more than just talking about it

Week 29 Results: I gained 1 lb.

Not exactly the direction we are supposed to be going in. Actually I gained last week too, but that was 100% my water pill. In fact, last week I gained a total of 5.2 lbs with my water pill, so to report a 2.6 gain was good.

This week was all me and a lack of effort. My head has been in the wrong place ever since I went off my water pill. Knowing that I was going to show a gain last week no matter what messed with my head and I wasn't as careful as I normally am. I measured a little less. Then last week I was all about getting that extra 2.6 lbs off, but I really wasn't feeling it, I was faking it. But I was faking it really well, on top of the food and exercise. Then on Friday we went out to Chicago to celebrate my mom's b-day and I allowed myself to indulge in a burger, fries and ice cream cookie dessert. I should have know that in my weakened state, I should stick to the plan 100%, but I didn't. And unfortunately, I continued to make exceptions all weekend. So now it's Monday and it showed on the scale.

I know that the thing to do is get back on plan 100%, no exceptions. All I need is a couple good weeks to get right back where I was, on the scale as well as mentally. This can either be the event that threw me off the horse or it can be a blip in the radar. I choose a blip in the radar. I am fully aware that I am standing on the edge and the decisions that I make in the next 10-14 days will seal my fate. I am committing to weighing and measuring EVERYTHING and to daily exercise. I know how to do this and I also know how easy it is to slip right back into old habits.

I will be posting more in the next couple days to keep myself more accountable until I get past this. I need to see 100 lbs lost!
