Weightloss Wednesday
How is everyone doing?
I am also wondering how everyone stays motivated? I can't be the only one having this problem.

Re: Weightloss Wednesday
I've been doing really good. I worked out 5 days last week and took Sunday and Monday off. I've been eating really good and even at a party this weekend, I didn't drink one bit of alcohol (that was really hard!!). I haven't weight myself, and I don't think I want to any time soon. Last time I did, I hadn't lost any weight and that was a little upsetting.
I'm part of a facebook group that is all about fitness and health. It's all women that post encouraging photos, healthy recipes, fitness advice, and goals. That's helped a lot. I also printed off some pictures and taped them up around my house. I have three that are posted on the dry side of the glass part of my shower and I see it every morning. One says, "The voice inside your head saying you can't do this is a liar", another that says "Want it, work for it" and another that says "You're one day closer to your goal".
It also helps that H and I work together and we are both dieting and working out, so we are constantly reminding each other to stay on track.
It was a rough weekend. A LOT of beer was consumed.
I do my best to stay motivated using MFP and contributing to some of their message boards. I also have an inspiration board on Pinterest and find that cruising the Health & Fitness board there helps.
I'm down 7 pounds overall. I did really bad last week/over the weekend, but I really started getting back into it yesterday. I have a friend who I text for motivation, but she tends to use me more for motivation than I need her. H is pretty good about motivating me, even though he doesn't do well on a diet. I can't exercise a lot right now because of my knee :-/ Not sure what to do about that one. I can hopefully convince H to go to the swimming pool at the gym with me so I can try laps.
Another way I stay motivated is that I have a list of weight loss rewards printed out in a pretty font and color that I have posted on my bathroom wall. It's got specific items or activities that I want to do and I can once I lose the weight. My biggest reward is to do a boudoir photo shoot
I am the so far from motivated. I can barely even see that "motivated" line.
I'm eating ok. Trying everything in my power to have will power. I went to town on the Cheez Its last night which I regretted after. It is taking every last bit of strength I have to avoid the ice cream that I have in the freezer. H has eaten about half of it and I just watch.
I need to get myself moving. I am going to a wedding next weekend in Montauk on the east end of Long Island. I was hoping it could be a beach weekend, but it's looking like it'll only be around 70 degrees, so I think it'll be a fun explore a new place for H and I(although I've been there many times).
My 30th is 3 weeks from today. A while back I wanted to be at my goal by then. I know I won't make it now unless I go on a strict diet and really crank up the exercise, but if I don't get moving at all I won't even be near that goal.
