I am 219.4 as of Oct. 2nd. I have reached my mini-goal (you round to the closest pound, right? hehehe) So happy to have broke through the 220s. I was a little afraid my body would hang out there for a bit. But, a little determination, running hills and mind over matter and viola! I'm starting to think that this weight loss stuff is essentially math. You have to strike an equation where you do not send your body into starvation, yet still maintain a sufficient caloric deficit. Sounds easy, right? Until you factor in that broccoli does not taste like cupcakes. And, that pizza was sent here from the Heavens. Bet you didn't know that. On the eighth day, the Lord was throwing some dough and sent down to Earth pizza so that man (and woman) could experience pleasure. Fortunately, I haven't had a total pizza breakdown, even if I just now effectively granted Papa John saint-hood. The husband, on the other hand, has announced that he is in fact buying pizza tonight for himself and the kids. I had read here about "Indulgence Day" in helping you get through a plateau. He tried it once and it worked. So he has announced his intentions of doing that very thing again tonight...with the exception that he doesn't refer to it as an "Indulgence Day" but rather a "F' it Day" (which, by the way, is not a fancy way of saying 'fit'). I am looking at a very, very long day at work. I probably won't be home before 9pm. Ordinarily I would be sort of bummed about that, but I don't particularly want the "F it Day" to seep over to me. I will have to pack a protein bar to take to work with me though, in addition to my standard lunch fare. I am not a huge fan of eating protein bars due to the amount of calories and sugars they tend to have. The protein bars I have on hand aren't from a health store, but rather a local grocery. But, I will have to make due and I can't go nine full hours without eating anything or I will be starving when I get home and will likely tear through the house in hopes of finding a leftover from the husband's "F it Day".
Every other month I have to work with someone who is very difficult. This person tends to stress me to the point of tears...and consequently I eat. Today I will be working with this person (and for the next 30 days). This person clearly does not care for me, value my opinion or see me as anything more than a warm body taking up space. I do enjoy my job. But, I don't enjoy working with this person. I know I need to handle it better. Rather than becoming so upset, I am going to try to keep my focus on my healthy living journey. So today, I am looking in the mirror before I go to work and saying to myself "Whatever is said, whatever is done, I will keep on track". I hope this will keep me from emotional binge eating. And, in a twist of silent revenge, I hope to outlive this person. Ha.
Ok, I may go to Hell for that. No saintly pizza for eternity.
I do happen to have lean cuisine frozen pizza on stock should I find myself in a pinch and decide I absolutely must have pizza. I intend on weighing in Saturday though as it is my two month marker since I got back on track. I really wish to forgo pizza until then, amp up my protein and hopefully see another drop between now and then. Not enough time to drop to 215, unless I voluntarily surrender a limb or something. But, I am pretty satisfied with where I am right now even if I am not 215 by the start of my third month. That being the case, I think I should go ahead and set a goal for November 5th, which will be the start of my fourth month. I am going to shoot for 205. I don't know that I will achieve it. But, that is the number I am focused on. It is a lot easier for me to focus on a monthly goal than to be overwhelmed by my ultimate goal of 135 lbs.
In any event, I am off to the dragon's lair today. Wish me luck! Ha
