Yeah, I fell off the project for a while but now I'm back. I attribute two things to the falling off. I always have trouble around my birthday. I want to know why I can't just have a nice dinner and a piece of cake and call it a day. It seems I have to eat every treat out there and a lot of it. It's like if I let my self a little off the program...I just can't reign it back in...I go nuts. Secondly, I always have trouble when I get to a major milestone such as getting under 300 as I just did a short time ago. A long time ago I realized it meant "crap, I could really do this and then what would life be like?" I know it doesn't sound sane but a life without my protective layer of fat is a little scary. Third (ok, I guess there's three things) I was getting very burned out of biking everyday and logging/measuring food everyday. I'm proud that I stuck with it for almost 70 days, though. Here's to the next 70!
I weighed myself yesterday and I was 307 which is 6.8 pounds up from my last weigh in. Add that to the 1.2 I was up the previous week and I'm 8 pounds up. I didn't make my goal to lose 20 pounds and be under 300 by my birthday. I am very disappointed in this and in myself for giving up when I was so close to my goal.
But I'm here to recommit to my goals and not to dwell on past failures. My new goal is to be under 300 by the time school starts on August 23. I know it doesn't seem like that much time to lose 8 pounds but I'm banking on the fact that maybe half of it is fluid. We will see.
My goal today was to measure and track all my food and watch portions. I also took a bike ride for the first time in 5 days or so. I realized that without the exercise I felt so sluggish and blahhhh. Also because I was eating every rich food in site and a lot of it.
Breakfast was 2 poptarts and a cup of milk.
Lunch was leftover French onion soup and half a sandwich from Bread Co. I put a piece of baguette and one ounce of extra cheese on the soup and broiled it....so good. I also had two Chips Ahoy for dessert.
Supper was a chicken sausage on bread with barbeque sauce and some cheezits. Two cookies again.
Cals for the day were 2121/1930. Not great but I'm sure better that the 10,000s of calories I've had the past few days. And I did complete my goal of measuring and tracking everything.
Thank you for sticking with me!
