battling the buldge

I have been struggling.  Good one day, then not so good the next.   And repeat. Today, I begin again.  My year long journey is still attainable but I  need to work extra hard.  I have a goal in mind for the next 6 weeks. (a couple really) TODAY I AM stopping the negative thoughts coming into my head and picturing myself fitting into my summer clothes.  :-)  A new swimsuit is on my list before vacation.

WEEK 10

This week I'm almost back to my 15 lbs.  I'm back on track drinking my water.  Have cut back on popcorn snacking in the evenings.  While it's my favorite snack, I do tend to over due it.  haha.  Story of my life.  I AM eating healthy and I AM on this journey of reversing bad habits.  Weather has been beyond great this week.  A little more sun and it would have been perfect!

WEEK 9

A bit behind and my scales are reflecting it.  Wish I was one that ate less when I'm am on overload and stressed instead of the other way around.  Up 2 lbs this week.  ugh.  Recommitted and staying focused on better choices.  Breakfast today - 1 egg (70 cal) made in the microwave, added 2 slices of ham (25 cal) on top to warm while waiting for Orowheat Sandwich Thin (100 cal) to toast in the toaster.  yumo!  It's a new week and a new day!  I AM ready!

WEEK 8

Hmmm. Scale is going backwards this week. Reality is...I need to drink more water. Reality is...I will stick to portion control. Reality is...I have to start my day with a healthy breakfast. Reality is...my kitchen is free of any junk food. Reality is...I WILL do better

I'M THIRSTY

WATER!  Need more of it and I don't know why it's not happening.  I started out so well and I like water but just not on top of it these last few days.. Needs to be at the top of my list for this week.
Where is that list anyway?

WEEK 7

Okay, okay.  I just couldn't help myself.  Got on the scales this morning for my weekly weigh in.  ugh.  I knew it was not going to be pretty.  Up 4.4 lbs!  A long weekend with no self control.  But I just have to say, those Lave Cakes were well worth it!  Now to fuel my body with healthy foods and get back on the treadmill.  I CAN DO THIS!

WHILE AWAY...

Wow! What a weekend! Celebrating Mother Ethel's 91st Birthday at the Oregon Coast. A picture perfect time enjoyed by all. I know the scales will not be forgiving, so I'm just going to stay away from them this week and get right back on track. It is a new day! And the weekend was worth every single "ounce" of fun that we had.

 

Mother Ethel on her 91st Birthday!  Love her.
