Back on Board.....

So I have definitely been doing my own thing for about the last 6-9 months. Out loud I called it maintaining, but really I was just being lazy! I had been fluctuating on the same 5# eating pretty much what ever I wanted, just in much smaller portions. I told myself it was great that I could eat what I wanted & be able to "maintain"...boy was I deluding myself!!!

About a week before our vacation the last week of June I stepped on the scale to find out I was 10# up from my lowest weight...momma was NOT happy. So I tried being really good for a week, down about 3# & then tried to be really careful on vacation. Figured that along with being careful the extra walking at Disney that surely I would come home lighter than I left...so not true, I was up about 5# when we got home.

While sulking during the week after vacation, I read the post of a cyber friend on facebook who had her surgery 3 months after me. We started of at pretty close to the same weight & this week she hit the goal set by her doctor...155#. I was so jealous, for a split second I wanted to throw my phone across the room!

So today was day 1 of getting back on board. I didn't meet all of my goals I had set for myself, but I did meet the biggest goal, which was not cheating on the no carb issue. The were several times I was tempted:
1. Finding a half eaten single serving bag of lays potato chips that belonged to Kayleigh in my purse when I went to lunch...I gave them to Clay so I wouldn't continue to be tempted.
2. Finding a stray starburst in my purse during lunch...gave that to Clay too!
3. Picked up pizza & cheese sticks from Little Ceaser's because it was easy & what Bug wanted for dinner. The cheese sticks smelled so good in the car, that I nearly drooled on myself, but I didn't sneak anything!

I had planned to get up & either go for a walk this morning or do ab exercises...but I slept late! I had planned to take my breaks at work either go outside for a walk or work out in our mini workout room...worked straight thru both breaks as usual. I had planned to get all of my water in today,I very rarely do...but I only drank about 25 oz today.

Guess I will work on those goals again tomorrow along with continuing the food battle! Say a prayer for me, that food one has always been my downfall!

Now that I have gotten all that off my chest I just want to say how proud I am of my cyber friend Christie! We have never met or even spoken on the phone, but I understand what she goes through everyday & I am truly proud of her & super excited for her on reaching her goal weight!!!! My next follow up appt is September...hoping to be past this stall I have been in and a little closer to my goal by then!
