Well the last two weeks have been ridiculous... really the last week. Just absolute crap as far as doing what I should be doing to lose weight. I have eaten terribly! I have binged on candy, Mexican food, and just anything I could put in my mouth, I've put in my mouth. Part of the problem has been that my schedule has been crazy, and I didn't plan my meals well. The other problem has been that I'm just weak-minded and haven't been saying NO to temptations.
I'm a teacher at a small school, and we sell concessions every day. So I have access to free chips, free candy of all sorts, and free diet coke. The Candy is the problem.. REESE'S to be exact. There have been a few days that I've had 2-3 packages of REESE'S a day. It's embarrassing to admit that, but I hope that by admitting it, I can maybe stop the habit. I really hope so! Also, I only worked out I think 4 out of 7 days last week... .there were a lot of excuses for that too... tired, busy, the kids, schedule issues, etc. But last night, I had a talk with myself mentally and reminded myself that it's an hour a day... a MEASLY HOUR! So I got up and worked out last night, even though I'd eaten spaghetti and my stomach was so full and I wanted to watch American Idol.. but I didn't. I also completed Week 5 Day 2 yesterday of C25K! I had a really good workout.. I needed that boost of motivation. I jogged a total of 25 minutes. It's hard to believe that less than a month ago, I couldn't jog a total of 3 minutes without feeling like I was dying...literally DYING.
Today, I've already eaten a Reese's. My excuse.... I didn't have breakfast, so that was my breakfast and a 210 calorie breakfast isn't bad. But that's not a good excuse and tomorrow.. I'm packing breakfast. This last week, I also haven't logged my eating in My Fitness Pal. I think I do better when I do that. We also got paid, so I'm going to go to the grocery today and buy healthier foods again and plan out my meals, like I had been doing the first two weeks.
I know there are setbacks sometimes, and I know that a month in is about the time that I always give up... so I'm determined that this time I'm not giving up a month in. I'm dusting myself off and getting up and eating healthy and working out some more.
My goals this week:
1. Weight 265 at my next weigh in (lose 5 lbs)
2. Work out 6 of 7 days
3. Plan all meals and eat what I plan (stay between 1500 and 1800 calories).
4. Jog 2 miles straight
5. Do better about blogging my progress, and take pictures, finish setting up this blog.
6. Control my urges (especially Sunday... we have a birthday party and a super bowl party to attend).
