Water. I love water. It must be ice cold, but I can get used to drinking this.
That’s what I am trying to tell myself today as I’ve been jonesing for a Diet Coke since 11 am.
The snack machine has a new kind of Sun Chips – Garden Salsa. They are yummy, but I’m sure having the grapefruit sitting on my desk would be a better plan.
This whole thing is going to be a battle with myself.
Tonight – I play tennis for an hour. Maybe I can burn off the Sun Chips I just ate.
So I am on Week 1 of the running program (which I haven’t started yet and it’s Thursday) and Week 2 of writing down everything I eat. I’m not really sure it’s helping that much, but I do feel guilty when I write down “cheeseburger” or “Peanut M&Ms”.
At least, I am recognizing that I have bad habits.
The problem is that I was once very skinny and in shape. And I could eat anything I wanted then, because I was playing tennis all the time and had a killer metabolism.
Now, I am so beyond where I even in a million years thought I would be.
Fridays are weigh-in days. Last Friday was the first one and I had lost 1 lb. I’m worried that tomorrow will be incredibly disappointing because I don’t feel like I have done anything substantial in my weight loss efforts.
All I’ve done this week is start listening to “The Secret” on my way to and from work and continue to write down what I am eating. I did receive a copy of a Weight Watchers book from a co-worker, but I don’t think I need to do the point system because I can’t figure it all out – especially with the cold cuts and various stuff I eat that are not on “the point list.”
Ugh.
I have date goals. June 9th is the golf tournament where I run into people I haven’t seen for a year.
July 26th is our summer vacation to P-Town.
If this chart becomes too far from reality, I will redo it. I also am hoping that not too many people out there are actually reading this blog, because I am putting my weight on it, and that’s incredibly embarrassing.
No more excuses. I am the heaviest I have ever been. This is so ridiculous!
We just had the baby shower and I feel embarassed. I feel embarassed that the pictures we will have forever are of me so damn fat.
April 2nd was my starting date.
I am writing down every single thing I eat. And I am starting the “Couch to 5K” in 9 weeks podcast.
I have lofty goals, but something’s gotta happen.
Here we go!!!
