I have been doing pretty well my first week really back on plan. My only downfall has been the triple chocolate chunk cookies at the cafe on campus. I have had 3 this week. I am not beating myself up over it because they were worth it and I had the points. It's not like I ate 3 in one sitting. I have been to the gym everyday I have planned. I took a break on Thursday. I got up this morning and was at the gym by 9:30 and did a hour of weights and 30 minutes of cardio. I haven't had anything to eat yet because I don't like to eat before I go to the gym and I just took a shower. I am planning on making some egg beaters with peppers and some oven fries. This afternoon I work a basketball game and I get free concessions food. This will be the real test. I am going to limit myself to one thing. It will either be a pretzel (the healthiest option), popcorn, or a hot dog.
I have gone 3 days without eating after 9 PM. Go me! After I got home at 1:30 AM I so wanted a snack, but I crawled into bed instead =)
I have peaked at the scale and I like what I see. I am not going to weight myself until my weigh in day on Tuesday.
I have proven to myself that I can get back on plan, now I just need to stick with it. Writing my week out on my whiteboard last Sunday really helped. I am going to do that again this week too. Also planning meals a day in advance has helped a lot too.
I hope everyone enjoys their Saturday =)
Here's the question: what do you change? Whom do you call that you haven't spoken to in years? Whom do you realize has been toxic to your heart and drop with surprising ease? What trips do you cancel, and what trips do you book? What can't you be bothered with anymore? What's the new you like? Think about that, and then ask one more question. Why not just change it all right now?-- John Mayer

I didn't go to the gym today and I am ok with that. A day off is good every once in a while, but I will be back tomorrow.
I feel really tired today too.
I have eaten pretty well today too. No snacking. Night one of the no eating after 9 challenge is complete. 6 more to go. The weekend will be the big test especially with 2 late night shows on Friday and Saturday.
I am off to bed!

I have a major problem and involves eating late at night. I find that when I get bored I eat. And man did I eat last night. It was nothing too bad. I didn't really go over my points, but still I really need to work on that. I think I should set a goal of not eating past a certian time for a week and see how it goes. I think 9 PM would be a good number. Ok, so for a week starting tonight I will not eat past 9 PM. I will update you on the progess.
I hit the gym for 60 minutes of weights and 20 mintues of cardio. I have tomorrow marked as an off day on my calender, but I might be headed to the gym anyway.
I did pretty well eating wise except for the snack size smore cand bar I had at work ( I love those things!!! They are so damn good!) and the tootsie pop I had there too.
I hope everyone has had a good day!

I lost a pound this morning! The scale above reflects that. However, I have a feeling it is a fluke, because I surely didn't deserve it. Also I forgot to mention that yesterday I turned down 4 different lunch invites. I had planned to go to the gym at lunch and I stuck with my plan. Normally I would have gone to lunch and then gone to work out (and had a crappy workout because I had just eaten) or skip the gym entirely. Go me! Here is to another day on plan!

So my first day back on plan has gone pretty well. I had oatmeal for breakfast. I forgot my apple that I was planning on having for a snack. So I had a mini kit kat instead. Not so good, but I journaled the 3 points and I will move on. After work I went to the gym. I fit in an hour of weights and 20 minutes of cardio. I had a smart ones for luch for 4 points and I added some veggies to eat for 2 more points.
Right now I am trying to figure out what I will have for dinner and a snack.
I hope everyone has had a wonderful Monday!

Keep the comments coming. I know there are more of you out there!
I had a realization on my walk to the gym this morning. I have not really lost any weight in the past few months and I haven't gained, but my behavior hasn't been deserving of a loss. I am not journaling like I used to, I am not measuring our portions like I used to, and I am not excercising like I used to. Hopefully that will all change soon. I am working less than 20 hours this week and I want to focus on myself.
I did make it to the gym today. I did over an hour of weights and 25 minutes on the bike. Go me!
