Day 14...

I made some goals for March and so far I already dropped one of them... Taking my vitamins everyday. I have to figure out a way to remember to take them everyday. I just haven't figured that out yet. 

With no binge eating... Well it's Day 14 and I am struggling!!! I feel so hungry. I had a light lunch because I have a bigger calorie dinner planned. Then I have oatmeal planned tonight after small group, where I hope they don't have snacks because I'm afraid I will binge. Social situations typically push me to binge or eat more than I would have. Last night I had friends come over. They were eating 3 to 4 pieces of pizza each... I had ONE and a salad. That was not my own will power though. God was helping me to make that decision to eat well. We had ice cream later... I weighed everything out to stay on target. It was tough, but it was worth it. I didn't work out yesterday or today and that is making me anxious because I don't like to not work out, but I know I need to rest. I'll get back at it in the morning and will continue to eat well. 

On a positive note when I weighed in on Saturday I was down 3.6 pounds!!! So I don't want to binge knowing that what I'm doing is working... Drinking lots of water to try and get through. Typically I would turn to food right now because I'm stressed out, but I will make it. I just have to keep focusing on my goals and where I want to be in a few months. 

I'm going to grab a snack that was part of dinner, but hopefully it will help me get through the day instead of bingeing on junk.

Plateau

I have been trying to pinpoint what went wrong with my journey. I'm stuck. I just identified what has trumped me... The Food Scale.  I got a scale for my birthday to weigh my food because I had read that it was more accurate. Well since I got the scale I feel more deprived. Now this probably isn't the case for everyone, but it is for me. I am going to eat what I want without weighing. I'm going back to old fashioned measuring cups and seeing if that helps me to be able to stay on target. So I packed my lunch for tomorrow WITHOUT weighing my peanut butter, carrots, and grapes. I simply threw some in a bag and have them for lunch tomorrow. I'm going to try this. I've been very off since April with my weight loss journey. This is the only thing I can identify, oh and that I'm done with grad school, but I think obsessing over weighing my food is not beneficial for my weightloss journey. Now it may be different for each one of you, but for me this is what I'm goi...

Summer

A lot has happened since I last posted in April! We bought a house!!! It's a work in progress and definitely has been worth it though. We almost have our living room in one piece! Just some wainscoting and shiplap for a wall. It's been a good experience. We still have 4 rooms to work on. Some are just paint others are more wallpaper stripping 😰... My weight loss journey hasn't been going well. I'm at a bad place where I lost sight of my new lifestyle. Today has started off much better than the past. I took the day off work. I made eggs and sausage for breakfast and am enjoying a protein shake for lunch. We have dinner plans so I'm trying to behave a little bit this morning/ afternoon so I can thoroughly enjoy dinner. I'm considering today a starting over point. It's gotta happen for me to be happy. Is it going to be hard.... Yep. But will it be worth it.... Yes!

The why

I decided to start watching this season's Biggest Loser. Jillian made an interesting comment. She was reminding contestants about why they were there. Why am I on this journey? Why am I working to lose another 30 pounds? Why? 1. I am going to lose this weight to be HEALTHY. Heart disease, Type 2 Diabetes, and high cholesterol run in my family. 2. I am going to lose this weight to be happy, confident, and "me". 3. I am going to lose this weight to open doors for future opportunities. 4. I am going to lose this weight for my future family. 5. I am going to lose this weight in order to maintain my weight. How am I going to lose the last 30 pounds? 1. I am going to plan my meals throughout the week. 2. I am going to measure my portions. 3. I am going to work out 3 to 4 times a week (Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday) 4. I am going to get enough sleep. 5. I am going to stop buying chocolate snack bars that tempt me to eat more than 1 serving.
