So back to following my diet very closely the vacation is over.

I was a little afraid that the slight vacation and a little Easter candy would make it hard to get back on track. Not really though. I think it was balanced out by two things, 1. a shopping trip during which I took 22 items in the dressing room and only one fit right. (and all these items were XL I HATE THAT ! I will not be XL for the rest of my life, I WON’T !! )  And even more importantly…  2. Seeing my sister. She has been dieting and faithfully working out  (with a much busier and schedule and waaaayy more temptation than I have) and has lost 30 pounds !!! She looks amazing and I am so inspired to keep going ! Her progress is incredible.

Hmmmm… a tip for today, what do I have to share ???  I guess right now I would recommend a diet and or workout buddy. Just watching my sister’s progress from afar has inspired me and knowing my dietician sister is supposed to be reading this also helps.  I know that having someone you’re accountable to can be a great motivator. I have heard of friends having a contest but I don’t think that would help me personally. I just need someone to encourage me and to chastise me when I want to fall off the wagon. LOL :o)  A workout buddy is great too ! It can get you to the gym even on days when you don’t feel like it  cause no one can resist some girl time. Just make sure you do your gossiping and TV show talk while sweatin on the treadmill. And that’s todays  tip.

Nothing really to say here today cause I pretty much shared it all in my opening paragraph…
