Weekly WI: What Does Progress Look Like?

My weight loss journey feels like a constant back and forth battle lately.  This is typical when I have travel and social situations on my calendar.  I feel like I am not making much progress and what progress I made before we left for our Bermuda cruise has gone to the wayside.  It feels so hard to stay motivated.  I would love to see a consistent weight loss trend, even the tiniest bit.  

In order to see consistent weight loss, I need to be CONSISTENT with my tracking.  That is the first step.  I need to identify what I am allowing to stand in my way which I’ve allowed to create this mental hang up.

I am back to work tomorrow for a long stretch after several days off.  It has been really nice having time off and I am feeling the dread to return to work.  I have not been feeling connected for several months now.  

We visited my in-laws to celebrate my mother-in-law’s 80th birthday.

I also took my Aunt Barb and my brother/sister-in-laws to visit the Albuquerque Elks.  As always a great visit with my fellow Elk members.

Before I left town, I bought a bubble maker after seeing a Facebook post from a friend.  Originally in search of the rose, I found this adorable daisy.  I fired it up last night and enjoyed all the kid-like wonder of having automatic bubbles for a little while.  It goes through a lot of bubbles in a short time buy they are cheap so why not.

On our way home from New Mexico we routed through he Vegas airport.  Kenyon won $936 on a bonus game.  It was epic!  Rarely do we come home with a win so this was great.

I attended a 1st birthday party on Saturday along with a wedding which was beautiful.  We were missing the bride’s mother who passed away from liver cancer two years ago.

Last night, I met up with the Boise Beer Buddies Group at Pub & Putt, a new beer/mini golf location in Nampa.  A high school classmate was in town and met for a visit.  It is always so great to see Maria when she comes to town.

I have a potluck dinner and a going away part at the Elks tonight where I than start my 7-day stretch at work.
