Confession is good for the soul...

Hello All,

The past few days have not been good.  I had been waiting for my period to come (it was 2 wks late!), so my stress level has been up.  It finally came on Monday.  Since then, I've been eating everything - bigger portions, cake, brookies (which are brownie on the bottom & chocolate chip cookie on top = deadly!!!), etc.  Plus, I haven't been getting in all my water.  Although I've been good with my workouts, I still managed to gain a few pounds.

So, I've decided to come clean so I can start again.

I threw away the desserts this morning.  I am vowing to eat the RIGHT SIZED portions.  I also think I'm probably due for a fill since I've only had one since my surgery in February.

If you've taken the time to read this, thank you.  I needed to get this off my chest so I can get back to the rules and the business of getting healthy and looking and feeling better.

My scale has me around 264 as of this morning.  I want to hit the 250's for my next small goal.  I know I can do this.  I need Mr. Motivation to come and find me.  

Bette - thanks for your post of goals.  That definitely helped.

Hope you reach your goal Barbara.  Confession is good and for me journaling daily is even better.  Take care,

You can do it.

I am the WORST person at allowing my period to take me off of the rails.  Be strong, sister!!  You can do this!

Time for a fill Barbara.  You have the tool, take full advantage of it.
We all have days, weeks, etc. like you've described.  It will pass.  Just get back to basics and don't let the junk foods back in the house!  If you're desperate for a brookie go out to have ONE.

Best~

Thanks Ladies.  I can always count on you for good advice.

Just did my first zumba class ever.  And that was after 30 minutes with my personal trainer.  I'm exhausted, but it feels good.

You're right, Lisa.  I definitely think it's time for a fill.

Enjoy your day!!!

Brookies...those do sound dangerous!

Well, it is clean slate day! Brush yourself off and hop back on track. You can do this. The 250s are just around the corner!

 Thanks Lindsey

I will confess right along with you.  My daughter's wedding was this past weekend and I ate badly.  For the rehearsal dinner I ate a steak and cheese quesadilla (which isn't that bad) but I also ate lots of chips and salsa and had a pina colada.  Then on the wedding day they had Puerto Rican food catered and I had this pork that was so delicious.  It just melted in your mouth.  I had a couple pastllios (I may have spelled that wrong).  I also had 2 1/2 slices of wedding cake (which was carrot cake...yum!!!!).  Needless to say I also didn't have time to workout during this time either.  So when I weigh in tomorrow I am sure there will be some weight gain. 

Oh well it was my daughter's freakin wedding!!!!

lol -- I was going to say your daughter's wedding would certainly justify some special treats, not like this day comes along all the time you know :)  Congrats to your daughter!
