I have returned

So I have not been off the wagon, just not really doing super. I have been exercising and eating moderately well. I have not been diligent with counting the calories, just estimating. I am going back to that this week because of a couple of reasons. I have noticed that some of my newer clothes are a bit tighter in the abdomen. I have gained back a few pounds--but I know if I just drink my water I will lose a couple of those pounds. I have also been sick the last 2 weeks and today is the first day that I feel better. I had horrible congestion and I was only able to exercise about every other day last week.

My plan is this--keep mostly low calorie days with one moderately higher one and one splurge day. I hope to be able to shed the weight I have gained back and then lose 5 more pounds by the time I go away on June 20th. I will take my measurements before I go away since I do not want to this month. This has been a rough month for some reason. I have not wanted to weigh or measure myself for fear of seeing the backslide.

I know this will take a long time, but I am determined not to backslide completely and be upset with myself. Today will be filled with activity so I am hoping the first 1500 calorie day won't be that hard to get through!
