Somewhere in the past month or so I’ve lost my perspective. I think I got a little too obsessed with a matter not fit for this blog. I was no longer keeping up with the important things I should.

March 1 I started a 6 month long promise to always make better decisions when it came to my health. I would eat better whenever possible and exercise much more. Over the past couple of weeks, maybe a month, I’ve lost most of that. I’m still eating better because it’s become a lifestyle for me, but not as well as I should be. The exercising has dropped off as well.

Yesterday I realized it is 2 months to my family reunion, where I’ll see family members I haven’t seen in years. Especially my brother and his wife. It makes me want to work harder. So I decided to stop making excuses for my laziness and get out there and make it happen. In the first 2 months of this thing I lost about 20lbs, in the third month I lost about 5. I am just 20lbs away from my overall goal and have just over 2 months to do it.

So, as if to make it official, I am telling you. I am back on my plan and will not stray between now and September 1st. I’ve (not) enjoyed my past month or so off and it’s time to get back on and do it right. Wish me luck.
