Well, it has been about 2 months since my last blog. Been a really hard 2 months to get through. Finally started working again, but now I am doing work offsite, and the temptations are definitely there. Always passing by fast food places. Trying to stay away, but they are still attracting me, and I have given into temptation numerous times. I really need to resist the temptation. It is really hard. I am still running 5.4km 2-3 times per week, but I have hit a plateau and am gaining some weight back.

Well, it is half way though the year of change for me, and I am feeling a lot better than I was at New Years. Yes it has still been a year of ups and downs, but all in all, it has been a lot better than past years. I am still looking for a new job, but I havent let myself go at all health wise. I am not ready to give up all my hard work. I will admit that I have splurged a bit here and there, and have felt guilty afterwards. But, I have made up for it each time by continuing my running, and still trying to eat as healthy as I can. Right now is expecially difficult since I have seemed to have hit a road block.

I was sitting at home looking for a new job and thought I would write a quick blog. Recently I found out that I was being laid off from my job, and yesterday was my last day. It was completely unexpected since I had been at this company for almost 4 years, but with business being extremely slow, they had to let some people go. Unfortunately I had to be one of them. At first I was really upset and angry, and thought that I would return to my old habits and completely destroy what I have done in the last 2 months. Yes I have had the odd strawberry shake from DQ, but I still have been keeping up with my healthy eating and my running/walking schedule.

Started a Candida Cleanse on Monday. Trying to clean out all that extra crap that I have put inside me over the last year. Been told that it takes a lot out of you, but I have done alright so far. I hear that some people have lost 20-30 lbs on this thing, so maybe this will help me as much. Some can't exercise on this thing, but I have been able to a bit. Not as much as I am used to, but who knows, this exercising might help. I did this last year and lost 20 lbs. Course the only thing I didnt do right last time was I went back to my old eating habits, and my exercising tailed off. Not going to do it this time.

As i go vegetarian to lose weight i will share my thoughts, experiences and hopes. Let me know what you think. I hope that by eliminating meat from my diet i will focus more on eating fruits and vegetables and other healthy foods instead of eating the garbage that most meat is served with or how it is served...

Stay -in tune, in touch, in formed....
