Struggles

Well yesterday, day 4, was insanely hard. I am trying to figure out why--what was or is different about Wednesdays that are hard? I did cheat I had some tomato soup and a sliver of grilled cheese sandwich. Obviously I cannot clean off the table after the kids eat when I am weak. I ended up eating some of their leftovers. I talked to my sister yesterday and she also struggled so I told her "tommorow is a new day with no mistakes in it" (thank you Anne Shirley). I am trying to prove that point is true today by not cheating today. I will report how it goes. I do think that sometimes on diets when we mess up we think "oh, well might as well really cheat". I was able to stop last night before it got too bad (I did lose weight today still 3/4 of a pound).
Here are my goals: Phase 1--Eat right, lose 50lbs
Phase 2--Increase exercise, lose 35 more lbs
Phase 3--Exercise maintain weightloss
A more short term goal is to look good for my trip to Florida in December.

New Beginnings

Okay so we started this blog before when we were doing a group to lose weight. It ended in June. I have decided to take over the blog and use it as my personal journal through losing weight. Today is Day 3 for me. I have lost 7 lbs so far. Today was hard. Let me tell you--you know you have a sugar addiction when you are cleaning the floor and find a piece of chocolate and think "I few carpet hairs won't taste so bad" (I know totally gross)! I didn't eat it I threw it away but I really wanted some sugar today. I am trying to find new things to do to take my mind off of what I can't have. I am hoping that by writing a "journal" about the struggles with losing weight will help me be healthier and lighter. Tomorrow I will define my long term goals and my short term goals. I have invited two others to join me to be healthier and lose weight. I don't know if they will blog but hopefully together we can lose weight and more importantly be healthier.
