I knew I shouldn't have weighed in today...wanted to see if I was down another .3 lbs since yesterday so I could officially change my avatar to 25 lbs lost. But alas, it said I had GAINED a pound! Oh well. I will be good and wait until my usual Friday weigh in. (I have been doing some weight training lately, so maybe that's it? Or just a normal fluctuation?) As long as I'm going the right way again Friday, I'll be happy
Ugh. It is my first gain in such a long while. Ugh, Ugh, UGh! I know what I did and am very happy with only a +.2 gain but still I am disappointed in myself. Okay, after my pity party, I am back on tracj! Can't wait for tomorrow!
Actually, I'm feeling better about it after looking at my calender. TOM is any day now, so that explains why I've actually gained a pound instead of the nice steady loss I've gotten used to. Here's hoping for a lovely little woosh in the next few days!
I am down another half pound. Back to 205.8...which means I offically lost the weight I gained last weekend. I learned a VERY valuable lesson, that unless I want to pay for a weekend with all the work I had done in the prior week, its best to stay ON PLAN.
Got my workout in today. It was EASY getting up at 5am this morning, as I had gone to bed early last night to avoid snacking. That sounds like a win/win to me!
Hope everyone is doing well! Only a couple of weeks left! Lets all give it a HUGE push and see how we do!
Going to do my workout after work and eating on plan. I have been struggling with my mind today. I can feel the self destruction pattern coming and I haven't learned how to deal with it.
However, I packed my meals like I do everyday, I brought my workout clothes to go to the gym after work. I just know I have to get my mind in check or the same thing that happened in times past will happen again. Any suggestions?

So it's Thursday morning here, my weigh day. I get on the scale and it says +2.2 lbs. from lst week. WTFreak! But TOM is here, early I might add, and my hands are really puffy. I have been OP all week, so I am hoping this is water retention. But man is it disapointing to see a gain after being on plan all week.
Scale was down again. 205.2 from 205.8 so, I will take it. THEN I messed up and had cupcakes ! WTH!!!
Why am I self sabotaging? As soon as I get somewhere new, I start heading for the 'fat hills'. UGH.
Can't take it back, so I am just going to NOT scrap this day--- concentrate on my water intake to flush it out and Make sure I have 'safe' meals this afternoon and evening and hopefully offset the damage.
Parkedout - I was feeling like that yesterday, like I was going to self destruct. Well I did a post on this site and they brought me back center. I'm good now. The main thing is to stop thinking about what you always did in the past and move forward NOW. Don't say what you are always doing. This time is DIFFERENT! So get off the fat hill and go for a walk or whatever you do for exercise. YOU WILL GET TO GOAL!!
I'm having a fabulous day. I got my calories in check, not too many carbs and will be doing the 1 hour workout I did yesterday. I walked/ran two miles on the treadmill and 30 minutes of weight training. Gotta get an ab workout in tonight.
OK lets get to it ladies. There are two weeks left to nail down that goal.
Those 2 ounces I lost yesterday...well, they're back. Woohoo! Gotta love TOM! If I wasn't calorie counting, I think I would have binged by now. I did on every other plan I've tried.
Parkedout- Don't get down on yourself over 1 cupcake. You are counting calories, after all...so count up those calories and move on! I *KNOW* the reason I'm successful this time is that nothing is off limits for me. Making something I really want "off-limits" leads to binges and feelings of guilt and failure, for me. I do make sure most of my food is healthy, high quality stuff, but I enjoy some kind of treat, within my calorie budget, every single day. I'm learning moderation.
Today is a great day. I packed healthy foods and my clothes to work out on my lunch break. I can see the size 18 on my body without the W!! I can't wait until next weekend. Getting my dress taken in and we gonna have some fun!!!
Woohoo! Gotta love TOM!
