So, weigh in was last Saturday and things went better than I expected.  I don’t want to wreck the surprise, so I won’t say just how much I lost, but it wasn’t too bad.  Losing a little bit of weight is definitely inspiring.  My next goal is to get myself back in the gym.  I will give myself until next Monday. 

So tomorrow is weigh-in day for this month.  I don’t think I’ve made much progress, but at least I am heading in the right direction.  I haven’t had a “bad” carb all week and I’m feeling pretty good.  I hope to show a couple pound loss, but we’ll have to wait to see what happens. 

I have been really struggling to get myself on track this entire month.  With weigh-in on the horizon, I have finally gotten myself together.  I am trying not to eat any “bad” carbs and just trying to keep my diet in check.  Easier said than done.  I didn’t think I would have such a hard time cutting down on the carbs, but it’s more difficult than I expected.  I don’t expect to have lost much, but a few pounds would be a good start. 

The flu has exited my house and things are finally calming down around here.  I went to the grocery and put together a plan for myself.   I typically diet like a beast and lose lots of weight very quickly and then have a difficult time keeping it off.  My goal is to take a slower and steadier approach this time.  I also plan to keep track of everything I am eating, because I find that awareness is the best weapon.  It’s much easier to frivolously eat when you aren’t aware of what you’re putting in your mouth.  I will also try to cut out most sugars and refined carbs. 

 

Last night at Aladdin’s was very nice.  I enjoyed talking to all of the folks in the contest.  It’s always nice to compare notes.  Good luck everyone!

My whole house has been taken over by stomach flu.  Not exactly what I had in mind for a diet plan.  I will write more once I’m back up and at em.
