Wow...100 days since I started my little blog journey! The true weight loss journey didn't begin for another few weeks after that, so I haven't been on the healthy-eating regimen for 100 days yet. Only 63 days on that part of it so far. But the goal and the sharing started 100 days ago.

Unfortunately, I had another zero-week this week. Not sure what's up...but last night a couple hours before bed, I started feeling sick...stomach hurt and head hurt. And I've still been battling a head ache most of the day today. So maybe it's the body retaining fluids to fight off an illness? I really am just BS'ing myself, as I have no idea....but it sounds good.

The most frustrating thing about the lack of progress is just the feeling of time lost. It's like, "Dang it! Now I have to wait a whole 'nother week to try again!" Which isn't really true...because every single day is a step in the right direction toward my goals. But I do have to wait a week to check my measurable progress again. And I hate losing a week of weight loss. I'm gonna work extra hard this week and see if I can't make up for some lost time. AND break through what may be a very hard plateau if I'm not seriously determined.

Over the last couple of years, I'd lost about 25 pounds...and then hit a very hard plateau that I could not get past. Then we had this crazy-psycho move to Colorado over the summer...and I gained back ALL that weight I'd lost. So now...over the last nine weeks, I've lost it all again...and am once more at that block that I was fighting against last spring. I've GOT to break through that this week. I WILL. I will up the vegetable consumption and decrease the wheat. And I will hit the stairs or the roads (depending on weather). I'm making that commitment here in public in front of all you guys. I will break that invisible barrier and I will make up for some lost time!!!

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
- Pilippians 4:6,7

I'll be sure to check in more often this coming week, and let you guys know how it's going.

Much love!
