I don't have a whole lot of willpower. Never have. When things get tough I just want to sit back and eat or do nothing.
Last week things got away from me. I was busy cleaning my house, too hungover to do anything and ate too stuff that wasn't in my "plan". The weekend was another issue and I have a feeling it will continue to be. Unless I spend weekends alone in my house, they're going to continue being an issue.
So, sadly, when I weighed this morning, I was back at the dreaded 143.5. I started at 143. WTF. This SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! Just when I felt like my belly was getting a liiiiiiiitle smaller so I could wear a couple different things again, I'm back at square one. This sucks. I'm depressed now and I don't know what I'm going to do.
I made the executive decision that I'm NOT going to let this get the better of me this time. I'm going to say to myself, "Yeah, this sucks, but this is something I NEED to do." I'm not happy with myself and I'm sick of it.
My plan is this: hit the gym every night this week until Friday when we leave. Then, when I get back on Tuesday get back at it again right away. In Vegas, I know we'll be walking a lot. I'm just going to have to TRY to keep most of my meals under control and give myself one meal a day to splurge a little. I looked at our hotel and the fitness center costs $20 a time to go there. Fuck that is all I have to say about that! Especially because this is the paragraph where they talk about it:
"We know how important your health is, so at Monte Carlo guests can take advantage of the newest fitness equipment inside our facilities. Whether you choose to re-energize with a healthy workout or just sweat it out in our sauna, we’re certain you’ll leave feeling invigorated."
Really? Because if you ACTUALLY cared about how important our health is you wouldn't be charging 20 friggin' dollars a time! Okay, so Plan B is that I'll just try do as much walking as possible and hope for the best, right? Not sure what else to do in this situation.
Otherwise, I'm cracking down on my eating. I had a granola bar this morning (I was running late) and I brought a spinach salad with a little cheese and almonds and a small packet of tuna and a string cheese and the leftover peaches from last week. Let's all cross our fingers that it gets me through the day.
My plans for after work are to go to the mall and attempt to find some clothes for the weekend, go to the gym and get a few groceries to get me through the week. I might get a rotisserie chicken....that's a good way for me to eat well at lunch and dinner without having to do a whole lot of cooking. I can make sandwiches, salads, stir fries, fajitas, etc. from one purchase. It gets me a long way. I also need some fresh veggies and then I should be good to go for the week.

Don't be frusterated. You could be retaining water or it could be that time of month. You're doing great. It's not going to happen over night.
Bring your tennis shoes with and go for a half hour power walk on the strip & you'll feel good about it. Plus it will be nice to exercise outside in warm weather instead of stuck in a gym!!!!
Weekends do suck. Friday night I skipped dinner and just had beer. Saturday we went out for breakfast, ended up at Happy Hour with Beer & Pizza in the afternoon & then went bowling and had more beer & a club sandwich w fries...so I feel ya sister!
Vern has the same issue with willpower. He's upset that he only lost 3 lbs last week, but his food choices were not the best. He didn't say "no" to the french fries, and he didn't choose a salad when he should have.
When I crack down I don't allow myself to splurge more than once a week. I've found that the more I cut out the stuff I shouldn't be eating, the less I crave that stuff.
You can do it. We all have a bad week here and there, so you can't let it get you down!
