The Show Must Go On With or Without "Him"

Back in February I reached a HUGE feat and lost 6 lbs in 4 weeks. I lost more than 4% of my body weigh and I was really starting to feel good and was really proud of myself. My weight loss trickle on for a month or so more. I even one day showed a 10-pound weight loss from where I originally started, but life happened. I started eating whatever I wanted to again and gave in to the cookies sitting on the counter at work. So as you can assume what happened - I gained the weight back. While I don't think I'm as big as I originally started. I can still feel that I am more toned and muscular than I was before I started my journey it is still disappointing knowing that I regressed and I wasn't able to maintain all the hard work I did.

So here I am again back to square one and working on making those habits that I had while on my dietbetter.com mission lifestyle habits. I need to do these things not just because I want to win a bet, but because it's good for me and it makes me feel happy and proud of myself. While this lifestyle was very all-consuming, I'm not going to lie - I believe through practices and persistence that it will be natural and easy. I can still maintain normal social lifes - minus eating the junk food with them. 

The last couple of months I've been focused on online dating and there was a lot of birthdays and celebration going on in June that made it nearly impossible for me to get back on track with my fitness and healthy eating. But frankly I'm exhausted with online dating, every guy just feels wrong. A guy messages me and I just have no interest in talking to any of them. 

So I'm ready to be a little self-centered again. Even though that term is usually associated with a negative condotation, in my case I really don't think it is. I need to be me with or without a man in my life. I know that I have a lot of potential and that I want to be the best version of me I can be and I don't think there is anything wrong with that. 

Dating, talking to men, dealing with all the games and BS is exhausting and I'm just over it. I'm ready to just refocus on me and just be Carrie without a man. Maybe in the journey of things I'll figure out something new I want to do with my career. For now I'm refocusing my energy on one thing I know I have 100 percent control of, my fitness, and hopefully the rest of life with all just fall into place. So that's the plan and I'm sticking to it.
