Okay everyone I am back and more determined than ever to finally reach my weight-loss goal (that I should have reached pretty much by now) in the new year! I know I seemed to fall off the face of the earth when it comes to this blog lately, but I hope to start posting more again as I hopefully reach my goal weight within the next year or so! 

The truth is I pretty much haven't been working too hard on my diet and exercising over the past few months and have been set back quite a bit. I would have felt pretty hypocritical giving any sort of weight-loss advice seeing as I wasn't following any of it myself. I by no means went back to my old ways or gained all the weight I lost back (although I did gain back a little bit to be perfectly honest) but I wasn't taking that much care in my eating habits anymore and although I was still exercising, not nearly as much as I was/probably should have been. Just to prove that I have not gained all the weight back, here is a before/after picture where the after picture was just taken about 10 minutes ago:
