Against The Odds

Hello friends!

How are you all? Sorry about not posting for two weeks. I have been very busy. I have not lost any additional weight yet neither have I gained any.

I have not been recording my calories for the past two weeks which is causing me to not be on top of my calorie restrictions. I am still eating well, but perhaps just too many calories to actually drop weight the way I want to.

In good news, I started running two weeks ago and will commence my third week of running this week. I continue to weight lift at the gym three days a week.

So, in order to get the weight loss to resume, I need to focus on writing my calories down again. Another struggle I have is with my caffeine intake which affects my hydration levels. And being dehydrated reduces the rate of weight loss. But it's a tough balance for me right now because I am homeschooling four children along with also just taking care of three other children, one being six months old. So, I don't get enough sleep because of the work load. So, then I drink caffeine which affects my ultimate weight loss.

It's a circle that I'm determined to extricate myself from...somehow. Ha!

So, bear with me as I try to lose weight against odds that I feel are stacked against me.

I will try to post again on either this Sunday or shortly thereafter.

Sincerely,

Sunshine Mama
