Day 50!

Holy crap I can't believe it is Day 50!!! Craziness.

OK, so here's the deal. I might know how to lose weight and as you can see through previous posts I am pretty successful at doing it when I work hard and eat right, but...I have a tendency to "get happy" with the way I look and just stop working as hard. Usually this happens at the 3 week mark. It is amazing to me that I made it through 40-something days without quitting. Well the last week or so I have been feeling the slippery slope of "getting happy". The next thing you know you look in the mirror and all of your hard work has gone down the drain. I am not going to let it happen this time.

I got to a weight that I hadn't been at in years...I bought new jeans that looked great...my parents were telling me I look too thin...When these types of things happen, your mind begins to think that you can pretty much eat whatever you want to and stay the same. Um, not true.

I am going to turn this slippery slope around for the first time in my life...

I worked a 12 hour shift today. The day went great as far as eating goes.

BF: HUGE glass of water, Cheerios (145), Snack: Zone bar (190), Lunch: grilled chicken (100), 1/2 grapefruit (60), Snack: sample of pasta the grocery store was cooking up (overestimate: 400...just to be sure, it had beef in it), Dinner: WW meal (280), lemonade (5), Snack: 1/2 of grapefruit (60)...1240.

  2. I completely understand what you mean! I was thinking that this morning.... I was looking in the mirror thinking "ya know.. I look pretty good.. I can chill with this whole diet thing" but reading this just reaffirmed my original goals! WE CAN DO THIS!! We're soooo close!

  4. I can totally relate. The praises everyone gives you gets to your mind. You think "wow, I must look really good"...then you start backsliding. I know first hand! I think from now on I will have to block the nice comments out of my mind so I don't get so lackadasical. Although, I love the compliments of losing weight. It makes you feel so good...
