So, the competition is officially over, and while I lost 13 (!!) lbs last month, I am not quite done. I have taken a bit of a respite for the last couple weeks, but I am now ready to go back to what was working for me in the month of May: LOTS of running and eating more veggies along with low carb foods…! Eating low carb is hard to do for me – after all, it sure is easier to grab a fun colorful bag of processed food in a pinch, or eat the leftovers from my son’s McDonalds Happy Meal – but low carb is what works for me. I’ve got 3 young kiddos and they’re not big veggie eaters, so planning meals that require one thing for them and my husband and something different for me, becomes a bit of a challenge and lots of planning. Certainly doable, but takes more effort and determination!

This competition was a great pre-summer motivator for me. I’m more determined than ever to lose the last few pounds in time for our vacation in July! And then keep it off afterwards! UT Football season will have to take on either more running or a different menu in our house! ;o)

So, while I’m still about 10 lbs from my goal weight, I’ll get there – I’m working hard again! So, bring on another competition – I’ll be coming for you Stephanie! ;o)
