Current Weight: 151.8
Change: +.4
Grrrrr. I'm really not liking the scale right now :/ I know in my head that I need to let go of what the scale says, but it's a really difficult thing for me.
I should be grateful that I've basically maintained. Things have been a bit "off" since Thanksgiving. I overdid it on the dessert table (shocking right??) and have been struggling with carbs since. I thought maybe if I upped my carb intake I wouldn't crave them so bad... you know, like if I allow myself a little leeway it would be better?? Buzzzzz, wrong answer. Leeway (in terms of carbs) is a slippery slope for me. Throw in a few bad nights with sleeping & dreary weather and I feel like a mess! Cravings and bad choices galore. I'm not talking massive amounts of anything (as in binging) but picking at little bits of this and that adds up too. Wine and a half a bagel is not dinner either (that was last night).
I did some thinking today. I need to be better prepared in terms of dinner. That's been a hot mess this week. I need to make sure I have good stuff in the house... I must go to the grocery store TODAY.
I also need to commit to an exercise plan for the next 4 weeks. I finished up my 6 week weight training plan last week and felt a bit at loose ends in that department. I don't want to start the second 6 week program when I know I'll be going out of town at the 4 week point. Did I mention we're going to Disneyland for Christmas??
It definitely feels better to have a plan. And as always it helps to write it down here :)
No more wine, no more bagels, no more crap or excuses.

You and I are a lot alike. I can't give myself any slack because I fall off track. It's kind of all or nothing for me. I am not even stepping foot on the scale this week. I would be setting myself up for disaster. Sounds like you did much better than I did on Thanksgiving!
The weather is always a factor that sneaks up on me when it comes to eating. I always say, jeez, why am I so hungry? I soon realize that I am not hungry in the least bit but needing comfort for the dreariness and wetness outside. I have found that drinking plain tea really helps with this.
Drinking tea really helps me too. I get this every year when the weather gets nasty. Feeling better after one full day back on track and a few workouts under my belt. Never underestimate the power of seratonin :)
You are not along my friend! And I know you, you will never give up, it's not in you :)
You will power on and you will make your goals. Yes you will.
Happy Saturday Tiffany!
