A quick follow-up to my "8 week challenge"

Okay, I was looking at my last few posts and realize I really am not portraying the right picture of myself! I see that I began a couple posts about an "8 week challenge." It looks as though I gave up and never completed them because I didn't blog about it. 
Not true!
I did complete the challenge. In fact, I won the challenge! 
There was a little pot of money involved and that was fun :) 
I wound up finding myself eating sugary treats only once a week - which is huge for me. 
I also found I had a little more energy than before. The energy part took a few weeks to kick in.
I was pretty low on energy when I first began. My goal with this 8 week challenge was to go all out crazy and start a new work out routine and start eating healthier and avoid sugars. I needed to start with one newly focused habit; or I knew I would not succeed. 
My goal was to just to focus on what I ate. 
It was awesome. I lost weight and gained a new happy habit in return.
After the eight weeks I decided to incorporate working out.
This was just one new habit. After all, I had already been settled into a new eating plan that was going well. It was time to keep the upward momentum going. 
My body was happy, I was happy. I'm not sure that I was actually accomplishing much more on a day to day basis. I felt good on a day to day basis. Not sluggish, energetic. Ready for bed. 
That was/is so important to me. 
I wanted to follow-up on this, because the strides I made during that time - are notable.

Back Slacker

Wow, am I a slacker! I didn't even remember to blog. I messed my back up last week and haven't been able to do much for days; no driving, lifting, standing in one spot for any period time. You get the picture.
Any how, one would think I could at least use this down time to get some daily updates on here. 
No, not me...I guess.
Okay, well, I'm forgiving myself and moving forward.
After several lazy days, my back is starting feel better, I get to visit the chiropractor, and I'm thinking things are looking up.
