No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
Where to Begin...
I haven't posted in a couple of days because I'm not sure where to begin on telling everyone about how bad I've been! Saturday went really well...I had a girls night out with a couple of friends. We went to a "gourmet" Mexican place where I ordered the Brisket Tacos (Slow cooked brisket in hand-made corn tortillas. I only ate 2 of the tortillas and didn't eat ANY of the rice it came with. I only had a few chips, then we each had one of their specialty drinks which is Sangria swirled with Margarita topped with a shot of Chambord. So I did great at dinner! Then the plan started going awry. We were supposed to see Sex and the City, but due to our waiter taking FOREVER to get us the bill, we didn't get to the theater until right as the movie was starting and the place was SO packed that after driving around for 15 minutes trying to find ONE spot open, we gave up and decided to go out for drinks and dessert. Granted, I'm with My size 4 and size 2 friends...so I'm doubting this is a bad idea to them.
We ended up at another gourmet mexican place where my friend (thinking she was being sweet), ordered me a Chango...FRIED Cheesecake covered in whipped cream. What can I say...it was heaven...but certainly NOT on my points!
That seemed to set off 2 days of really bad eating! Sunday involved not only McDonald's for lunch, but the husband and I ordered Pizza for dinner. If anyone has ever read my blog before, you know my super addiction to Pizza. It wasn't pretty.
Then comes Sunday morning at 3 AM when the husband wakes me up to tell me the water heater has leaked again and flooded our guest bedroom closet. So there we are at 3 AM trying to use the wet/dry vac to sop up some water from the carpets and unloading everything from the closet. So Monday didn't start off well. However I was determined to not let it get me down, so I packed a healthy lunch, healthy snacks, and had a dinner plan. I did all these things and seemed to be heading in the right direction...then the munchies hit. I could NOT stop snacking and I REALLY didn't care! I couldn't even tell you all of the things I stuffed in my mouth last night because I am of course not journaling.
I think I'm in a funk...which happens every once in awhile. I am so just "defeated" that I feel like I don't care about what I eat because I'm happy with where I'm at. But the truth is, I am NOT happy with where I'm at. That is misleading, because yes, I feel great when I see myself in pics now, and I feel great fitting into my new clothes, but that nagging fact of "But you are so close to your goal of 145" is still there. Why am I so obsessed with seeing that number? Will I ever get there? Will all this be worth it when I do?
Okay...that seems to be enough of my pity party for the day. I have personal training tonight which will be great to burn all those extra calories! I hope I can keep my snacking under control tonight because I know that once I pop out of this funk, I'll regret throwing it all away for a few days of not caring. So...wish me luck ladies...and I hope you are all doing way better than me this week!

You should be happy with where you're at...you've come a long way and you look fantastic. And there isn't anything magic about goal. But that doesn't mean you don't deserve to achieve what you set out to achieve. You're really close, and you can do this!
