Has it really been more than a month??

I can't believe it's been this long since I've blogged, I feel like it was yesterday.. Things have been so busy lately I've been a bad girl in so many ways. First things first: I have maintained my weight, maybe gained 1-2-3lbs, nothing more. I guess in a way that's fine, since it's been a constant battle between doing all my schoolwork and moving my ass.. It's hard! So that leads me to the second part of being bad - I haven't exercised nearly as much as I would want to, but still not less than 3x a week.

So I guess I've been bad, but not horrible. And since I'm writing this, I'm obviously trying to get back into the swing of things again! I think I underestimated how much accountability comes with blogging. I want to keep going! I have lost 40lbs, but I need to lose more!!

Here are snapshots from my "get-back-into-it-hikes" yesterday and today. I need to be better, because I really, realllllly need to keep going!

Autumn colous!

Water lily :)

Mushrooms!

Because of my absence I have no idea how my old blogging friends are doing. Some of you I have on facebook, but some of you I need to catch up with. Hope you are all well!!

  1. I don't think you've been "bad": splitting your energy between schoolwork, exercising, and watching what you eat is hard work.

  2. I'm glad you're back. I always wonder if a blogger has given up when they don't post. Keep us updated. :)

  5. Glad you are back. I too don't think it's bad, and don't like to associate bad/good to changing the way the overweight try to lose weight as I think it sets us up for failure. So you haven't done as much as you have in the past, life got in the way, it's okay, as long as you are still moving forward, are willing to improve, then the rest is gravy!

  8. I love that you stopped by and said hi. It was so good to hear from you.
    I started over the last week of August. We all stop and start (well I'm sure not all but lots). As long as we keep trying I think that's good.
    I love your pictures of your hikes. Keep them coming.
    Take care Maren and have a blessed week.

  11. Exercising at least three times a week? That's not bad at all!

  12. Very good to see you back my dear! A little bump in the plan is much better than a major backslide!

  13. Maren, this is going to sound crazy, but I'm really glad you were slightly absent. Because I too have been absent, and I love reading all of your blog posts, and it's been so much easier to catch up on everything with you! But nonetheless, I'm back now, and really happy to see you are as well :-)
