I am so disappointed in myself right now. I managed to get to my goal weight of 140 pounds, and maintained it for a while, but then my life got crazy and I haven't been able to adjust my exercise routine to my new hectic schedule. I think I've been unrealistically hoping that things would change, that I would wake up one morning and go back to the days when I had time to go to the gym after work. Well, I simply have to accept that it isn't happening any time soon. In a few months, I'll most likely be getting a different job, but I can't wait until then to start taking care of myself the way I used to! I WILL start exercising, if only for half an hour, on my 'lunch break' (when the little boy I look after is napping). I WILL start snacking wisely, not eating any more than I truly need to. I find myself eating when I'm not hungry, eating when I'm bored or stressed out. Basically, I've gone back to my 'fat habits'. Eating McDonald's for dinner on the way to class, because I "don't have time". I know that it's bullshit, I could pack a freaking sandwich! Or at least choose a healthier option when I do eat fast food. But even as I say that, I realize that it's a slippery slope when it comes to fast food restaurants, for me at least. So, that being said, I WILL pack a healthy sandwich or other 'on-the-go' dinner item for the nights I'm racing from work to class. The hardest thing seems to be the snacking, it seems to be hard-wired into my brain that if I'm bored, I should eat something. I was doing so well for so long, only eating what my daily calorie needs allowed, and it payed off. I need to remind myself how good it felt to hit my goal weight, and believe that I can do it again. This time I will make it last!
My list of goals/rules:
-My goal weight is 135 pounds, which I hope to achieve by mid-July!
-My calorie allowance is 1400 calories per day (except on Sunday, my cheat day)
-My breakfasts will consist of a whole wheat English muffin with peanut butter, coffee or tea with low-fat milk and 2 tsp. of sugar (for a total of 375 calories)
-My snacks will consist of fruit, nuts, or cheese (max. 100 calories, 2 snacks a day)
-My lunches will consist of either canned soup, salad with lean protein and a simple oil and vinegar dressing, or a healthy and organic frozen entree (max. 300 calories)
-My dinners will consist of lots of vegetables (both cooked and raw), complex carbs, and lean protein (max. 500 calories)
-And IF I have dessert, it will be fresh fruit or decaf tea with a bit of sugar (no more than 50 calories)
-I will log my calories on the FatSecret calorie counter app!
-I will work out for at least half an hour, 5 days a week, plus hiking whenever I can on weekends!
-I will weigh in weekly, and assess what I did right or wrong that week
-I will reward myself for achieving my goals (I have yet to work out my rewards system)
-I will drink more water!

Been backsliding lately, I can't even remember the last time I worked out! After I came back from my sister's wedding in Canada my life went from crazy to crazier! I started my fall classes, started working 8 am to 6 pm (I had been working 8 to 4), and then my MIL had knee surgery which means I'm now the woman of the house. I feel like I'm slowly losing my mind, I've never been so stressed in my life! Every day is a battle between what needs to be done and not having the time or energy to do it all! Thank goodness my man is so helpful and is understanding of how much pressure I'm under. Let's hope my head doesn't explode before Thanksgiving!
