I have not measured myself. So, I don’t have any results to post in that regard.
After making some bad eating choices last weekend, I pulled myself together. I banned sugar, white bread, and the kids snacks (graham crackers, sweet cereal, goldfish). I really wanted to eat all of that stuff, but I resisted. And the scale smiled on me this morning. I’m down 4 pounds from last Friday (and 6 from what the scale said on Sunday morning) and as low as I was right before Christmas. It’s nice to be back on track. I do not want to have to lose these pounds again.

I’m working on a system that I think will work to keep me on track. I’m still tinkering with how to implement it, but I’m feeling more confident in being able to see this through.

I failed to report in with my weight-loss progress on Friday. I was up a half pound the previous week. When I weighed on Friday, I was up another 1.5.

I so hate that I just start eating and don’t stop.

It’s not that I’m working hard and doing the right things and not seeing results. I’m frustrated that I keep choosing to do the wrong things.

For the first time in a very long time, I kept track of everything I ate for an entire week. I don’t remember when I last did that and I’m so glad I did! I was down 2.8 pounds this week. It was encouraging to make some progress. I also was down 2.75 inches from last week. So, for this month, I’m down 4.4 pounds and 5 inches.

Since I last checked in, I’ve run a little over 14 miles and I’ve been working on my Shred DVD. I took a few days off of DVD because my knees and joints were aching and I didn’t want an injury. I ran really hard on Tuesday (4 miles in 48 minutes– that’s faster than I usually do my long runs– and 4 miles is a long run for me right now) and I was feeling it the next day.

I’m still not down to my pre-holiday weight, but I’m feeling more confident that I’m going to get there. I’m going bridesmaid dress shopping next week for Brian and Missy’s wedding and I hope to be down 2 more pounds by then. Something to work toward, I guess!
