Confession time. I have fallen off the weight loss wagon. And I am not a person who has yet earned the right to forgo gym time for movie night, or salad for chicken wings. In due time, in moderation. But not right now.
I don't know where all my motivation went, but it seems to have gotten up and left me sitting here on my own back in my size 18 jeans.
There is a chance that I let myself slide out of 1st place on my priority list.
I am not happy with where I am.
I am not done on this journey.
And so today marks Day #1 of my 21 Days to Recreate My Best Habits program. Studies show it takes 21-28 days to create a habit, and that is what I need right now. My best success was when I had a schedule and stuck to it come hell or high water, and screw everyone else thankyouverymuch.
Very limited eating out.
Absolutely no eating out at places that don't provide nutritional information online.
No chocolate covered almonds.
Popcorn instead of potato chips.
Veggies instead of cheese. (*sigh. Dear cheese, why can't you be calorie-free!?)
So here it is:
I will find an online application that allows me to track my calorie intake, that is accessible at work, through stupid ^*$#@!( firewalls. And I will use it diligently.
Monday: Trainer Mike - weight resistance
Tuesday: Running Room walking clinic
Wednesday: Running Room walking clinic
Thursday: GYM. Non-weight-bearing cardio. Elliptical and/or bike.
Friday: Trainer Mike - weight resistance
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Running Room walking clinic
I have to make myself accountable, and I have to ask for, and take help wherever I can get it. Are you in?
Minimum of 6 hours working out a week. I can handle that.
I am most certainly worth that.
I hope that you are having an awesome day!

Hello my darling. I am posting to your blog as you have made a brave decision to put it all out there so I am putting this out there with you as perhaps an honest discussion the readers can see and who knows? Maybe use in their own life. I have a confession too. As a friend and someone who loves you dearly, I noticed your weight gain when I saw you the other night and I was scared and perplexed as to whether or not to say anything. What if u hadn't gained weight and it was my imagination? What if it was the wrong time to say anything? What if u were too raw about it? And yet we pride our friendship on being able to call out the bs. But this is a toughy for me, I cannot knowingly hurt you but in NOT saying anything am I hurting you? But then again as I write this I realise that you are no longer a woman asleep in her body. OF COURSE YOU KNOW!! DUH! But perhaps you could share how it feels to be on the receiving end of that kind of harsh love? And if any of your readers are struggling with lovingly telling a friend they see a problem, they may benefit from some guidance as to how to do it in love and support. Bicky
myfitnesspal.com - AWESOME!
Thank you so much for this Anne! I signed up the day you recommended it, got the blackberry app, and I love it!
It is similar to the body bugg I was using, but I don't have to wear that armband. :)
Thanks again!!!
