Week 18 or so...

NNot sure why, but feeling a little "bloated" these past few days..... I guess it's been a busy week so sticking to my normal routine has been a little hard. A party Saturday, a party Sunday and I got a over confident with my snacking and I'm feeling it in my belly. Crazy!! I've been exercising this week but not as intense as normal. I'm a little nervous for this Sunday's weigh in. I still have Friday and Saturday to make good choices, work out hard and stay positive. I was trying to remember the last time I was in the dumps. I read back to February when I pigged out for 3 days while snowed in with a ton of left over fatty foods from our Superbowl Party. If I had given up then, I would not have reached my current weight loss of 58.2 lbs! I remember what helped a lot back then was writing about my feelings on this blog I was able to turn my negativity around and get back on track.

So here I am again, using this blog for what it is. An opportunity for me to "talk" to myself as I type. A chance to hold myself accountable. A chance for me to turn it around. A few bad days will NOT end this journey for me. A bag of M&M's and very creamy pasta will not kill my spirit. My snacking these past 2 days has been quite busy and my hunger irrepressible. Clearly I'm not eating right or else I would not feel so unsatisfied. When I eat right, I'm not hungry. When I eat right, I don't feel bloated. When I eat right, I feel GREAT!

So here I go again. It’s late, I will go to bed with positive thoughts. I will wake up tomorrow and stick to the my healthy eating routine that I have learned and have a great work out tomorrow. Even if I don’t lose weight this Sunday I know I’m back on track and back on plan. And in the long run, that will be what matters, not what the scale says this Sunday.

Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!
