Mind over matter

Yesterday was a little tough.  I didn't cheat but I was feeling "snacky" and over-munched a bit.  

I also had my lowest level of water drunk in a day so far (40 oz.)

I went over my carb intake slightly but hit my sugar intake on the head.

Today will be better.

Pizza??

Last night I realized that on the BFC diet, I could have PIZZA!  2 slices even!

Two slices of pizza, an antipasto salad and 2 tbsp of dressing cost me 4 servings of carbs and about 10 of my sugar allotment for the day.

WORTH. IT!

I went over my sugar intake by about .375.

Not too shabby.

Today I'm doing well, not gonna have pizza again though... making a fish dinner. :)   I'm doing really well with water intake.... though I've yet to hit my gallon goal (that's a LOT of water!)

I am blowing away the "8 glasses a day" rule.... so there's that.  :)  I've had 40 oz so far today. :)

Come on Monday! <--- never thought I'd say THAT!

Let's see what that weigh-in will bring...

Wow...

Staying under 15 grams of sugar is tougher than I thought!

Sticking with it though!

#thatisall

Welp...

I weighed in like I said I would and shit's worse...

213.8

Been great on my diet today so ....

29 more days to go!

Sputter, sputter, cough... vrooom!

Hi!

OK, so yeah, I didn't do my dieting at all.

Truth be told, I've been depressed because I've been unable to get a job. But.... HUZZAH!  I got hired yesterday!! Yay!!

When I'm sad/depressed about something, food is my comfort and self-harm.  I want to do something self-destructive when I'm upset and food is usually my weapon of choice.

BUT! My biggest problem has just resolved itself... and I need to go ahead and move forward with my second "big" problem <---- ha! that's a weight joke!

So, here we go.... I'm gonna start back up on Monday being as my tracker starts on Mondays.  I'll still weigh-in though because that's just gotta happen.

This weekend I'm gonna try to keep the eating to a human level.  ;)

TGIF!

Ha!

So after that post, I immediately launched into a fail.

Whatever, I'm weighing in today anyway... so here's my updated stats.

I'm currently in the process of making a breakfast quiche (low carb)...

My 30 day challenge starts today -- again... being as I refuse to give myself credit for screwing up... so my 30 days reset every time I mess up.  Maybe THAT'LL learn me! :P

Ok, so here's today's weight:

213.4

So that's +.4  But being as I only work in halves, I'm staying with 213.  I have some inspiration jars I made that only deal with .5's so that's what I'm doing.

Here's a pic of them!

Onward and upward!!! (or downward as the case may be)...

20 years is half my life and long enough!

I have been overweight for 20 years.  Ever since I had my son.

That's exactly half my life.

I've gone up and down in all those years... actually even got half way to my goal weight once and BLAM.... I fell right back into my usual patterns...

I'm an emotion eater.  I get self-destructive when I'm upset... and I use every excuse in the book to cheat.

I'm keeping this blog to try to keep myself on track.  Again.

I decided to try the Belly Fat Cure "diet"... <--- gah! How I hate that word!

I found this fantastic blog where I downloaded a tracker.  See that site HERE.

And to keep myself honest, I'm sharing my tracker each week with you HERE.

Today, is day one.  It's a partial week but I'm going to weigh in on Mondays (it keeps me honest through the weekend -- or at least I like to think it does).

I really only want to lose about 45 lbs-ish then re-assess to see how I feel.  (I think "thicker" girls are sexy. ;) )

Shortly I will be putting up my "before" picture.... god help us all.
