I Suck

March 14, 2011

I'm pretty disappointed in myself. At my weigh-in on Friday I was up 0.6 lbs. I wasn't expecting a big loss since I technically lost over 4lbs the week before, but I wasn't hoping for a gain of any sort.

Where I think I went wrong: I'll admit, I was intentionally not eating all my daily points and I know that's something you are not supposed to do. I think my body was in "starvation mode" and clinging to every calorie and gram of fat that I did eat.  This week I am going to focus on drinking lots of water and eating all of my daily points.

However, I am even more disappointed in myself because not only did I not run my 3miles on Friday, I didn't run at all last week since my lame 1 mile run on Monday. I haven't run in a week. L.A.Z.Y.

My 5k is in 20 days and there is no excuse for this.

Today I am going to run 1.5 miles, Wednesday 3 miles and another 1.5miles over the weekend (aiming for Saturday).

I pledge to all of my fellow followers that I will make these distances happen this week.

Hope your week went and is going better than mine.

bad. Bad. BAD.

February 9, 2010

So this week I have been bad. Bad. BAD. Started with the weekend and eating a few naughty things without too much remorse. (bad) Then on Monday I got promoted at work, so my man and I went out for my favorite Sushi dinner. (Bad) Then yesterday was taco Tuesday and well since I had just gotten promoted, it was time to celebrate with my friends with $2.50 margaritas and guacamole. (BAD).

I am terrified to get on the scale, I feel sooooo gross and I know I won't like what it tells me. I know I should not worry about it too much - I have to live life once in awhile and indulge when it's appropriate (like celebrating a promotion), but I hate feeling that the hard work over the past month can so easily be lost. I hate the my body is so stubborn to shed any weight, but so eager to gain it back after a day or two of less than I ideal eating.

Ugh. I am supposed to go to the gym tonight with my boyfriend and bff to train for my 5k followed by a yoga class. Honestly, right now all I want to do is eat some nasty greasy hang-over breakfast.

It's probably a blessing in disguise that the McDonald's drive-thru line was too long this morning for me to be on time for work. I guess my hangover will just have to be satisfied with my 4pt+ oatmeal....

Week 2 Weigh In

January 14, 2011

I weighed in today and while WW says I gained 0.2lbs, let it be known that when I weighed myself at home stark naked, I was 159.7. So I am going to keep telling myself I have officially broken 160. Either way, I am just grateful that my weight wasn't a worse number this week. After spending nearly a week and a half with Matt's (mid western) parents, it was VERY difficult to eat the way I wanted to. I am proud of myself to pretty much have maintained and not gained during that time.

This week I am going to focus on eating more chicken and drinking more water. I've been bad about training for my 5k the past week, but I'll be up first thing in the morning to go for a run.
