This ends today!

Wow you guys, this week has been HARD. I ate out sooo much and I tried to make good choices but I was so tempted. I slipped up a few times, like yesterday I snacked a lot in between meals, and by today I would have been happy to see the scale have stayed at 271. Imagine my surprise when I stepped on the scale and had dropped a pound! I couldn't even believe it at first, I had to weigh myself again. But woohoo! That's 4 pounds in two weeks!

But I'm not going to get cocky about it. I know I need to work hard to keep the pounds coming off. I think this week will be easier than the last week has been, because I'll be at home and not on the road.

But right now, my legs feel all wobbly from my walk this morning. I think a smoothie is in order. Bye for now!
 
Rough day

I haven't really been sleeping well the last few nights, and I've been in kind of a sour mood since Tuesday. I don't really know why, I'm just all around kind of bummed out, whereas at the beginning of my weight loss journey I was pumped up and ready to work hard. I'm just getting more tired and lazier as the days go by. I can't seem to get my butt in gear.

I did go for a walk this morning. I'm finding it hard to get out of the house to go do it, even if I know that I'll feel awesome and really great about myself if I just get out and go. It only takes until I get to the trail for me to start feeling better, but the whole journey from waking up to getting to my car is getting slower and taking longer, like I'm putting it off. The important thing is that I'm still doing it, yeah? And today, I only stopped on the trail once, compared to the usual 3 or 4 short stops.

Anybody have any fantastic, miracle working words of wisdom to impart unto me? I really need the support right now.

Thanks.
 
Aaaaand it's Tuesday again. I woke up this morning with a really nasty pain in my stomach. I was going to go for a walk, as I had been doing really well the last few days (I'd walked at least 2.5 miles every day since Friday) and I wanted to keep up the roll, but I got out of bed and I could hardly walk without feeling really bad pains. :( Argh, so frustrating.

I did get on the scale, and I was kind of surprised to see that I hadn't lost any weight this week. No gain, which is better than nothing, but no loss either which was a little disappointing. I think to be more successful, I should really stick to my food diary to stay honest with myself.

Hopefully by tomorrow I'll feel better and I'll be able to get out again.
 
Second week in a row with no loss or gain. Aghhhhhhh. I'm losing the confident mindset I had over the first two weeks. A month in and I've lost it. But now I'm going to try to get it back, because I was doing really well.
Well, just a quick update before I get back into the swing of things. Still working on moving in to the new apartment, which causes a lot of stress, but hoping to keep it under control.
 
Woop woop, y'all! I'm finally down a pound this week, which puts me a pound under 270, and at 5 pounds lost so far. I am back in the game, and just in time. This Saturday I'm leaving for my first big-scale vacation in... I don't even remember when. Mom and I are going on a cruise up from Vancouver up the coast to Alaska. It's going to be so hard to keep my goals in mind. Any tips or tricks for continued weight loss on a vacation? We have a few days at sea, and an onboard gym with treadmills and bikes that I might check out. I'm just worried about the foooood haha.
 
I'm back from my vacation! It was beautiful and awesome. And I ate sooo much. :( I weighed myself just before taking off and I was at 269... Got back on Monday night and I was so nervous I didn't weigh myself until Wednesday. And I was surprised to have not gained any weight! Oh my gosh. I guess choosing the right things (I ate a lot of fish, almost nothing fried, and had a salad every chance I got) and making use of the treadmills in the onboard gym (I walked a total of about 10 miles when adding up all the time I spent in there) really paid off and helped me toward my goal. I couldn't have asked for anything better! Well, except losing weight I guess, but seeing as how I was expecting to gain about 10 pounds. They say you gain a pound a day on a cruise, did you know that? That makes this situation all the more exciting!

But now that I'm home, I've gotta start cracking down again!
