Weekly WI: Year End Review

Well…Hello there 2025.  You snuck up on me.

 


Booking a cruise vacation that took up half the month really made December fly by.  I owe you more Norway recaps and then I’ll recap our Western Caribbean cruise.  So much to catch up on.

I have been reflecting on the past while still looking forward.  You can’t do anything to change what happens but being aware only adds fuel to the fire.  Just like the new year may have snuck up on me…so has 25 pounds.

I wish I could pinpoint one thing that contributed to my gain.  If I could, then I’d just stop doing it.  I find that I swing between “on track” and “you only live once.” 

 

In 2024, I gained 15 pounds.

 


In 2023, I gained 10 pounds.

 


I am feeling every pound of my 25-pound gain.  Not only in my clothes but also in my movement.  It is not easy to start again.  One of our members shared this in our Facebook page.

 


It has been a couple years since I’ve experienced re-gain of this caliber.  I know if I don’t get a handle on it NOW, it will only continue to spiral out of control.

The silver lining is that to take of 25 pounds this year, the average loss is 2 pounds a month.  That feels 100% doable!
