The scale shows another loss for today. I've been really good at staying around 1200 calories for the month of August but not dropping weight as quickly as July (during which my calories were all over the place). My macros are pretty good too. More protein than carbs, and more carbs than fat. I'm staying active but not exercising. I'm still struggling with a few things. Some days are better than others.
Good news...hubby is coming home Tuesday! We thought he'd be away through the end of the month, but they finished early. My spirits are officially lifted. He doesn't know that I've reshaped my body over the last 6 weeks so this should be an interesting reunion. Oh boy, lots of butterflies in my belly today.
Hope you're all strong today!

uh whatever. not feeling it today. it takes so much energy to control everything. my body and mind are not cooperating. it's too much. yeah yeah, lifestyle change.
I bought a couple of frozen meals with a coupon. The 300 calorie kind. Yuck. I bought a bag of frozen strawberries and I'm going to try a protein shake for the first time later. I also tried a Skinny Girl Protein Bar (the choco pretzel one). It was tasty but 7 fat grams and 2.5 saturated fat. Yuck. I have no problem with fat but I hate for it to come from fake food.
I got a sunburn yesterday and I'm really pissed about it. My pool guests didn't bring their own and applied my spray liberally with none left for me.
nothing good to share. hope you're all strong today.

Well, the scale made yesterday's first "no beer" day worth it. I ate way more calories than I usually do when I have my Michelob ultra light beers but still stayed under rdi. After just 36 hours of no alcohol, I dropped 3 pounds. My next official weigh in day is the 15th, so I'm not recording it in my weight history. That alone should be enough to keep me motivated to stay away from the drink, but my mind is already making plans on how I can sneak it in. A friend is coming to the pool today and she'll likely bring a tasty cocktail. That's our thing- cocktails and gossip by the pool. Yesterday I did alright- I wasn't thinking about it too much. I read almost an entire book so that kept my mind busy. But, after I put the kid to bed and had a quiet moment, I really wanted a jigger of gin and an icy beer. I'm sure that if I had a drop in the house, I would have made it happen. But there's not a drop here. Believe me, I looked, more like searched in vain for a bottle hidden in the way back, but it wasn't there. So instead, I had peanut butter on saltines and 10 Swedish fish. I definitely don't want to trade a beer habit for a peanut butter and Swedish fish habit. ugh. I hope I can make it through today. I really want to abstain until the 15th. That would make 8 days in a row of no alcohol. Can I do it? Oh gosh, day 2 is only beginning.

Alright. I'm ready for the next level. I struggled to find a new comfort zone, and well, I guess I'm feeling comfortable. I drink too much alcohol for this "lifestyle change." I'll still indulge when I want to but I can't be drinking a bunch of beer EVERY day. Even though I'm playing in the hot sun by the pool. I hope this won't be a problem. I just have to treat it like a bad food choice. I'm afraid my mind is going to give me trouble. I had been putting three beers in the fridge every morning so that they'd be cold by afternoon time, but then some days I found myself throwing an extra in the freezer. Then I got used to just throwing another and another in there. It needs to stop. I have 19lbs left. I can't lose 19 pounds drinking 500 calories of beer each day. I drank the last one before bed. No more beer in the house. My reward is weight loss and a smaller belly.
Hope you're all strong today.

Well, I had an off day yesterday at the beach but it was just one of those days where I had to go with the flow. We're over 125 miles from the Jersey shore, so that paired with beach traffic means we have to leave super early. I didn't pack dinner and was lacking willpower after battling strong waves all day so I kinda lost it at the end but it was well worth it. I appreciate the value of enjoying time "off the plan." I am holding steady at 169lbs, 6 days in a row now. I know why it hasn't gone down and I'm just glad it hasn't gone up. I'm feeling ok with it. My little Des was so brave yesterday and I bet with just a few days practice, he'd be swimming like a pro in the ocean. He told my in-laws all day that "mommy is counting calories to get healthy," and later said "I'm afraid we won't get to work out today, Ma." He's so sweet. I'm keeping it together today and plan on going to bed early tonight. Hope you're all having a good day. Stay strong!
