Missed Weigh-In
Apr 06 2008 08:16

I missed a weigh-in on Friday with my group ... this is the first time on this journey I've been so disappointed I've not been able to even admit what is happenening.

This is my second week with a gain, and I know what is causing it.  I've just been making really poor food choices, and snacking too much.  Actual portion control I'm still doing okay, but lately I've not been able to keep away from the junk I get for the kids on occasion.  This weekend is really bad, usually they would be out of town with their dad and the stuff wouldn't even be here, but they are ... and it is. 

My biggest downfall is not logging food.  I've obviously got a handle on portion sizes, just not on accountability. 

SO ... rather than wallow in it, I'm going to use today as a fresh start.  My husband got some news on Friday related to his weight and health.  Also, I have a goal, too - a  very specific, short-term one.  I want to lose 10 pounds by May 24.  Some band friends of mine from my hometown are booked to play here and have asked me to work up a song to sing with them.  I'd like to be a little trimmer and look a little better ... and mostly, be back in control of ME before I get onstage in front of a bunch of strangers.

Wish me  ... not luck.  Wish me dedication!
