Eater’s remorse…

Yikes.

I just stepped on the scale as I usually do first thing in the morning. I’m usually somewhere around 171, and today I’m at 174!! This is not good.

I went out for dinner last night and ate a WHOLE PIZZA. I mean, it was one of those thin crust things that’s meant for one, but it’s still just WAY too much food for ANYONE, let alone someone on WW!  I felt sick when I went to bed and I feel sick now.  This was the feeling that led me to WW in the first place. I realized that I was going to bed every night feeling sick because i was so full. It’s the worst! I don’t ever want to feel like that again.

I’m using the fact that I’m outrageously busy with school as an excuse to not work out, but the truth is, I have lost weight during exams before. It just takes a little planning, and it’s really not that difficult.

Here is what I need to do today (because clearly I need to take it one day at a time):

1. Exercise! I need to do the 45 minute Turbo Jam Cardio Party. I know that if I do this consistently I will lose weight. I know this because I’ve done it before. I managed to fit it in every single day.  I will get back to that routine. I want to be at a healthy weight before i finish school and my life becomes more chaotic!

2. Eat properly: I will NOT eat salty snack food or the leftover cupcakes that are in my fridge.  I have asparagus that needs to be finished, and I have cupboards FULL of healthy options.  I will cook every meal at home between now and my weigh in.

3. Do Physio: I need to take better care of my back. I should be doing a daily pilates and physio program to strengthen, but I haven’t been doing it. I am going to end up crippled if I don’t get my act together.

4. Rewards: For fun, I’m going to write down some things to reward myself with when I reach a goal. Clearly I need something to motivate me!

For some reason I’ve been on a dress-shopping rampage lately. I am an ebay addict and get a major rush out of finding a good deal. I just bought a spectacular royal blue diane von furstenberg that fits, but is SKIN tight. I need to lose the ponch around my stomach to feel comfortable in it. My other current obsession is the Black Halo Jackie O Cut Out dress. I’ve seen it on lots of celebrities and I just fell in love with it. However, it’s a little racy in that it has a cut out on the back, and I’m not sure if I’ll ever have the guts to wear it out. Anyway, I just bought it in a size 10- I got a GREAT deal on ebay! (story of my life). I have no idea how these dresses fit, but I figure if it’s too small it will be motivation (so that now brings the total to 3 designer dresses that I have for “motivation”. I need to get this under control!).  Here are some pictures that I found online of the many incarnations of the Jackie O Cut Out: The one I bought is the White top- blue band- black skirt combo.  As you can see, some people (mariah, i’m looking at you) have it altered to look like something a Julia Roberts would have worn in Pretty Woman, but I think it’s pretty cute when you keep the skirt knee-length.  I borrowed this great picture of all the versions of the dress from zimbio.com:

Clearly I need to stop shopping and only buy things as motivation. One of my many goals was to lose enough weight that I would have to buy new jeans. That hasn’t happened after almost a year on WW. That’s kind of sad. Although I am back into the ones that didn’t’ fit me when I started WW, so I guess that’s something.

I think I’m going to make my rewards list after I finish all my work today, so be sure to check back for it, and leave me some ideas, if you want! :)
