Dangit! My ankle is starting to twinge. It started last night after my run. Ankle, didn't we have this discussion already and you are healed and aren't bothering my any more. Stop it now!

Thank goodness today is a swimming day. I might just skip running tomorrow to give the ankle an extra day to rest, but what I'm really worried about is soccer starting up again on Friday. I REALLY don't want to get hurt. And I haven't played in about 6 months, so I'm going to totally suck. But I'll have fun and maybe grab a little sip of confidence in the pre-game warm up at the bar. OMG, I just looked and the game doesn't start until 8:45 p.m. Dear gawd in heaven, my bed time has been 9:00 for a long time. How am I going to stay up that late?

In other breaking news, I've very cruelly decided to change my weigh-in day to Monday. Very cruel indeed, because I struggle over the weekends. I think that making myself accountable immediately following the weekend will make me track and make better choices during the weekend.

Thus far having a successful week. The weekend looms and that's a danger time for me. Here are my strategies for getting through the weekend:

1) I'm going to actually plan out every meal. Just like I do on the weekdays.

2) Carry snacks in my purse/car. No getting too hungry.

3) Will not let the husband take me "snack" shopping. I will stand my ground and tell him that if he wants snacks, he can get it himself and eat it before he gets home.

4) If we go to the movies, I will have cut up apples or pears. And smuggle in a water bottle.

5) Exercise on Saturday and Sunday. Even if it is just a quick walk with the dogs. However, I do plan on getting in at least one hot yoga session.

OK, that's it. On Monday, I'm going to grade myself on how well I did. The scale is going in a downward direction right now and I really like it. I know it's mostly water weight, but hell, I'll take it.

Well, at least I'm not gaining weight...I haven't been real serious about losing the pounds yet because I've been trying to get my house in order -- and by my house I mean my self. I also haven't been tracking but I feel like the other steps I've taken have been more important so that when I do start tracking (yesterday) I will be more successful:

1) Exercising. I've conquered the 6 am workouts again. And I've added the lunch time swimming and running 4 days a week. So, I'm seeing 9 workouts a week if I don't do anything on the weekends.

2) No more caffeine. Caffeine affects me strangely. When I drink caffeine - even the teensiest amounts in the morning -- I don't sleep at night. Sleep is VERY important for weight loss. And caffeine also makes me feel hungry all day. Don't know if it's that way for anyone else, but it is definitely that way for me.

3) No more cane or corn sugar. I just can't control myself around it. Honey, maple syrup, agave -- those things with a lower glycemic index don't affect me and don't make me wanna binge. I also don't get addicted to those sweeteners.


OK, so I've kicked all of those things that make me unsuccessful and I've added back the exercising (and next week I start playing soccer again) and now I'm ready to start cutting back the calories.

Yesterday was my first day of being serious about it and things went very well. I even had rib eye steaks for dinner and still stayed under my target calories. And I donated blood, which usually makes me want to over eat. I'm eating the other half of my steak with a salad today and I've got plans, baby. Plans!
