It's not pretty.
I've been struggling the past several days. There is no need to lie about it. It's been rough.
I had good intentions, like I always do. I started out with a plan, albeit a half ass plan. It was something. Then, it all went to hell. There was a lunch that escalated into a couple lunches that snowballed into a few dinners that became 2 slices of wedding cake that became "Omg, why isn't my zipper staying up?".
And that's where I am right now. Feeling really fat, bloated and gross.
I was dreading the scale today and even thought about avoiding it. That was just a silly thought though. The whole reason I'm in this mess is because I haven't been accountable and haven't been honest about my progress. I've fallen into that rut where it becomes okay to think that you can binge today because you can always start over tomorrow. Of course, tomorrow becomes the next day and the next day and the next day and there you are.
So, here we are.
199.8
That's a gain of 5.2.
Makes me want to cry.
I know this journey is going to be full of ups and downs and highs and lows and yes, even gains along with the losses. So, why do I feel like such a loser?
I certainly don't have the answers. I could cut myself some slack and I kindof have. But, I know that's not the mindset I need. It's okay to forgive myself for the little slips, but not this. If I forgive myself for this, in my mind that will make it okay and it will continue.
I need to turn it around and get back on track. Tomorrow is another day. Tomorrow is when I start. Again.
I need to set a short term goal to help keep me motivated. I'll get back to you on that. Tomorrow.
I can do this. I know we all can.
Who's with me?

Omg. I have really been slacking on the BLitz lately. Also the Bitz. My last post was on Friday the 9th?! Wtf?! My bloggy land membership card should be revoked or something.
I'm not even going to try and re-log what I've eaten since Friday. It's pointless. Let's just say that I sorta stayed on track. I didn't go overboard, but I didn't exactly kick ass either.
Of course, I had a bit of a gain. I think it was 1.8 but I'm not sure right now. I weighed in on Tuesday, wrote it down with the intent to post it and then never got a chance to do it. I'm at work right now (shhh don't tell my boss) posting and don't have my exact weight with me. (Fail)
On the bright side, I worked out this week. I did Slim in 6 Monday with weights. I also walked up and down the mall last night. I also did yoga Monday night after Slim in 6.
So, what the heck have I been doing if I haven't been here on the BLitz doing what I'm supposed to be doing? Well, I've just been living my life. Nothing exciting. Work. Home. Repeat. Some other stuff has been thrown in there too.
Go here to find out more about why I am a slackass. You just may want to wait a bit because I may not get a chance to update that until later given how my day is going so far.
Stupid work.
Always interfering with my Bitz.
I will get back to posting my daily food log because it's something that works for me. I will also get back on track with the exercise and meal planning because it also works for me. I will do these things, not because I feel guilty (although I do). I will do them because I want this.
Sorry if I haven't checked in with you all lately. I will be fixing that.
Hope you are all doing well on your journeys.
Later. And lighter.
