Day 48 - I Haven't Given Up Yet

My weight this morning is not what it should be for weigh in tomorrow, in fact I'm up right now.  I am going to have a real lean day and see if I can make my weight.  I really doubt it but I don't want to give up yet.  I really don't want to go through the entire menu of what I ate and drank yesterday, but I will say that I am trying to stay away from the empty calories.  I had a couple of drinks last night, and that would be my only exception.

On the plus side, I was down today from yesterday so maybe I'm doing something right.

Day 47 - Only Two Days To Go This Week

Um... I don't think I'm doing so well with weight this week.  I'm up quite a bit.  My eating and drinking must not be where I really want it to be... I'm going to have to really cut back over the next two days to make my goal for the week.  I think my main problem yesterday was that I had a couple of drinks... that's 320 calories right there. I did also have a handful of pretzels.  I am going to have to have a lean day or two to make it...

Day 45 - Ice Cream Did It

My weight was not too bad this morning.  I did have a pretty good day yesterday, avoided the alcohol, sweets, pop, etc.  I did have some pretzels as snacks that I wish I hadn't.  And I did have some ice cream in the evening... haven't done that in a while.  Otherwise a pretty good day.  I still need to go down a bit to get to my desired weight this week but I do have 4 days left...

Day 43 - Taken Down By A Party

Ok, I had a few drinks, cake, and ice cream yesterday.  Otherwise not a bad day.  On the first day of the week I do tend to let myself go anyway, so this is not too unusual.  I have the rest of the week to make up for it.

I have avoided soda pop for the entire time of my diet, which is amazing to me.  I have been substituting with water which works much better.

Today, Sunday, which should be a rest day right?, I have a busy day ahead for work and business so I'll try to keep it under control but I'm not sure that I will.  I guess we'll see how it goes.  I know I won't eat out today at least.

Day 42 - Weigh In Day, Not Bad

With one lean day, I lost about 2 lbs so that I beat my target this week.  I ate, don't get me wrong, and I was never very hungry.  I drank coffee in the morning and a comfortable amount of water in the afternoon.  I ate breakfast, but had mostly almonds, fruit, yogurt, and dry cereal in the afternoon and evening.  I did have one beer... My weigh in this week brings my average back up to where it should be at 1.53 lbs per week.

This next week I need to work daily at my weight loss and not put all of my loss into one day.  I need to cut back on the alcohol and eating out, and get more exercise.  I do have  a busy week next week so this may be a challenge.

Day 41 - I'm Under The Gun

I have one more day to go this week and I've lost weight, just not a whole lot.  This week has been stressful with work and other stuff going on and I just have not been able to keep my eating and drinking in check like I want to.  The good thing is that I can lose what I need to today, I believe, if I have a really lean day.  I am going to eat breakfast but see if I can keep it to fruits and vegies the rest of the day.  Wish me luck!

Day 38 - I Have My Weaknesses

I am still having a rough time getting back into my rhythm.  I ate out yesterday for lunch, although I ate Japanese... so not too bad.  My evening was a couple beers and chocolate... I really need to get it together at night.  My weight is going ok I guess, down a couple of pounds from my weigh in last weekend.  I would still like to do better and hopefully will make improvements today.

On the plus side, I am avoiding soda and drinking lots of water.  I just need to avoid the other junk and alcohol.  Sounds easy, doesn't it?  I also need to exercise more, no doubt.
