Making It!

So I have not been being as good as I should be being. I was okay yesterday but I know I can be doing better. Though, that said...I'm -2.8 pounds this week. I'm not sure why because I haven't beeing drinking my water like I should be. We will see if this sustains..

I'm almost halfway to my goal of 126 and I know that I have to start picking it up because the pounds will not continue to just "fall off" like this...unfortunately! Right where I am now is usually the hardest part for me because I can't remember ever being lighter than this. I never started weight myself until I was this weight so, it just feels "like home" here. Plus, once I get under 130, I will not be considered "overweight" anymore! Hmm.

Well there is my rant for the day. I'm off to actually drink some water and find a healthy breakfast. Hope the rest of you are doing well today!

Pretty good...some not so good and odd snacks in there. I have a feeling that I will be up tomorrow. Last night I stopped eating pretty early for me (around this time...5pm) and the hunger pangs were horrible. I was drinking coffee though, so maybe the caffeine had something to do with it? Either way, I signed up at sparkpeople, and I met all of my goals for day! Stayed inside my range and everything. I was pretty proud of myself for that!

Hmm soo difficult right now. My mother is hosting people downstairs and offered me some of their food. Cakes, cookies, all sorts of treats.

Agh.
 
Hey! Just checking in on your diary. Looks like things are going good.

Parties and family are always tough, but you can do it! Hopefully there's a veggie tray down there somewhere you could choose to munch on! :D
 
Thank you! I won't lie..I did end up caving in a bit. But I've forgiven myself for it and moved on. That's all I can do.

Anyways, I've made a new goal for myself: Stop wasting useless time on the internet! Seriously, I waste so much time staring at my computer doing nothing. I consider my time here worthwhile, because I'm doing this for myself...but that aside, I do waste a lot of time. The weather has been so nice lately and I haven't even gone for a walk or anything. So I'm not going to be online wasting time until I get everything done that is more important. Time is money!

Also, I'm pampering myself today. I'm going tanning and getting my hair done a different color. Maybe this is a bit vain of me, but I enjoy doing things like this for myself! I chopped off all of my long hair about a year ago because it was too much to handle. The next day I wanted to shoot myself for making that mistake...but I'm still glad I did it. I'm growing it back out now because I missed it so much. Tomorrow I plan on going to get my eyebrows done and maybe paint my nails :eek:. Gosh I can be such a girl sometimes! But for me at least, I find that when I treat myself now and then, I feel better all around.

Well that is all for me right now. Take care!

2.8 pounds? That is a nice loss! :) Congratulations! :) Don't panic about the rest of the weight - just try and keep yourself eating healthily and getting some fun outdoors. It is more important for you to still be a healthy weight in six months or a year, than to lose all you want in the next month or so!

Have fun with your beauty treatments!! :)
 
Thank you thank you! You are totally right that I should not panic. It's just silly of me because I really have no reason to. That said, I've realized that counting calories is not for me anymore. It makes me almost obsessive to keeping it as low as possible and that is not any good. And then eventually I end up binging...also not so good! So really I've come to realize it's more about changing my lifestyle as a whole than eating a certain amount of calories or running so many miles. I feel defeated so quickly at times that I give up on myself. But that's going to be changing!

Take care!
 
You are so right about lifestyle and balance being what really matters and the danger of obsessing and driving your calories too low. :)

Health to you. :)
