Day 19 - Not Impressed

I'm just posting to shame myself really, LOL. I'm currently only about 2 pounds down. Today's official weigh in was 153.4. It could have been better

In the last 19 days, I have had one retreat weekend with students, (no vegetables included), and been sick twice: once with a migraine and nausea, and a week of sinus stuff from the fires burning down all the cedar. Needless to say my fitness road isn't as straight and narrow as I'd like.

I brought veggies on my student retreat ( I was a leader...not a student) but ran out of time and never actually cut them up...therefore I carried them around all weekend on refrigerator bag. 10 points for carrying them with me. 1 million negative points for not eating them. I did make a few healthy choices: drank mostly water all weekend, picked a decent meal at Pei Wei. But it doesn't matter, cinnamon rolls, pancakes and bacon, cookies....it all adds up.

My goal this week is to stay and the mostly straight and narrow, and utilize my skinny cow dream cookies...actually really good! But focus on the weekend. Have some food prepared to eat. The weekends are my pitfall. I get hungry, and lazy, then don't do anything but eat the worst stuff I can find. Or gobble up food I might be making for other people...case in point: Sunday Caleb brought home about 2 dozen cookies and a few brownies to give to his work buddies. By about 11pm, I was pretty hungry, from not eating enough throughout the day anyway. SO what do I do? I cave and make a grilled cheese sandwhich with 2 pieces of cheese, and about 3 huge brownies.....UM, not okay. Seriously: I'm only eating 1350 or so calories a day. My metabolism just isn't that great anymore. Luckily, I've noticed, even when working out, I'm not starving with this many calories, so I think I am ok.

8 weeks till my birthday. And at this point I'd have to have to lose more than a pound a week. Sigh. It's my fault.

That's OK. I'll do better this weekend.
