One is not ok

Da da da, la dee da... this seems to be a song in my head but I cannot quite put a finger on exactly what it is!

I don't have anything earth-shattering to share tonight but I figure it has been over a week since my last post, I ought to get something up here before I lose momentum!

Success and failure:

Failure first... I had a birthday this week and ate horribly for a few days...

I have not journaled food since April 15th.... 

Skipping the (whatever) dish at work has been much harder than I anticipated... I need a better plan for this although, I am not sure what that could be!!!  It is there, out there and I resist for a the first few times I walk in and I feel good and then the next thing I know... BAM I have over indulged and I have a tummy ache.  If I could just hold out and not eat even ONE (whatever sweet treat is there, today it was andy's candies, CURSE YOU ANDY!), I know I'd be ok.  I really need to get the brain on board here.  ONE is NOT OK!!!  Once I have the taste in my mouth I crave more and more and more and it is a freakin' train WRECK! I wish I could avoid this room but it is just not possible... or is it???  I will create an avoidance plan.  But I am just not sure this is the answer to the problem.  Don't I need to face it head on and teach/train myself to just say no?  I don't know.  In the meantime, I will just do the very best I can!!

Success that lead to failure... I gave up diet coke!!  For a couple days anyway.... that sort of put a little kink in my "I will sip DC instead of hitting the whatever dish."  I wasn't having coke so I had chocolate.  Then I decided it was ok to cheat on the DC plan to avoid the chocolate.  So I still consider this a success... I haven't had DC in the morning which has been my true addiction.  AND I have not had one everyday so it is still a work in progress but really, I never thought it possible and I am sooo happy!!!

Success:  I weighed in 4 pounds lighter for my second Wednesday weigh-in.  Now, granted, for the first weigh in I had a huge dinner and cheated a little but still, 4 pounds is a pretty big deal and now the I know how to measure myself, I can say that I have lost lots of inches.  Just none from the important places, hips and thighs.  Still a work in progress, as are most things here in my life!

Success:  I worked out one more time this week than I did last week.  Not saying much though because I didn't work out last week but still we will call this a success!  ¡Olé!  ☺until next time~
