True Confessions

Its confession time again. And boy oh boy do I need to confess! Last week I spent three or four days unable to eat anything due to a nasty stomach bug. This helped trmendously with my weigh in. Bad news is, once I was able to eat again... I wanted to eat EVERYTHING! It was crazy, and I didn't realize how bad I was eating (I wasn't keeping track) until it was too late. Once I finally realized how bad my food choice were continously being... it was too late. Or least too late for this week anyway.

I had allowed my self to splurge some because I had been so sick, I felt like I deserved it. Problem is that I didn't stop at one splurge. I was like an acoholic with liquor.  It.was.horrible.

Now that I have came to my senses I am SO angry at myself. I had been finally rockin this weight loss thing.. and I let myself blow it this horribly in one week! Ugghh!

I suppose I need to look at it from the point of few that this is only one week. There are many more to stay on track and shed those ugly pounds that found me again.   No getting frustrated and negative self talk, because that just leads to more bad food choices. I need to own up to my mistakes and move on.
So that is exactly what I'm going to do. Here is to a better week next week.

Tuesday True Confessions (better late than never!)

Its that time again! Confession time at the Shrinking Jeans! I was hoping I wouldn't have anything to confess this week, but looks like that didn't work out so well. This week we took the plunge and adopted a 7 month old lab/cheasapeake bay retriever. Take a look at her adorbale self here. 

Taking on the responsibility of having a puppy was much more overwhelming and stressful than I could ever have realized! That being said... I let that keep me from making the right decisions when it came to eating. I also spent most of my time when I wasn't working or sleeping, entertaining Cinnamon, so exercise was kind sent to the wayside.

Weekly Confessions:
1. Eating out too much and not making healthy choices
2. Letting life overwhelm me and put "me" on the back burner
3. Not finding time to exercise

The good news is, I have adjusted to the puppy somewhat so the issues the past week will hopefully disappear this week.

Tuesday- True Confession

It's confession time! I was doing so well with counting points... keeping it all together staying within my points target, exercising and losing weight. I had been even enforcing my willpower each and every time someone in my department brought in cake, cookies, doughnuts and other goodies. Of which said goodies are always placed at the empty cubicle directly behind me. So every time I move they are in eye sight.

On Thursday I caved... we had cake.. and I decided a small piece wouldn't be so bad. However, I had no idea how to count points for it. I though one little splurge wouldn't hurt, right? Wrong! Because for me one little splurge leads to another, then another.

After the cake, it was decided that our department was ordering out for lunch... Dominos. I hate Dominos. But to go along with the group I ordered.  I decided on the cheapest thing.. cheesy bread. Again not a wise move. Didn't count points that day after about 10 am.

Last night B and I went out for dinner. I should have picked somewhere that I could eat healthy, but I didn't. Buffalo Wild Wings it was. Enough Said.

I don't know if its because TOM is lurking its evil head, or the fact that for some reason although I am eating all of my points I feel like I am starving.  Maybe both. I felt like an alcoholic the past few days, once I got a taste of the "good stuff" I couldn't stop.

But today is a new day, I am back to counting points. No beating myself up.. won't do me any good now. Just hopefully, the scale won't reflect how horribly I have eaten.

It's really awful that you can screw up your awesome weightloss efforts in a day or two.

True Confession Tuesday

The past week I was gung-ho about getting in all my exercise and kicking butt this week. That was until the head cold/turned sinus infection reared its ugly head again. I finally decided that the over the counter meds weren't just going to cut it, and I went to the Dr this morning, indeed a sinus infection. So for the past two weeks I have been feeling totally blah. No energy, no drive to do anything. Although I did manage to get to the gym twice.. I know not a lot, but better then nothing. Now PMS is kicking in full force. Like the sinus headache, pressure and congestion isn't enough. Top that with junk food cravings and moodiness...look out world!

So my confessions for the week are that I didn't do what I set out to do, which was go to the gym every day. I totally threw the concept of counting calories out the window, and after about the 2nd day of the week I didn't have a clue that water existed.

So now that I have my meds, I should be feeling better in a day or two and maybe in turn I can control my PMS issues a little better and get myself back on track.

I only have about 2 1/2 months until we are (if time permits with the move) going to the beach. I REALLY don't wanna look like a beached whale when I get there. That SHOULD be motivation enough right there.
