Oops I did it again

Well, here I go again..the worst thing I could ever do is give up... and I'm not going to do that. Yes I've made a a few wrong turns & needed to make a few detours lately. But I will not give up, I was lost for a bit there but now I know where I'm at and where I need to go. I have a dream to be thin & healthy and I will do everything I can to make that dream a reality

WISH ME LUCK

Day 34

Super Bowl Sunday is coming up. I heard a news report that people eat anywhere from 2000 to 6000 calories during the Super Bowl alone. That is insanity! That's almost my whole calorie intake for the week. My goal is to consume anywhere from 1000- 1100 calories daily. So, 6000 calories is almost a weeks worth for me. I plan to not go much off my normal plan. Maybe a little bit of an indulgence, but we are making healthy food & snacks. Portions size isn't a big deal for me anymore because I get pretty full fast and I've taught myself what a normal portion size looks like. I believe that's part of the reason why it's a bit easier for me to breathe nowadays because I'm not constantly full.
I'm going to try not to be such a food Nazi where my husband is concerned, especially on Super Bowl Sunday. I kind of have this nasty habit of expecting others, specifically my hubby to be doing things just the same as I am. So, If I want him to no longer continue on our healthier path... then I should just keep on bugging him about things. Or I can let him make his own decisions, support him no matter what because he's a big boy & no matter what he always supports me. I mean seriously I could literally eat an entire bag of Chip Ahoy's, an entire pizza & 4 famous stars (not that I've ever done that before or ever could even if I wanted to) in one sitting and he would never judge me. I have an amazing, incredible, wonderful, did I I say amazing, husband that I love more than anything in this world. So my goal this Super Bowl Sunday is to mind my own business... and let him & everyone for that matter and make their own food decisions without judgment, second glances or scolding from me. Who the heck do I think I am anyway? So anyway,
Wish Me Luck!

Day 31

The last few days have been pretty lackadaisical about tracking my food and updating my blog however even thoug I've been a bit absent, please know I haven't been off track at all.On Sunday we had a family going away get together for my nephew who is going away to cooking school in New York, & I was really good. I had small portions and chose only healthy things. My hubby has been cooking out of Weight Watchers recipe books just about every day to make sure we don't get bored... and he's a great cook too. Plus I haven't strayed off my plan in any way. Nota single cookie or cupcake for anything I really wanted. But the good thing is I don't feel deprived. I am breathing better & I do have more energy, but man I have to say I'm going to be really irritated if I don't lose weight on Thursday when I weigh in again. If I don't lose weight it'll be two weeks almost since I lost anything. Next couple days I'm going to really concentrate on drinking my water and exercising. I'm determined for the scale to move in the correct direction.
Wish Me Luck!
