Taking One Day at a Time


Well, today, there was no change on the scale. Just pushing forward anyhow and hoping for the best. I have 4 days until my actual weigh in day so I hope that things start moving along a little bit better. The weight loss has slowed dramatically. I think that I lost 10 lbs within 7 days, so that means that over the past 4 days, I've only lost 2 or so, so I hope that things start moving a little better. It's certainly possible that when I went out Friday night that some sugar was in those hot wings or the dipping sauce and if so that may explain why things have slowed down so much. Ketostix don't tell me much, so I can't look to that. But I may have to try to get into ketosis all over again. I was a little hungry this morning, so who knows?

I am still going to push myself hard in hopes to reach the goal I have made for myself this month. I don't really have the same motivation since we are not going away, but we are going out to dinner. I think I really need to find a nice dress to wear so that I can look really nice that nice. Something to look forward to. Maybe it can be a dress that I already have that is a little snug that will probably fit better by the end of the month. I just can't believe that it is already the 11th. That means that I have exactly 20 days until the end of the month. Given that I lost 10 lbs in 7 days, it is possible that I can accomplish alot. I don't think that I have shrunk enough to be in the 170's yet. At least my body doesn't think so. My mother suggests eating more fish and that may be a route that I have to go ultimately, but since I am not a HUGE fish fan, I will wait on that a bit. I think the main thing is I don't quite know how to prepare it, but probably if I find some good recipes, it will taste good.

This morning before the meeting, I did Biggest Loser workout - Low Intensity Cardio. It was tough AGAIN, but that is good. I like to be challenged and I know that Challenge=Change. So I push myself, but those lunges and squats seem to go on forever.

So I am at work on break, but it is about over. I've brought chicken that I panfried, pork rinds and revolution bread to eat throughout the course of the day. Hopefully I am doing all the right things to reach my goal for the month. Only time will tell.

It's a little later on in the day (8:30 p.m.) and I'm feeling a tad discouraged. While I can certainly tell that I am leaning out very well, it's disheartening to know that I am 180 lbs again. I have fought this battle already and here I am fighting it again. That along with the fact that I really, really want some french fries and some chocolate. I hate that I am feeling this way. I am only 11 days into the month, but it doesn't change the fact that I am feeling this way. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Tomorrow is a new day.
