Hiya Ivette!
Been a while, just wanted to stop in and say hi! I'm still catching up on your journal as well as everyone else's. It seems that you're doing great, despite the challenges that you've faced. Awesome!
I do agree with what others have said about not finishing things, that's probably what got all of us in this situation where we went beyond the weight that we all wanted to be at.
I played soccer for 3 years in jr high and 4 years in high school, and loved it. But I can tell you that it's much easier to play when one's in good shape and with a lot of practice. I remember playing soccer 3 years after not playing at all, and I could barely last 15 minutes! (Back then, I played the whole game, with plenty energy left over!)
But, I am very sure that your son will remember your effort, and that in itself is invaluable. It's good that you're enjoying yourself as well.
As for your struggles lately to renew your committment to weight loss, I'm with you 100% there. I took a month's "vacation" myself (maintained the weight though) And I am now returning to my diet. Not as easy as it sounds, though. It's all in the mind.
Best of luck with your newest endeavor! I will stop by again soon!
