Week 7+8 Weigh-In: I know, I suck!

I didn't post last week...I kept meaning to, but then just didn't. I feel like the last week and a half have just flown by...and honestly, I haven't had much control during it either.

Week 7 Weigh-In: I lost one whole pound...and that is shocking. I fully expected to either stay the same or gain. Cause well...I didn't really stay on plan. My brother was in town...so I spent a lot of time with the fam...which meant eating pizza with them...eating out at Olive Garden...and then having taco and burrito night...and eating way more than one person should. Also...didn't workout like I was supposed to. Overall...suckage was happening....so, when I lost a pound...shocked the hell out of me.

Week 8 Weigh-In: I didn't lose a damn bit...didn't gain either. Once again, I was shocked. I expected to gain something...if not a few somethings. I was not in control at all this week. If I was a drinker...I would have said I was on a bender all week long. And..keeping with that analogy, many mornings...I felt like I had a food hangover. I would wake up feeling full...feeling sluggish and just crappy. Mainly...because I didn't work out...AT ALL. Not even my walks for the walking challenge. I have never got gotten those in before. And...I ate crap. I eat almost a whole pizza...bad Shelley, bad. I ate Cadbury Mini Eggs. Bad!! I ate even after I wasn't hungry. All that stuff I KNEW was bad...I did...over and over again. And once I started with the badness...it seemed like I couldn't get it back. In fact...as I am writing this on Tuesday, I am still not back on track. I caught a cold...and it seemed to give me the excuse I needed to keep eating crap and not working out...like I know I should.

So, it's time to refocus...and get back to all that stuff that was working for me. In the first month of weight loss...I lost 12 pounds. Since then, I have lost 2 freakin' pounds. Yes, I didn't gain anything back...but obviously i have lost that intensity and steam that I had. I need that steam back...I know how much I want this...so, here I go!

I am going to use lent...as my motivation. I am usually pretty good about committing to things, especially when I have something I am working towards. So, for lent...I am giving up chocolate...not one piece of chocolate will touch my lips during the lent period. That means no Cadbury Mini Eggs...hear that evil mini eggs! And...I am giving up pizza. I will not have any pizza during lent...no matter how much I want it. Say goodbye pizza...your cheesy goodness is gone.

So, tomorrow...I will refocus...get back to working out...and get back to eating the foods that make me feel good, instead of making me feel like a sluggish tub of goo.

*winks* Wish me luck....
