End of Week I forget

Okay, so I don't know what week I am on, but my weigh in yesterday was 188.6 lbs! I'm only .4 lbs short of 20! I am determined to have lost at least 21 lbs total by next Monday. I know this means that I need to get back on feeding my body enough of the good stuff so that I have less temptation from the not-as-good or even bad stuff to eat. That has been my problem for the last little while. I know also that my mind needs to be in a better place (not staying up til Midnight every night might help!) so that I can take care of myself:

I went to the store last night--I was very tired already--and saw some of those really bad, prepackaged breakfast danishes that have the dutch crumble type stuff on them, and realized something; I was tempted, and the last time that I remember really looking at them, I was not. Then I realized that something has changed in me to cause that. I was letting myself slip back into old habits of not dealing with my problems and stresses, because I am tired. The thing is, with going back to school, I will be tired. I don't need to add to the problem by feeding my body crud, which depresses the metabolism as well as the endocrine system and immune system. The best way to stay focused is to do what I need to do, even if it's not always what I think I want at the time, and what is convenient.

Hey babes! Long time no post!! How goes the journey? Mine is just ok. I've lost about 25, which means I have about 30 to go. It gets tough for me after the initial success. Are you finding this to be true for you too?

WE CAN DO THIS!!! I'm here to support you all you need! Let me know if there's something I can do. I just joined a new Spark People group which is a month-long challenge, called "Sweatsuits to Swimsuits Bootcamp" or something like that. I need a short, attainable goal to get me moving again.

Just a thought. :-) Stay in touch!!
