Weigh in 8/31

Weigh in day again.
I'm down 1 pound from last week. 7.8 total.
Yay!

I am celebrating this loss, but I am still disappointed in myself for not stepping it up more. The little losses are encouraging me but I still feel like I'm in a rut.

I think a lot of it has to do with stress and the weather. When I'm feeling stressed, I tend to get in a funk where I just want to be on the couch in my pajamas. Sometimes that means I binge, which I actually haven't done this time around. That's a small victory.

I've also been lazy because of the weather. I've been itching to hit the trails and hike with the pup but it's just been too hot. Yeah, I could easily work out at home, but...refer to the above mentioned funk.

It's a vicious cycle that I need to break out of. I always feel so much better when I exercise and I know that's what will really give me the results I want.

This should be easy. Just do it. Just move my fat ass.
So, why is is so hard to get into a routine and stick to it?
How do you do it? What's your secret?

Eats for Saturday 8/28

MB and I attended a wedding. With open bar. That presents a huge challenge for a beer lover like myself. MB was faced with similar challenges as a beer lover himself. He was my designated driver. Poor guy was bored out of his mind as he watched me throw some back.
Aside from the beer, we ate pretty well. The meal was pretty healthy. If I wasn't so insecure about shaking my fat ass in public, I would've earned some activity points dancing. However, I am super insecure and was not drunk enough to let go of that insecurity. So, no activity points were earned.
Stupid insecurity. Grrr.

Never serve asparagus at a wedding or large event where multiple guests will be using the bathroom. It smells funny. (teeheehee)
