What I thought would be a nightmare-ish week actually ended pretty week. Last Monday, I did work until 1AM, serving french toast, eggs, bacon, saussage, etc - but it was to the point I didn't even want to look at that type of food ever again. So I didn't have a single stitch. The birthday lunch on Wednesday, I went to hell with myself with canolis. We ended up not going to the party, but did make up with it by going out for a big Italian dinner. But nonetheless, I lost 3.5 from my lowest, finally reaching the below 200 goal of 198.5. I was very excited.
I'm back!

Serenity NOW!
I don't know what the hell is going on. I lost all motivation and it seems the worse I am, the worse I get. I wish I could blame it on the holidays, but I'm not sure. I just feel like social obligations keep getting in the way of staying on track. I've gone from strong to stuffed with food. And I hate the way I feel when I eat to that point. And I wake up starving, which starts the whole cycle again.
This week I'm volunteering for an event at the university monday night until 1:00AM tuesday morning, wednesday I have a catered birthday lunch, saturday I have a Christmas cocktail party. It never ends, and before you know it, the following week is Christmas and New Years. If I keep it up the rate I'm going, I'll have gained 10 pounds back by the new year. I already feel more bloated than normal, and I've only gained 2.5 lbs.
Last Saturday I was down to 202 - only three pounds away from below 200. I've gotten through the wedding, and now I'm up to 205.5 (granted I got my period today). I need motivation!

Spin me, spin me not.
I didn't make it to spinning class Thursday night. I was still sore from my class Tuesday night, and I walked three miles on lunch and felt it in the back of my legs. Didn't want to push it and injure myself. Lord knows last year how good my broken leg was for my health. I literally gained 20 lbs. that year - not good.
Today I had off from work to pick up my grandmother from the airport for my brother's wedding, and to spend some time with her. My food for the day, so far:
-medium banana
-large cup of coffee with splendor and a couple tablespoons of pumpkin spice creamer
-half a sandwich on white bread with two small slices of ham, one piece of turkey and one piece of white American cheese
-two additional slices of white American cheese
-two thin slices of date and nut bread, one with a 1/2 tablespoon of cream cheese
-1/4 cup macaroni salad
-a taste of potato salad (didn't like it)
-small piece of breaded tilapia
-1/2 cup broccoli
-1 small potato with a sliver of butter
I'm guessing about 1900 calories. Not great for it only being 5:30pm. I don't know what happened today, I really had better intentions. I was good for four days straight and lost all the weight I gained over Thanksgiving. I just can't seem to break this 203.5, 31.5 weight loss..ughhhh..I just want to be under 200 dammit! Another goal missed.
It's probably why most people give up at this point, because I think it's a natural thing to stop losing as fast at this point. I really have to plow through. I've been at it over three months, just gotta keep going.
Thanks for listening.

I fail at dieting during Thanksgiving weekend.
No big deal. I gained 4.5 lbs in four days; on day three on being back on track I lost 3.5 of that gain. I'm hoping to lose some additional weight within the next two days. It will be hard to stay on track during the wedding on Sunday.
My food today:
-Weight Watchers whole wheat bread thins toasted with no sugar-added jam and a small amount of margarine
-Weight Watchers whole wheat bread thins with buffalo chicken lunch meat
-banana with banana yogurt
-red bell pepper slices and cucumber slices with small amount of ranch dip
-2 triscuit crackers with small amount onion dip
-1 pretzel
-spinach ravioli, bit of ziti noodles with broccoli/cauliflower mix with sprinkle of margarine and Parmesan cheese
-1 chocolate Italian ice
No exercise other than writing out Christmas cards. Tomorrow the plan is to survive my first spinning class.
Until then..
