Where I Went Wrong.....

[kccruz]

Okay.....I lost 3 lbs In the compettion....but I KNOW..I could have lost MORE..
So, I am going to be honest with myself and look back on the last 2 weeks and see what I could have done different to have optimized my weight loss.

First week I did AWESOME!!!...I counted my points, measured my food. Worked out 6 times that week and drank more than my share in water. Took All my suppliments everday.

Second week
I went to curves only 3 times and walked only 2 times....I did not measure my food at every meal.....Forgot my supplements 3 days....Water intake was not the best.....ate too many fudge pops I think...

I see where I went wrong.......Some extra things I might do is watch my sodium intake....Buy myself brown rice and pasta .....introduce myself to more fruit....And I need to keep busy at home.....maybe take up scrap booking.......( I really need to get a job..lol)....and find a work out tape to do in the afternoon.....Also....Andreas And I had a "argument" this past week......I felt REALLY guilty in what I said to him....So I know my emotions
got the best for me...and the down fall to that is not wanting to exercise...wanting "comfort" foods......and everthing else I did wrong the second week. I am admitting all of this so that I am not kidding myself ..and so that I dont "beat" myself up for not giving it all my best. I think it is a step forward in my weight struggle....confessing my weak moments and struggles.....

I think this is a good idea --- realizing where we went wrong and taking control of that.
I had the same problem during the second week, Jay & I had a little argument and even though we were fine not long after, I felt bad about what I said =( So I feel ya in that situation!
Also, I did drink enough water and worked out pretty good BUT I could have worked out much more, I started making excuses as to why I didn't have to go to the gym.
I think my BIGGEST problem is staying busy when I am at home ... I need to start concentrating more on school rather than eating and lounging around ... I eat out of boredom!

kccruz, it's great that you are looking at what went wrong! Actually it isn't as much what went wrong, after all you did loose 3lbs which is great. It is more, what can you do better. It's hard when you have emotional things going on...I would say your plan to take up a hobby is a good one. You can focus on something you like to do when you are emotional and it will help with keeping on track. Anyway, congrats on the 3lbs!
