Ok, well it is almost 10/13 at this point so I am getting in my day before it isn't "today" anymore.
Today was a fair day. I weighed in about 303 (I think). I started strong with a protein breakfast. And lunch wasn't bad either, however the hazelnut mocha was definitely a bad idea. It has been a while since I have had coffee that sweet and holy moley that was a big shock to the system. My delicious indulgence cost me a headache and tummy ache, in the long run....eh.....not too worth it. Lesson learned, moving on. Dinner was a good balance of protein, vegetable and carb AND family friendly so I didn't have to cook two meals! Yeah!
Tomorrow is a new day and a new start!
Watch the Weight GO!

As Promised 10/11
I said I would and so here I am. It is almost bedtime and I am checking in for the day!
Today I did fairly well following my "diet" protocols. I am currently drinking water to quell my "hunger" (aka I want to eat because it smells good) pangs and heading to bed so I will not be tempted to!
I have chosen, currently, to be aware of what I am eating but allow myself limited carbs so long as I keep my overall calorie intake low. In other words if I want a little rice with dinner, during the day I stick to my diet program meals or protein/vegetable only meals and be mindful of not adding any extras like dressings.
I am keeping positive and throwing myself into positive activities!
My motivational thought for this week....

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own.
And you know what you know. You are the guy who'll decide where to go.”
~Dr. Seuss~
It is up to ME to take this path and the attitude I am going to have while I am on it. The only thing stopping me.....is ME.

Seriously???
OK I am starting to think I am going to change the title of this blog to "I'm SO Stuck!"
The truth of the matter is I have allowed myself to get caught up in giving up. My eyes wandered to the huge long term goal and my courage and will power tuck-tailed and made a mad dash in search of something less daunting. Apparently when it comes to "fight or flight" I am more of a winged creature.
My numbers from weigh in to weigh in fluctuate from just below 300 to just over and I just can't seem to budge them...or won't budge them, either way the scale is making no progress (and neither am I.) My inches have been consistently moving down which is great, but to be honest with myself; as much as I want to allow myself to be satisfied with my little inch decline it isn't really progress. And, again being honest with myself, I know I am capable of MUCH better.
So.....I am checking in again. I know I have the tendency to become very blog quiet when I am not doing well (and although I have been crazy busy) I can no longer make excuses. The ability to make this happen is in me and I have to make the decision to do it! So....again....I am committing to keep this blog updated...good or bad.
Feel free to send me a virtual butt kick if you notice I've gone quiet!
