50 pounds

yes!!...todays weigh in finally is 245.  It just seemed that this goal would not come....I thought not making it for my birthday didn't bother me but i think it did.  Anyway i was not good on tues but it is interesting in that i ate 1810 cal on tues and in many diets that would be considered great and in my current mind set that is not good.  Now if i had planned to eat 1800 cal i would be fine with it but i just wasn't feeling happy and i was tired and we were busy and all those useless stupid excuses and i overate at lunch....i was able to pull it in some at dinner or it would have been even worse. For the week i am less than 100 cal over but still how foolish when i wasn't happy with the last weigh ins. Now ther are a few days missing but some of that is due to my finding our that my day count was off.....i have adjusted it and i now hope its correct and since i figured this out on wed i just started this weeks posting there....the missing days were fine on both cal and flu but i have been having problems getting my fluids in. Work has been busy and time to drink limited and I have been starting as soon as i get home.
dh is shopping right now for some more salad stuff.....I don't know why all of a sudden we can't find the carrots i like for the salads, i tried chopping some last night and it just wasn't as good. May have to eat baby carrots along with the salad if we can't find the good ones.

Onward and Downward

My new motto...Onward and Downward.  I got off track this weekend...I had been following my day plans but where I had been choosing lower cal options and sometimes just skipping what i couldn't have I found myself hungry and craving this week. Therefore most days i was pushing the cal limit and yesterday we had to go shopping and I ended up starting to eat out ok but ......I didn't stop as when I should...Yes it was healthy and I had them hold what I shouldn't eat so I didn't have to look at it on my plate but I have not been finishing most of my meals when we have been going out to make sure my cal would be good and I didn't do this last night and then I ate something I shouldn't have after and then i was still hungry when we came home and at 1am i ate some mixed nuts......I did weigh them and I did count cal but still....what am I doing....I hoped to be at 245 this weekend I wanted to be at 50 pounds gone ...I know i'm at 48...i was lucky to see a pound gone this week but it's not god enough...its so easy to say that I feel some better so I can ease up a little and we all know what happens then.....2 lost weekly becomes 1....becomes none...becomes +1 and then......we slide backward. I don't want that so I need a new motto.
In addition I haven't been able to exercise. I did get a wrist HR monitor.....i know the reviews favored the chest ones but after looking at them yesterday I realized i would not use it enough and i would use it as an excuse to not exercise...so i bought a wrist one and I didn't wait to order online as i want to program it today and get started a little.
Tomorrow is a new make that another day in this path to a smaller healthier me and i plan to approach it in a better frame of mind
