain of poor choices and replace those behaviors. 

So here I am, and yes I've gained a little back. Honestly I don't want to step on the scale for a week, and probably won't. It helps me to not think about a number. Today is refocus day and getting back on track. However, this time I'm slightly modifying my plan. I've really wanted to start running again with the couch-to-5k program so I already have done the first two weeks. While it's not a huge workout, and could probably be ok with the 5&1, I've decided to start back with the 4&2. It's not a lot of extra calories, but it gives me those calories to burn and not worry about exercising too hard. Summer is just around the corner (WOOHOO!), so it's time to get myself swimsuit ready :). We are heading to the beach with my family in June and I'd like to have to go swimsuit shopping for a two-piece! 

I haven't been good at updating here again, but hope to get back on track! 

PS. If you have any ideas for a lean and green lunch that it quick and easy to put together, or you can make ahead of time to reheat let me know! Need to start getting creative so I don't get bored with salads!
