HELP!
It’s been a few days since I posted last, but I hope you don’t think that means I’ve fallen off the wagon. To be honest, this has been a rough two weeks. I’m way too busy and instead of spending my spare time making sure I have nutritious home made meals to bring along with me, I’ve been either eating frozen dinners, quick easy (and not filling or super nutritious) meals OR eating out. And I’m struggling.
I also haven’t had a lot of time to work out. Lately my only time to work out seems to be in the morning first thing, but no matter how hard I try, I’m always far too tired to get up. One day this week my alarm went off for 30 minutes before it woke me up. THIRTY MINUTES! Do you see how tired I am?
It’s not a good combination and it means two things.
One: I’m not losing any weight. I haven’t lost anything substantial in two weeks, but I’m actually very lucky that I haven’t gained anything. BECAUSE…
TWO: I can’t stop eating!
So I’m freaking out a little here. And desperately trying to find my will power. So far I haven’t blown all my flex points which is probably what’s keeping me from actually gaining. BUT I can tell I’m getting a little too lax with myself and if I can’t my head back in the game I’m going to start down a slippery slope. Not happening.
So Rachel, Tash, Chad…anyone? I need you to get all Jillian on me. I’m gonna get all Jillian on myself.
Here are my goals:
1. I am exercising EVERY DAY this upcoming work week. 3 days of circuit training and Elliptical training on my days off.
2. No unplanned snacking this week. In fact, no snacking after dinner. It’s too easy to talk myself out of the bowl of raisin bran and into a cookie or a bowl of frozen yogurt. So, dinner is my last meal of the day!
3. I’m going to plan for everything ahead of time. So unless there’s some sort of unavoidable emergency, every meal is going to be preplanned. And nutritious.
Hopefully I still have time to register a loss this week!!

well I am definitely no Jillian I wish I had one too. I have been watching what I eat religiously for the past 3 weeks and I have only dropped 8 lbs. I guess 8 is good seeing as how i’m supposed to be losing only 1.5 /week but still ya always think with all this strictness and suffering at times there should be more….. I was a total of 2 whole days worth of calories under my budget for the week. some days Im consuming under 1000 calories which I know I know its not good for me but I find myself getting obssesive with it. and especially I am one week away from my girls day as well as not having any food in the house (thats healthy for me to eat) so id rather not eat at all. but on the up side I am looking forward to getting on the scale next week cuz i know i will have dropped some pre-period water weight by then but anyways I am still trying to keep away from the scale today s the first time i weighed myself in 2 weeks so ….. anyways hang in there and make sure if u flub up that u can start new tomorrow. dont let it make u give up.
