Had a
really
bad weekend. Went to the bar on Friday, so I ate a lot of greasy food and drank more than I should had, then went out to dinner on Saturday, then completely stuffed my face with pizza, tiramisu, wine, and some other treats on Sunday. Given, it was really all I ate on Sunday, but I still felt absolutely guilty about it. I'm getting back into the swing of things this week, though I've found that, thanks to my constant slips as of late, working out is getting harder and harder. I've gotten a few DVDs that aren't quite as intense as some of the stuff I was doing before to work myself back up to speed, so I should be able to get back into the swing of things within the next few weeks.
I'm really not happy with myself
at all
after this passed weekend, but we all have our slip ups from time to time. It's all a matter of getting a grip on myself again and focusing on what I really want out of this. I was doing so well for a while there, no point in letting it all go to waste!

Feeling really sore today. I did about 15 minutes worth of straight ab work on Monday, and though I was sore yesterday from it, I did a bit more with my workout. Kind of regretting it a little! But it's been so long since I've actually felt sore the day after a workout that, as annoying as it is, I've missed it.
Ordered two new workout videos a few days ago, should be in by the end of the week. I already have a bunch of them, but these are a little more low-key and would be good for days when I'm feeling sluggish but need a little something-something to get my heart rate up a bit so I'm not being lazy the entire day. The weather's been super bad lately, so I can't necessarily go out for a walk or ride my bike around the neighborhood. Sort of limits what I can do since I really prefer taking my bike out more than anything. I'd really like to go rollerblading but I'm always worried I'm going to fall over, haha. I have pretty bad balance.
I've been hankering for a ton of fruit and veggies lately, so I've been whipping up some simple fruit salads to gnash on throughout the week. I've also been trying to cut back a little on all the meat I used to consume, maybe even go without it for a day or two a week, just to see what that does. Couldn't hurt.

I've been kind of bad about my eating habits lately. Not that I've been eating poorly in general - which I have, I ate out more than I would like to had done this past weekend - but more along the lines as I've been trying to eat as few calories as possible. Normally that's sort of what one is going after when they're trying to lose weight, but I haven't been doing it in a very productive way, so now I've gotten to the point where I just want to snack incessantly. I've fallen into the trap of wanting to lose as much weight as I can in as short of amount of time as possible, and that's a
horrible
thing to do to yourself. The chances of my reverting back to old eating habits and stuffing my face is much more probable than if I just ate a bit more than I would probably like, but still fall below my 1,600 calorie a day intake and actually feel fulfilled rather than starving at the end of the day.
Since I've weighted myself today, I've noticed I've at least dropped some weight, but I'll probably gain a bit of it back if hardly lose much at all in the coming weeks as I try to regain a better grip on my eating habits and become healthier. Losing weight shouldn't come at the expense of my health and the last thing I want to do is revert to old ways because I'm absolutely
starving
and the need to put whatever food is around me down my throat is stronger than my will to keep with what I have going. Even if I have been a little lax in it as of late, haha.
I've noticed that, since I've stopped eating more fulfilling meals and became far too concerned with calories, I've been having a harder and harder time working out. I'm too tired to or simply tire out too quickly because I'm running on fumes. It's not a good feeling at all. I went for a bike ride around the neighborhood yesterday and found it so incredibly difficult to manage even my usual four miles, but I did push myself! Alas, I've apparently slowed down, so I did nowhere near as well as I usually would.
It's a sad feeling to know I was doing so well and now I'm starting to slowly dwindle all because of the fact that I've become so obsessed over how I appear that I've become too focused on trying to eat next to nothing. As a result, I have just been snacking a bunch, which is probably a lot of what's effecting my energy. That's a very negative way to look at what I'm doing - I should be doing this for myself, to be healthy! - but life changes as of late have made it hard for me to think otherwise. I'm trying to, though! I had a much more positive and proper outlook on all of this when I first started back in March. Starting a relationship can really start to alter one's thought process, sadly.
So this week is dedicated to eating right, eating healthy, not caring about dropping so many pounds in next to no time at all, and making myself happy. I'm already proud I've dropped below 120lbs, I haven't been below that weight - or, hell, even 125! - in
years
! I think it was junior high when I was last able to fit into a size 5 pant and I'm there now! It's a good feeling!

Felt pretty darn lazy when I added up everything I ate when I was at Six Flags yesterday (and I know I forgot something as I ate once I got home as well, but it was so late I honestly can't really recall what it was) and did my best to stick to healthier meals today. Exercising really didn't happen as planned, it's raining for the next few days, so going for a much wanted bike ride isn't happening. I could go to the gym, but it's really not the same as having the wind through my hair and riding around the neighborhood, so I'll have to make do with some other things for the time being.
However! Despite having fallen off track yesterday, I tried on a few articles of clothing today and found out that I can actually fit in a vest that I couldn't even button close when I bought it last year! Which begs the question why I even bought it to begin with, but that's alright, since it was a nice little boost that let me realize just how much weight I've actually managed to lose. It's a nice motivator, considering where I was this time last year. Depression made me balloon horribly - I looked through some photos of myself just before the year ended and, man, I was a lot larger than I thought I had been - and I'm proud I managed to pull out of that funk and then some. Now to just keep sticking with it and I'll look the best I ever have and feel great!
