I get it Molly. I know I shouldn't. I know an extra 120ish lbs is terrible for me... yet the doughnuts look so good. I'm done making excuses for myself. I told my family today, I'd be avoiding their snack-filled house until I can get my cravings under control and learn how to tell myself no. I don't know how yet. I'm refocused. Here we go.
Food is everywhere. I saw some commercials last night for bacon wrapped pizza and I swear I thought it looked delicious.
Am I out of my mind??
I can't blame commercials-- we only recently got TV, we lived without it for several years and I still got fat. It is lifestyle decisions, and I don't make good ones consistently.
Today my food is packed. Grandkids come tonight for the weekend and there will be tea parties with graham crackers- their favorite. My plan is to substitute a fruit for every time I want bread or sweets. We'll see Sunday when they leave how that turned out.

Yeah, I might actually be able to do this. If I can loose the same this coming week, it is a real possibility. I'm heading out of town next weekend for my birthday, that could be the hitch in my plan. We shall see.
I need to stop binging! My weight is finally going in the right direction. I won't reach my goal weight this challenge, but if I can get back to losing weight that will be good too. Good Luck, Everyone!

Reason: Weight change.
I was 249 this morning. I usually weigh in on Fridays, but I am going out of town tonight, and won't have access to a scale tomorrow. I only need two more pounds to make the challenge, but I don't think I will hit it since I will be out of town for the weekend. I'll try to make good choices, but eating in restaurants for all meals will most likely take a toll. All I can do is try to even it out some with walking.
I made it to the 240s. My goal for Mar 17th was to be alot closer to the 230s. It has been a struggle to get my head right. But I believe that 2 weeks of not gaining weight is an accomplishment. Although I made bad choices, they were preceded by really good choices and every day started off good. I didn't throw in the towel and go whole hog on hiatus.
Staying close to these posts is the reason. If I stray it seems easier to go off the rails.
Thank you all for your encouragement and sharing your journey.

One more pound and I will put the 2nd pig in my signature. I am going to do my best today to make that be tomorrow.
Grilled alot yesterday- eggplant, sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, apples, asparagus, chicken breast, talapia, onions. I can eat well (and clean) today. Have a walking date with my husband this evening.

What is perfect anyway? Did you make better choices than you would have before? Sounds perfect to me.
Well, I'm sure I didn't hit my goal, but I'm not getting on the scale until Friday. I did well this weekend, but not as well as I could have. But, it is only one weekend, and I'm ready to hit it hard. I was under calories on Sunday and Thursday. Maybe Friday, I was even. I worked out and walked Friday, but I had cocktails and wine with dinner, and even desert. Saturday, I was way over my calories for the day. Hopefully with the two days under evened out the two days over with the exercise included.
