Well, I have been holding off writing because I don't seem to be going anywhere. Hmmm. I'm still having trouble sticking to this. At least I am not gaining. Of course I say that and I have gained about 3 pounds. Then I take it off and I am so excited I cheat. I really wanted to take off another 10 pounds before the holiday. I have got to get more motivated. I have Mom and Kathy coming to visit this week. Then we are going to Delaware for Hunter's birthday next week. Then my niece is coming to visit for a week in November. I have some of John's family coming for Thanksgiving. Damn, this makes it sooooo hard. I have got to give up the excuses.
I went shopping with Christy and bought the cutest outfit. Thanks to Christy's great taste. I feel so good when I wear it. I really want to go shopping again but I need to lose some more. This is crazy!!
I feel like I am on a vent. I told John I wanted a bottle of Port. I just felt like having a drink--and I will say I have been pretty good with not drinking. So once every 2 months is not bad. What does John do? He brings home the huge--gallon size bottle. I constantly tell him not to do that because then I just want to drink it until it is gone. He can only think on value. It is cheaper. I guess I just have to go out and buy a drink at a bar rather than have a small bottle at home. Did you know alcohol stops the protein from doing its job of breaking down the calories? I might not be 100% on that information but I do know it works against the fat burning. It's the only thing that really keeps me from drinking.
I did go for a hike with Tony and his friend and we hiked for hours going up and down a mountain. OMG! my legs are still so sore. I really need to keep up with the exercise but that one day was more than I usually get in a week.
Well, I am going to get better about blogging on here so I can continue losing weight. I think it helps when I am telling everyone--well both of you who actually read this.
you're doing great! You have to have some cheats or you'll just go crazy! and you have to have a life. you have to have a drink now and then. well, not a gallon, but a glass. but exercise will move things around. get to the gym and have a cheat now and then. but work HARD at the gym. I can't wait to see you at christmas! When did you say you're coming?
ReplyDeleteI was excited because this morning I woke up and weighed myself and I was 165.9. I'm just afraid last night is going to catch up with me tomorrow and then Monday, Bridget is coming and we are going to surprise Kathy and Mom. That will only lead to drinking so I am pretty sure it will be a wasted week. Going to be hard to be good, but I will keep trying. I agree on the cheat meals but I really should be limiting that to once a week--unless I have company.
ReplyDeleteoh! Now I am really jealous!! Grrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteDon't be jealous--they made me gain weight!
