I have to get really straight with myself. There are lots of hidden calories in the foods I eat. Right now I am ready to tackle two of them. My half and half consumption has gotten way out of control. I love coffee and I usually drink 3 cups a day - with at least two tablespoons or more in each cup. I am probably drinking 100 calories a day just in coffee with half and half. Wow. I have to be honest. The key to weight loss is honesty about what is coming in and what is going out. I have therefore resolved to drinking my coffee black. I thougt it would be terrible, and I have tried it for the last 2 days, and it is not bad. I think I can go with black coffee and save myself 100 calories a day. Also with this, I am eating way more hummus than what a single serving is supposed to be. It says that the size of a single serving of hummus is 2 tbsp. I am eating at least twice or 3 times that. I eat hummus with carrots and I probably eat it at least once a day. That's an additionally like 300 calories a day. So if I cut out half and half, and I cut out hummus, then I should be able to lose more weight and get out of this slump.

I have been doing a miserable job of keeping a journal. I want to, but it's so hard. All last year I journaled like crazy, and this year I can barely log my food let alone my exercise. I did pretty well tonight with both food and exercise and I didn't want to do either. I wanted to stay home and watch science shows and eat an entire box of sugar free lemon cookies in bed. But no, I had a turkey blt for dinner and I went to the gym and I at least ran a 5K. I am so frustrated with weighing 180 pounds! The lowest I got last year was 169. I have put about 10 pounds back on. I have stayed pretty consistently exercising, but I really laxed on my food bigtime. I would eat well for 5 or 6 days, and then before the week was up I had a huge binge. That's what I've been doing for 6 months. Obviously it's not working. My goals are to just log all of my food - if I get a journal or my exercise in, that's great. I have to keep up the intensity with exercising. I will weigh myself every day. I find if I don't log, and I don't weigh, then it's easier for me to blow it. Just trying hard here. Trying very hard.

Hello Fat Secreters! I have been pretty good about recording my food, now I just have to record the exercise. I have been pushing myself REALLY hard. I have started to run 10K about 3 times a week, and when I'm not going to the gym to workout, I am walking 5 miles a day around the neighborhood. I feel like I might be pushing myself a little too hard. I intend to run in a 10K race this weekend - the race starts at 7am, grrrrrr. It is going to be one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. The 5K was kind of like that for me, but this one is more so. I am nervous - I know I will go too slow to be timed, but I know I will finish. I have tremendous endurance - I can run for an hour and 40 minutes straight with stopping only for water. What I don't have is speed. I cannot seem to run under a 14 minute mile. I know it sounds crazy, but as I meet this latest challenge, I am toying with the idea of doing a half marathon - 13.1 miles, probably in a year, 9 months from now, something like that. That's twice as far as a 10K, which is 6.4 miles. Now that I can run a 10K and I thought I would never get there, the idea of going twice as far as that doesn't seem as daunting. In the running world, there is a 5K, 3.2 miles. A 10K is 6.4 miles. A half marathon is 13.1 miles. A full marathon is 26.2 miles. Every benchmark is exactly twice as long as the previous milestone. I don't know - I will just run this 10K and then I will decide what I want to do.
