The journey from fat to fit. Road trip, woo hoo!

I had my weigh in today.  Only down .6 of a pound this week, for a total of 18.6 pounds total loss in 13 weeks.  I would like to be making faster progress, but I do own up to the fact that my exercise is not where it should be.

After the weigh in, I went to Taco Bell today.  My fast food has been really, really limited for the last 13 weeks, which is when I started Jenny Craig.  Before that, it was out of control, as in fast food pretty much every day for lunch and then sometimes even for dinner too.  Since starting JC I have been avoiding it, and doing really well.  But for some reason today, I could not drive past the Bell.  I had two chicken soft tacos and an order of cheesy fiesta potatoes.  I listed the damage in my food log, and when I factor in that I had not had breakfast and then had a really “good” dinner and avoided snacks pretty much, I still stayed pretty much within my 1200 cal/day goal.  Plus I did 20-minutes of cardio where I really kept my heart rate of for a good 15 minutes of the time, so that’s a plus.

I’m just worried that it’s the start of something ugly.  That “urge” it from out of nowhere after 12 weeks of being quiet.  I don’t want to go down that road again.  I’ll admit that I was a little disappointed in my measley .6 loss, but I wasn’t in my “fuck it, I’ll just binge” mode either.  I’m going to have to keep the fast food in check or I know the weight I’ve lost will come right back.
