January Re-Cap

Hello ladies!! I hope you all had a wonderful day, TGIF right?! Well, I spent the day in classes and I went to work. OMG, work is really a weak point for me. It's always so much sweets and temptation to eat bad there. I brought my snacks but I also fell victim to a few pieces of candy and chips :( I'll do better tomorrow and Sunday I promise!

Well, as I said yesterday I would recap January.

On January 2nd I set mini goals to help me achieve my weightloss goals. They were:

Start and stick to WW [I started WW on 01/08 and have stuck with it thus far, losing 8lbs so far!]
Make encouragement cards to curb cravings [Sad to say I have only a few but I will do better this month]
Go to the doctor to ensure there are no health issues heading my weight loss process [Still haven't done that, gotta got my insurance straightened out but definately a priority]
Stay true to myself and watch for triggers that will tempt me to emotionally eat [I have done this. I know that work, emotions, cravings & boredum are triggers to tempt me to eat bad]
Make and keep myself accountable for exercising [I have]
Keep up with victory calendar AND make sure 90% of each month included exercise. [Well, since I started tracking on 01/06, I have worked out 19 of the 21 days]
PLAN,PLAN & PLAN! [This started out really well but since school has started I've slacked but never caused me to go over]

Ok, there goes my recap. I think I have come a ways since deciding that this year will be my year of change. I have recognized my weaknesses, been attentive to triggers, ate OP, exercised, stuck to my eating routines and most importantly have stayed true to myself.  I know EP and keeping track of what I eat is making a world of difference from previous times I've tried to lose weight. So I think I'm well on my way!

Didn't make it to the gym:( But I will have 5 workouts before Tuesday. I will go tomorrow after work, Sunday and twice on Monday since I don't have class until 10 I have NO excuse not to get up and go that morning.

My eating wasn't to hot today, you'll see below. I'm really worried about my WI Tuesday. But I have 3 days to be OP so hopefully it will reverse any bad damage. I just really don't want to see a gain but I won' dwell on it.

Today's eating:

B- Shipley's donut [my professor bought them for our class] grapes
S-Special K bar
L-Smart Ones Shrimp Marinara
S-String cheese, smart snack, wheat thins
D-Grilled cheese on wheat(had them at work) and handful of fritos:(
S-Orange
S-carrots, v8

Uuuh not awful but not to good either. I wish I wouldn't have been lazy and had the grilled cheese but atleast I got in my cheese for the day!

Ok, I'm off to get some rest before I have to get back up for work, I'm sleepy.

Have a good weekend ladies!

I would say that you had a great January.  Look at all you've accomplished.  I'm so proud of you! 

Oh,and I love Grilled Cheese!  YUM!

Good morning

I think you are doing a great job of focusing on Progress not Perfection.  Your January looks great!  I'm glad you are keeping up with the VICTORY calendar.  19 out of 21 times is excellent!  Just think how neat it's going to be to look back at the end of the year, and see all of your progress! 

Keep up the great work!

And truth be told...I don't think your intake yesterday was bad either.  Keep up the great work, I'm proud of you!
