So its been a year

OK, so its been a year and I'm in Saint john for 8 weeks again (week 4 now) and the new resolution contest at SFL, K100, organizing connections and the yoga outfit have me excited again.

SO what happened in the last year... Well a stressful year to say the least (private life stuff) and despite maintaining my new low weight (I did make it to 200 pounds from my original 262) until November, December hit me like a tonne of bricks, followed by left over cheap January, Valentines day February and Easter crap march. OK, so I gained my weight back (230 on may 1st) and moved back to Saint john to teach some more at UNBSJ.

OK, so the first day back - right to what I can recall of my SFL menus (I have a large data loss of computer stored information this past year and am using my brains - owwww --- to remember the plan) and right into crossfit.

Both are as fun but as challenging as I remember and some work outs kill me. some scare me away and some food still tempts me. I tend to be strong to resist "wrong" eating, but when i fall/stumble a bit, i fall a lot.

Now its almost June. I'm down around 224 (a start) but have gained a lot of strength back already at the gym which means I'm down more fat than my loss indicates. My clothing feels better again, my life feels better and I'm doing better.

Last weekend I ran into Bruce Sweeney from SFL and I had actually kinda been hiding from him, embarrassed to have believed so strongly in the program , but fallen so harshly. THIS GUY ROCKS. No judgment, but just positive reinforcement (with a strong hint to get my butt into the clinic - this Thursday).

I guess i can sum it up with the following:

I am Jeff McNally, I suffer from over-eating and lack of fitness and I am living my life now, not letting it live me. I have a very healthy attitude, and will once again soon have a very healthy body.
