A weekend away and the food goes out the door. Too many ribs, too few veggies, donuts (yes, donuts) and a case of the F@$#-its... I have SO many things to think about and stress about... Summer is fast approaching and I don't have a great plan for my kids. I need to step up my workouts, think about swim classes that I've committed to teaching and UGH!!! My only "day off" this week is committed to an all day volunteer challenge at my daughter's middle school. I really need to start saying NO... Calgon?! Anybody?!
The day is half gone... I am SO not ready for this week....

On again, off again...
I went for my 6 month follow up for my study. I weighed 183.4 which is a good thing because it means that for all of my on again, off again antics, I have managed to stay about the same; maintaining most of my losses. If I could only get it started again... I have been trying a new "tapit" weight loss ap for the i-phone. It's not as intuitive as 'lose it', but I feel like I have to give it a fair shake before I toss it. Plus I had to pay for it... shouldn't it be better than the free ap?
As for workouts, my Saturdays are AWESOME. I have been really pushing myself and making the most out of the whole group dynamic. We do need to step it up a little by riding a little further and running a little harder.
If I could reach the point where I feel like I am in a groove - get my work-homelife balance in order I would be in a much better spot. Something tells me though that I am better off with the tighter schedule. It makes it much harder to procrastinate.

One cup of Mojo, please....
Feeling SO -yuck... I had a great Saturday workout last week and have another scheduled for tomorrow. I should be doing something today... In fact, I shouldhave swam yesterday, but I didn't and I have no excuse.... or do I ...
My poor dog died 2 weeks ago... hard to believe it's that long... I am missing her terribly, my house is SO empty. I know that we'll get another dog someday, but it won't be Daisy and she was perfect.
I know I am sad, but am I depressed?
I dont' want to be. I don't want to sink into that FAT SLUG land of just not caring, but I haven't been caring... I need to care. I stopped going to my study. I was so unimpressed with the staff and I just didn't feel like it was a good fit for me. I went to the weekly classes to weigh in -- kind of like WW, but the content wasn't helpful. I always felt that I knew more than the others there, and in fact the group leaders would look to me more than I would have liked to confirm what they were saying about exercise or nutrition. I know how to eat healthy, I know all about exercise... What I need to know is why I eat too much. I want to know what it is about food... and my mood and my weight. Why can't I treat food as fuel? Why can't I stop eating when I know the consequences?
I know there are no magic bullets. I know it is hard work. I know HOW to succeed... It's just a matter of just DOING it... right? And so it goes...
Next week I will have my 6 month review... I would like to at least show an overall loss and that means I'll have to get on the scale to see how much damage I've done in the last 3 weeks, so I know how hard I have to work... Tomorrow morning I will weigh in. Hopefully it will be my DAY 1 of back on the wagon...
