So I know its been almost a month since my last post...I have no excuse other than a heavy work load and lack of motivation.
An update on the lost pounds...I'm down 47.2 lbs. A bit disappointed that I haven't hit my 50 lb mark yet. But I have no one to blame but myself.
I've fallen off the wagon...okay, scratch that...I'm still on the wagon but I'm hanging off the edge and my feet are dragging on the ground. I have been doing to many things that I know I shouldn't and I've gotten fed up with myself. My snacking has been out of control. Not only have I been indulging in unmeasured and non-counted chocolate and chips at work but I have also been grazing like crazy at home. If I'm waiting for dinner to cook or trying to decide what to make, I'll grab a cracker here, a few chips there, some almonds, and maybe even some pepperoni without tracking any of it. I've gone back to eating a lot of processed and junk food. There have been many Taco Bell evenings...even a night of McDonald's (during which I didn't even consider WW...lets just say my meal was only -10 from what I get for the WHOLE DAY!). Chips, boxed pasta/mac&cheese, cookies, and candy have taken over my snacking. My fruit and veggie intake has decreased. Its just not pretty.
My weight loss has slowed (I've been under 1 lb per week for the last 4 weeks) and my satisfaction with myself has decreased. But I know I can recommit and do this. I've spent the last hour or so re-reading some of the WW plan materials that you receive when you first join. I'm re-committing myself to making my lunches and stop the grazing and snacking without tracking. I am going to work on going to the gym and really push hard to get back on track. I can't let myself fall off now...the holidays are going to be tough and I'm determined to go into them strong minded and motivated.
