Another day in paradise

This weekend??  Not so good. 

After my triumphant run on Friday (GO ME!!!), I fell into a slump.  That involved food.  This slump started in Vegas and I have not been able to get out from it, you know? 

I can see the extra pounds on me….I can feel them also.  So perhaps I am able to gain 7 true pounds in one week. 

And as you know, at my WI I lost but only .8.  SO that means that 6 of those 7 pesky pounds that I gained……that I had before worked SO hard to lose…..have remained on my body.  UGH!!!

Of course, I am not happy about this and my lack of motivation is not helping me at all.  lol.    So today I will employ something that I have always said when I feel like this.  Fake it till you make it.  That’s right.  Pretend. I. care. lol.   Pretend that I am motivated.  Be conscious at every meal.  Carefully consider what I put into my mouth before I do it.  How is that for a novel idea??  lol. 

I am tired.  TOM Is around the corner and so I am sure that has a lot to do with the mood I am in and why I am so tired.  But seriously, I need to pull myself out of this before it goes any longer.  So today is the day where I yell STOP and do what I know is right.  Water, Dairy, Journal, Exercise.  Just the basics.

I know that the fire will come back to me….it always does.  So if I just focus on getting in my 4 basics for the day….just for today..then I am in a better place than I was yesterday. 

Oh…and guess what?  I am going to be tested today.  You know why?? My boss just brought in not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 pies into the office. 

*grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

Onward and Downward!

Pies!

Ya know if you want to dream, just think about how you can throw those pies at others! Then you have to get back in reality and face those pies like a deadly disease! You can do it! Your motivation is right there with you, I know you can do it!

I know how you feel, after vacations for me and being off track it sends me and my body in this crazy loop! You can get out of it, one step at a time!

good job on your amazing run!!! Keep on running!!!!

Happy Monday!

Wish I could help

What can I say to get you going?  Hmm...  sometimes you've just go to DO IT, no matter how crappy you're feeling.  Do you have some kind of workout plan?  Do you prepare healthy foods ahead of time so they're handy when you want to snack?  In order to be successful, you really have to plan ahead - then doing the "right thing" becomes automatic.

Good luck to you!

Scary!

I just got back from vacation and gained 4 lbs myself. I hope I can lose them as well. We have to do this and take off this extra weight we gained and we can't let it ruin our weight loss progress. I think that's a good idea, just pretend you care and keep going. I'm gonna do the same thing. We just need to get back into our routine and it take a while to do that after being out of routine.

Oh, man!

If you lose your motivation, what's going to happen to me?  Come on girl!  Get back on that horse.  Vacation is over and you've got to get back on track.  I'm giving you the same TOUGH LOVE that you gave me.  Yes, fake it til you make it!  How do you feel after  you eat the wrong foods?  Do you feel better?  No, I didn't think so.  You are going to get it back, I know it!  It's so hard.  But you have the will and the determination.  Plus, you have THE DRESS!

so...

...who won, you or the pies?  My money is on YOU, but then, I would NEVER bet against the KBB.

Eek!!

I hope you managed to stay away from the pies.  And, I hope you find your motivation.

Right there with you

UGH. . .I've been eating and drinking crap all week long.  I just can't seem to get out of this slump either.  I'm going to attempt the couch to 5K.  We'll see how this goes.  I'm scared to death, but I've got to do something.

Need to buy running shoes. . . and go from there.  Getting DH up at butt crack of dawn to go with me. 

Probably should go to bed before midnight.

Hang in there.
