12 weeks... Already?

51 lbs in 12 weeks!!!  Not too shabby considering I am doing this without weight loss surgery, without a nutritionist, no trainer, no personal chef.  LOL   What I do have, is the support of friends, family and my Hubby.  Using the Social media was an idea I had to create accountability for myself.  I never realised the amount of encouragement I would receive from my cyber friends.   People send me recipes, diet tips, and notes saying good job.  They want to see me succeed!  A sincere thanks to my supporters, I couldn't do this without you!

I cant believe I have to admit this...   LOL, I also ate about 4 smores! 

I cooked the marshmallows over the gas flame on my stove, how sad!  Damn the rain last Saturday night that kept us from having a fire at our party so the kids could eat smores.  I just have to keep the crap out of the house no matter what!

Would it be rude of me to ask my sister not to bring junk over for her daughter that I watch 5 days a week?  She packs her Brownies, fudge rounds, fruit snacks, animal crackers, chips....   Seriously?  Doesn't your kid eat anything healthy?   I find myself staring at the box of Little Debbie's, lusting over the sweet goodness, wondering if anyone would notice if I stole one...   Okay damn it, I did!  I ate a Fudge round the other day and it was delicious!  But I felt so guilty after not just for stealing it from a little girl, but for hurting myself.   I know that a little treat now and then is important, but that is not what this was.  I am a food addict and that Fudge Round was my crack.  I gave in to my addiction.  I must get back on the wagon!

Exercise log

On Monday night I walked for 40 minutes on the treadmill.  I set up a small TV near the mill so I could watch movies while I walk!  It def made the time pass faster!
Nothing Tuesday
Wednesday we did a family walk for 40 minutes in the heat...   I think I lost a pound in sweat!  LOL

Losing my mojo...

This happens every time I go on a diet.  I do really good, am totally motivated and completely commit ed. but then it gets boring and the old routines start creeping back...    It started with skipping my daily walk.  Maybe the weather was too warm?  Or maybe I needed to pack for a family getaway?  I found excuses not to walk...   I'm still doing pretty good with my food intake.   Most days I eat a very low cal, low fat, healthy diet, but I have given into temptation a few times.   I ate pizza and crazy bread, I ate some cheesy poofs as a snack, I drank my calories in the form of adult beverages...    Why does this feel like confession?  Forgive me followers for I have sinned.   LOL
I have not given up my quest, I am still on target to hit my goal of 299 by NYE!  That's Just about 2 pounds a week.  Now I need to get my ass back in gear and start fighting again!
