Amelia Bedelia's Journal, 23 February 2009

I ate poorly over the weekend on Friday and Saturday nights... I had done so well prior to that and I was so proud of the work I did before my last weigh in. Then I went and blew it on too much chickpea curry on Friday and jalapeno poppers, gyros, and chocolate cake on Saturday. I was so proud of myself and I'm still not sure why I went against that pride and gave in to temptation for two days... It's so frustrating! Why isn't weight loss a steady stream, why is there so much questioning and lack of confidence? And why does your body react so quickly to things you used to eat all the time? Did I used to gain .4 pounds from regular fat cream cheese and cake and all of that awful stuff? I worked out for 90 minutes on Saturday and for 45 minutes yesterday, so I'm sure that helped to burn off what could have been a lot worse.

But I am still frustrated. I am 7 pounds away from my goal. 7 STUPID POUNDS. I am more ready than ever to burn those off. I am going to do the following things to keep myself accountable for the next 11 weeks until my goal day, and what happens, happens!
--Work out 6 days a week for at least 30 minutes at a time
--Drink nothing but water and tea every day, at least 4 bottles a day
--I will eat nothing sweet, with alcohol, or clearly BAD for me. (No cake, no birthday shots, and no more gyro sauce!)
--Each time I get downhearted about myself, I will look at one of the motivational signs I posted yesterday in my kitchen and get my confidence back. I WILL be a size 8 by May 17, 2009!!
146.2 lb Lost so far: 8.8 lb.    Still to go: 11.2 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

good luck, i beleive you can do it! don't beat yourself up to much, look how far you have come, only seven pds from you're goal is great!! it is unreasonable to think you will live the rest of you're life without some of those things and really who would want to? just make more good choice than bad and you'll continue to move forward!
