Tuesday Accountability
I am down .5 this week. I didn't work out at all, which I need to remedy. Easier said than done.
My total weight loss so far is 20 lbs. Which I was feeling really great about for a while. My clothes fit so much better. But now the initial excitement has worn off and I am starting to feel bad about my weight again... I've still got a long way to go. I still cringe when I see photos of myself. I'm sure feeling down on myself is not the healthiest thing right now, but it's just the slump that I'm in.
Sorry about the downer post. How are you ladies doing?
Re: Tuesday Accountability
I was going to post this in the tirade post, but I'm not mad at anyone but myself.
On the downer note, I am SO mad at myself that I can't lose the weight. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty good at almost everything that I try to do in my life (except for team sports and understanding the economy), but I can't for the life of me PUT DOWN THE FORK lol. I just love food so much! It's hard to say no.
I was consistently 157 for about the last year and felt really good, but wanted to lose another 10 or 15 ideally. I kind of let myself slide the last few months and now I'm up to 160. I feel like I automatically look fifteen pounds heavier when I go from 159 to 160. My Jay Leno chin appears at 160 and above.
And I also get overwhelmed with how to eat to lose weight. I mean, I've done it and I know how to do it I think, but it's like do I stick with WW? Or try and cut processed carbs? Or try and do both? I think about it for awhile and then think, "Eh, fuuk it." I can do okay during the week when I stick with WW, but the weekends go to shiit. And alcohol is SO many points now! So that's hard too since we go out a lot and anything with friends usually involves drinking some.
I don't know what I'm getting at and I don't really have a point here. Just frustrated with myself.
I don't remember the last time I stepped into the gym. I am not tracking what I eat anymore. Yesterday for lunch I had a gyro, fries, BBQ chips, part of a large oatmeal cookie and 1.5 cups of Sprite.
I like eating SO much that I can't stop.
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?

Lump me in that boat as well. There's a reason I majored in Food Science! Seriously though, I have no self control when it comes to food. I normally don't bring snacks and sweets into the house, and get really mad at DH when he buys them "as a treat" for me.
I haven't really lost or gained at all, but I'm currently working on getting my muscle tone back because my metabolism just plain sucks! Seriously, my base rate is 1440 calories. I can't cut a whole lot at that point. So I'm just sucking it up and trying to adjust HOW I get those calories and improving my muscle tone. I realize that it will take me near 6-9 months to get where I want to be, but I'm totally ready.
Also, DH and I pretty much agreed to stop at 2 kids over the weekend, so I'm a bit bummed about that. I guess I'll have to adopt some girl for my feminine fix every now and then.
"My 101 List - Updating asap, I swear!
I am sure I ate 4 billion calories yesterday, but I am down 0.2lb... ... total. hahaha
I did stop with the freaking soda, and I'm drinking crystal light (I can drink the new crystal light pure!! God bless truvia!!) and actually getting properly hydrated.. This week is kind of crazy for me, but I will get to the gym at least once or twice and then try to get more consistent from then out.
I also just found a pair of pants that I bought a few months ago that were kind of expensive and only kind of fit. I called them "future pants," and I regretted it instantly and was going to return them... ... and I thought I did.. ... ... apparently I didn't. So I'm using that as my motivation for right now. haha
