Fallin Into The Trap...Already!

OMG! Today was the FIRST day back going to classes and being into the groove of school. Reuniting with friends, PARTY tonight and OMG I can feel myself slipping into the lazy girl I was last semester. I can NOT let this happen! I've worked damn hard this past month to get myself to a point where I can lose weight and a system that works. Ugh. I'm not over my points for the day but I am like .5 away and I know we're going to be drinking tonight. I know I shouldn't but going to a party here sober is the worst. I have some really good margarita mix I want to have but I'm not sure about it's points value. I know I have the 35 extra points. I may have to use some and then just be extra strict for the rest of the week.

I really am so scared to gain any of those 8lbs back! Going back to school is proving to be tougher than I thought. It's just that I have so long between breakfast and lunch. And I brought snacks but had no time to eat them. I had an orange but I can bust out an orange and eat it in class. So when I get home I want something big to fulfil me, I need to find an alternative to this! Any ideas?

I'm not making it to the gym today either :( I had to get my hair done(it was OVERDUE) and then had to find another class to replace this OVER THE TOP english class I dropped. The professor was just too much for me. She spent 20 minutes talking about HERSELF and her life...That's nice but for 20 minutes?! WHO CARES LADY?? By the time that got all situated and then I want to party with my friends, it's the first party of the year...I guess dancing in a scorching hot ballroom for 3 hours can count as some exercise right?

I WILL BE IN THE GYM EVERYDAY GOING FORWARD...I guess I can count this as my day off, as I've worked out 4 days in a row and my ankle was really bugging me. So I'll take today off and get back on it Thursday-Sat. My bf might be coming Saturday and staying til Sunday and if he doesn't come my mom wants to. Seeing as how it's been 3 weeks since I've seen him and a month since I've seen my mom, I'm going to skip the work out to spend time with him/her. If he leaves before the gym closes I'll go.

I gotta find away around these obstacles! I am so determined to get to ONEderland!! I'm only 8lbs away. I'm so determined, I can't let these minor setbacks hinder me.

Ok, I'm gonna get ready to party, you ladies have a good night!

P.S.- Thanks for the congrats on the weightloss, I was more excited about the weightloss because I got to come here and share with you girls than showing off to my peers.

Dancing

IS exercise. You'll burn tons of exercise that you can permit yourself 1 or 2 drinks..or get drunk on low cal stuff (I found low-cal smirnoff the other day..lol) You can get drunk on 500 cals..yup..lol..so if you calculate it..3 hours of dancing is like 1000 calories burnt minus the 500 cals you still burned 500 cals in the end..well..without putting in consideration that alcohol slows down your metabolism to be sure not to eat while you drink =P

Hope you had fun!!!

Party Girl

Sounds like you got tons of exercise at the party.  Watch that alcohol, though!  Too much will really screw up your plan.  Good luck this semester!

Don't worry

I know that you will very soon figure out a routine that works well for you and your weight loss.

Shake your shimmy, girl!

Have a good time at the party!  Bust a move for me!

I'm sure you'll have a good time this weekend with either mom or bf.  Enjoy yourself, and yes, 3 hours of dancing is exercise!

Hey

Congratulations on your loss!!!

I know how it is going to school. Some days I have 6 hours of class before getting a break, and when I do I admittedly usually go to McDonalds or Taco Bell and eat 9-10 points. While I calculate that into my points for the day, it's not exactly healthy, and after sitting in class all day I want more than a snack.

So I guess that's not really a suggestion. But anyway. You have to just let yourself "enjoy the night" and not worry about points sometimes. Just as long as you stay motivated.
