I fell off the wagon

Well, I know I said I wasn't going to lick the bowl, but I did.  And I had some cake, twice.  Where is my will power?!  I didn't follow my meal plan at all yesterday and I have yet to eat anything today.  I am going to get off my butt now and eat something, something appropriate that is!

Nothing Changes

Hmmm...so far those six pounds are the only pounds that I have  lost.  I have been at the same weight for 5 days.  Yes, it's good that I haven't gone up, but why am I not going down?  I was really good last week about keeping my food journal, maybe that's the difference.

I did decide that once I am down the first 10 pounds I am getting a pedicure.  Thought that might be this weekend, but I guess not. :(

I will have a major test tonight and this weekend.  I have a cake to do for tomorrow night.  I usually lick the bowls and spatulas, and then eat the cake that I level off including icing to help it go down. (I know, right?!)  Not this weekend!  My son's birthday was also yesterday, so I am making a cake for him this weekend as well.  I am not going to deprive myself, but I am not going to engorge myself either.

I am still running Tuesday-Friday.  I have bumped up my max speed to 4.5 for 9 minutes.  I am wondering, which is better - higher speed or further distance?

Eating leftover lasagna for lunch.  It's from Brendan's birthday dinner at Olive Garden.  Not the healthiest choice, but I did split it in half.  Salad tonight!

Oh...found this today:  http://fitbie.msn.com/slideshow/10-weight-loss-bloggers-you-should-follow.  I'm going to have to take a look at these later.

The day after the Ball, Cinderella, I am not

So last night I attended the Heart Ball with my friend Alison.  I thought I looked good, but then Alison sent me this picture.  WOW, my arm is huge, my gut is out there, and I have a lot of extra face.  Do you notice I have no chest either?!  Alison's dress is at least one maybe two sizes larger, but I look so much bigger than her.  How depressing!

I started my meal plan (again) on Valentine's Day.  To this point I am down 6lbs.  My goal is to loose 20lbs. by my 40th birthday, which is 2 months from yesterday.  Hopefully Alison and I can get a picture taken then and I will see a difference!  I have got to loose this weight (again).  I don't need to be a size 8/10 again, but there is no way I am going to be happy with me at this weight.

To be continued!

226.8 lbs. (Feb. 14, 2012)
220.8 lbs. (Feb. 18, 2012)

Right or Wrong?

What am I doing?!  


Mark and I have been emailing.  He finally found the disk I loaned him over a year ago.  He asked if I felt up to dinner so he could give me the disk.  Timing hasn't worked out and I mentioned that he could come to the House of Blues to the Matt Nathanson concert.  I was shocked when he said that could work.


When is it making the wrong choice or taking a chance?
