Weigh in

So I was totally ready to whine, and cry and bitch and moan how I gained weight this week, but it turns out that I didn't. Until I decided not to avoid this blog and pulled it up I realized that I actually stayed the same. Then I also relived this week of eating, the ghosts of meals past so to speak.

Now the KFC was a passive agreement on what to get for dinner, I actually don't like KFC, way too greasy. But I didn't have to eat the ice cream, M& Ms or popcorn. But I was watching the end of LOST. Practically eating because of grief.

I went a bit crazy on the arrowroot cookies.

I had several days off and a beautiful weekend yet I hardly exercised at all. I am just not a fan of the heat but that is not an excuse, the damn fireworks stopped me, they gave my dog a nervous breakdown all weekend so walking after dark was not an option either.

But I am ready to pull up my britches (if I can get them on) and get to business.

Why I am going to be successful this summer

1) LOST will be over and I will now will be able to leave my apartment between the hours of 9 and 10 pm.
2) All those other TV's shows I am unwholesomly addicted to will be over for the season.
3) It is warm out and I will actually go outside.
4)I am ready to live life, not just watch it
5) 4 months with no upcoming birthdays, celebrations, family events, major holidays to throw me off my game, 4 months to work on good habits so I can get through the not so easy months.
6)I am sick and tired of busting out of my clothes.
7)I am sick of having sore joints because of all the extra weight on them.
8) small workable goals. One pound at a time. Can't look at the big picture, I don't want to discourage myself with how big the task is.
9)Support. In any form I can get it. From my weight loss group, online, family.
10) Education. I think I know everything on weight loss (uh yeah right, emphasis on THINK) so I am going to read up on nutrition etc.

So these are the 10 reasons I am going to be successful this Summer.

Success, Success, Success........I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.

Weigh in

Down 4 lbs! I was hoping for five, but I am just happy I am down! 369 lbs. So now I am making goals for next week, I am aiming for another 4 lbs. If I could do that I could lose 12 lbs in a month. Okay lets not get to ahead of myself, I am going for the small goals, one pound at a time.

Doing alright

I'm not doing too badly, have tracked my food each day so far and remained under 2000 cals, and that is with going out last night to a pot luck! my first temptation, I am actually pretty proud of myself for not giving up and just eating like crazy. We will see if I get any results on weigh in day! One day at a time is my moto right now. I am not looking at the big picture too much, it's a bit daunting when you realize just how much weight I have to lose.

Still here

Just thought I would shout out and say that I am still here! lets just say I was on another long break. now back to our regularly scheduled program......
