Accountability Part II

I weighed in this morning at 3.4 lbs lighter than last week!!! I did not meet my goal of 6 days at the gym. I did, however, make it 5 days and ate well, except on Saturday and Sunday due to the holiday and my mother in law's birthday.

Today I got up and I went to the gym and increased my weights and stair stepping. I got back on track with my eating too.

I have decided to move my weigh in days to Monday. It will help me be good over the weekends. I'm looking forward to see what next week brings.

Accountability Part I

I just looked at my last blog entry and that was a looong time ago. Well, I still need to be accountable, so here it goes.

It was a rough start to working out and eating right. I have this love/hate relationship with food. It seems like I could just look at it and I gain 3 lbs.

So, I have put away all of my excuses and geared up for the long journey down to being 100 lbs less by the end of this year. I have said this in the past, but I am actually going to do it. When I took a long hard look at myself, I see someone who needed a real kick in the behind. I need to start small and keep going with my goals.

This week's goal:

Workout 6 days a week: weights, stairs, cardio
Eat: Only when hungry, high protein, fiber, lots of fruits and vegetables


Mid week status:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday workouts complete :)  Happy Dance!

Monday:
Breakfast: Lean breakfast quesadilla
Lunch: Grilled cheese (not healthy)
Snacks: strawberries, apple, pineapple, salad
Dinner: Cheese ravioli with small amount of sauce

Tuesday:
Breakfast: Lean breakfast quesadilla
Lunch:  WW swedish meatballs w/ carrots
Dinner: WW chicken paremaesan

Wednesday:
Breakfast: Total raisin bran (1 cup) + 1/2 cup of Almond milk, 1/2 apple
Lunch will be a WW meal
Dinner will be some kind of salad with dressing on the side as I'm going out to dinner tonight.

I have started following one of my friend's from Indy on Facebook about loosing weight and it has truly inspired me.

I know that there are many times I beat myself up over falling off the wagon. I have made a personal commitment this time around that if I mess up, that doesn't mean my day is ruined, I just need to acknowledge my screw up and move on.  Life's too short to dwell on the little things.

My other goal is to keep updating this blog weekly with my progress. Friday will be weigh in day and I will let you know my progress.
