Ah Mexico...

Well, my hubby and I had a great time in Mexico.  So nice to get away as a couple and enjoy each other.  There doesn't seem to be enough time to do that as a rule.  We were celebrating our anniversary with this trip.  Good in so many ways, but sadly not for eating habits. 

We went to an all-inclusive resort and I have to say I'm thankful that there weren't very many good desserts!  For the most part I did pretty good with my choices, but when I went for veggies they were always cooked with oil instead of steamed.  And I had some ice cream which I was doing so good without.  And fresh chips and salsa,and of course Mexicans know how to make great guacamole!  So really it was more about portion control if I'm being honest...

Bottom line, it didn't take long to put back on a couple of pounds I'd worked so hard for.  But the real damage was done a few days before and 2-3 weeks after the trip!  I felt like I lost my momentum and was out of my good habits.  I was feeling fat again (yes, don't laugh!), and disappointed in myself for that and in a little bit of a funk. 

The good news is I'm a health and fitness coach, so instead of spiraling for a long time, I'm part of a network of fellow coaches that put me back on track pretty quickly.  Thank you!!  I also support others in their weight loss journey and being a hypocrite doesn't sit well with me, so I had to jump back on board.  It didn't happen overnight, but now I'm in a good place again and ready to move forward.  That's how life goes right?  Two steps forward, one step back sometimes.  So today, Labor Day and September 1, I recommit.  I started Day 1, Week 1 of T25 again.  I will redo before pictures and this time I go 10 weeks straight.  Sorry if you were hanging on with baited breathe for my Beta phase posts.  Now they will be legit and twice a week instead of daily so I can allow myself success in that area too.  So come on my journey (again!).  Life keeps going and so will I!  If you'd like to talk about your own fitness program, or get T25 with bonus dvds and a support group just contact me at jenngibbs@fitfeelsgood.com   See you soon!
