OK....this weekend was a bust. No excuse I just let myself have what I wanted. I know that this will not get me to my goal. So I gave myself a for poor performance. I did do my exercise so that was a plus BUT it was for not because of my intake. We went to the movies AND my aunt had cooked so I was blindsighted by an offer of a plate. No excuses.
I have not gained and have a relief from some of the constipation. I have made some menus and will start those. Did do some shopping so I am on track for next week.
Tomorrow I look forward to getting a
ETA: Yes....I am still messing around with the scale. I need to take my measurements...forgot to get my tape measure. My trainer did not take them either.

You already know moderation and portion control are key. Two things I'm struggling with. Probably always will in some respect.
And do get that tape measure. Without knowing I'm loosing inches I'd have lost my mind by now, for real.

I am going to get it as soon as I get off today....only staying half a day since its MLK day and my Sorors and I have a service project. While I am at it...I am going to get myself an egg timer as well. I need to ensure I get my water in...this might help me space my intake during the day.
In regards to this weekend, I don't know why I felt it was ok to give myself like a day OR so off. Its the mind.....its not like this is a job or something and I can request off when I feel like it. Its my life. I think it goes back to the self deprivation thing. I am going to have to reach a happy medium in some way. In planning my menus, I have planned and actually put treats on the menu. I guess I do need enjoy some foods...only in moderation...knowing that I just like the taste...has nothing to do with me using food to deal with feelings now. I hate that there are so many mind game when it comes to food.
I don't know if anyone can be 100% compliant all the time. I just know that I need to work the kinks out so that I can make goal. I guess I can give myself 5% to indulge..that's 420 calories a week on a 1200 cal target caloric intake.

Hey Lisa......This your official flogging with a wet noodle for your weekend boo-boo You said this was an accountability post, so I'm calling you out to motivate you to exercise portion control and stay on task to reach your goal by May. Eye on the prize and walk away from the plate.........You also get a....."good job" for exercising and hiring a trainer.
Btw............you mentioned you got some relief from your constipation issue. Care to share what worked for you? I'm still struggling with that myself.
Have a great week.

Hey Janice!
Thank so much for the flogging. I so was not wanting to put this post up BUT I knew that I had to report my struggle. Its funny because I actually had told my aunt that I had already eaten and that i did not want anything BUT then she gave me that LOOK. I need to not succumb to that look in the future. Folks know what I am trying to do....I need to give them that dayum LOOK back.
I took the plate knowing dayum good and well that I was going to eat that Mac and Cheese despite the fact that I am really trying to let go of the pasta.
Any flogging is appreciated...believe me. Cause if I don't do this I will be in the same place this time next year...saying woulda, coulda, shoulda. NO way. Back on board today.
In regards to the constipation, I took the Miralax in some warm water. It definitely helped me.
