every little bit counts
Very proud of myself
today.
I had a doctors
appointment this morning. So my plan was to do my first thing in the
morning hike afterwords, but when I was headed to the appointment the
weather was blazing. I've been going really hard with my exercise for
a week and a half and I'm due for a muscle recovery day. So I decided
today would be that day. But a break day for me still means walking.
No bumming it on the couch for me. So, I added in 45 minutes of
walking on top of what I do around town anyway.
Also, I'm going out to
dinner with friends tonight, which means today will also be my
indulgence day for the week. But for me, indulgence day means I still
have to eat reasonably that day even if I'm not maintaining my usual
calorie count. So I planned an even smaller than usual breakfast and
lunch. And I stuck to it. EVEN though we went to my favorite cafe for
lunch, and I REALLY wanted that waffle, I chose something within my
calorie plan in anticipation of a larger than usual dinner tonight.
I rock. Go me. Onward to
skinny.

stats, weight and daily calorie counts
I am replacing my weekly progress report with a daily calorie and exercise count. I think knowing that I will have to post that information every day will be extra motivation. I will also update weekly with the result of my Thursday weigh-in. Check it out in the tab above, or here.
Wish me luck and stay skinny!

me sabotaging me
So, when I weighed myself
today my weight went down a little bit, to 146.8, but it's still not
as low as it was a couple of weeks ago. Whatever, I'm a big girl, I
told myself I wasn't going to get discouraged as long as I was
losing. But still, in the back never-quiet corners of my paranoid
brain I was thinking “What gives?”
Well, I was
diligently doing my food diary and calorie count tonight, and since
it was the 31st,
I went back and looked at my daily totals for the month. Low and
behold, I stuck to my goal only a third of the days.
Suckage. Major suckage.
Granted, most of those
other days I was only a one or two hundred calories out of that
range, I guess thinking since I was exercising two hours that day it
was okay.
“Self, isn't that
kind of attitude what got you up to 155 pounds in the first place?”
“Oh, yeah.”
“So, isn't the fact you
truly stuck to your goal a third of the days, and still managed to
lose about 10 pretty amazing?”
“I guess so.”
“Doesn't that mean
if you stick to that goal more, the weight will come off faster?
“Sounds logical.”
“And you know that
goal is realistic and doable, because you already do it a third of
the time AND haven't killed anyone in a hunger rage yet?”
“You know, you're
right! The only thing I've been doing wrong is letting my old
attitude get in the way. I totally CAN do this. I know what works for
me. I just need to stick to it! Thanks self.”
“No problem... uh,
self?”
“Yeah?”
“Put down that
second taco.”
“Oh, yeah.”
And so, that's that. I'm a
total dope. I was getting down on the universe for my lack of
progress, and it turns out it's just me sabotaging me. Typical. But
I'm in the know now and this little issue won't slip by unobserved
again. I planned my meals for the first day of June well within my
calorie limit. I'm also considering posting a daily calorie count as
motivation.
Onward to awesome!

motivation: sweat pants
Good reason to lose weight:
So you can wear sweat pants and sandals and look like this:

Motivated yet? I just put down my fork... to laugh my ass off without stabbing myself in the eye!
