Slacking off

The last few days I have not been as focused or as dedicated to my diet as I should be. I've been eating way more candy than I should, and I have not been as good about exercising. My weight loss has slowed down, and I really need to get back on track. I am on the second phase of my diet plan, and I've been able to add more foods back into my diet, so I was hoping that would keep me motivated... I guess I'll just have to try harder.

Blah....

Depression equals consuming massive quantities of chocolate. I must get myself under control.

Weekend

I intentionally went over my calorie goal both yesterday and today. Yesterday I was starving all day, and it seemed like no matter how much I ate, I didn't feel full. So I figured that my body was feeling deprived from two days of being almost 200 calories under my goal, and Saturday I had about 1500 calories instead of my normal 1200. Today I felt better, but and ended up a little bit over 1300 calories for the day. It is much harder to stick to my diet when I am home all day with access to all the junk food in my house. I need to figure out better ways to keep myself busy and not thinking about food.

Down a pants size

I wasn't expecting to be down a pants size this quickly, but it's awesome! I have a stash of pants that I've been saving for *someday* when I lost the weight, and they all fit! I pulled them out to try on because I need proof beyond the scale that I'm actually losing weight. Having a great Saturday here, but despite my cranky kid and troublemaker dog.

From bad to worse

Every time I think things are starting to get better, I am shown how wrong I am. My number one goal for this year is to take control of my life. Lose weight, manage my house better, and finally get a handle on our finances. So far, I've made some progress with my diet, but that's it. My house is such a disaster that I don't know where to start, and finances? Forget it.... That's pretty much a lost cause. Lots of negativity in my head tonight, and I'm not sure how I'm going to get past it this time.

Today

Today I've had a really hard time being positive... About my diet, and work, and life in general. I think that having two days of no losses on the scale has played a big role in that. I it just felt like nothing was working out in my favor today. I just a lot of little things that added up to a crummy day. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that tomorrow will be much better!

Rough couple days

I've been having a hard time with my food the last couple of days. I stayed within my calorie goal on Monday, but I ate a bunch of junk. Yesterday I did awesome with my food during the day, but last night was really bad. I went to the Y yesterday and ran 3.1 miles, and and I was starving last night. I ate a ton of food that I shouldn't have. It's showing on the scale too, so I really need to get back on track.
