I stepped on the scale this morning, to have it ring in at 181. This morning I feel ill because I am coming down with a cold and all last night I was thinking about how I can't start my diet on a Monday. Then I realized my reason I felt so strongly about what day of the week I start is setting me up for failure as it is. I wanted to make sure that my weigh in day was right before the weekend. Like a Friday so I could splurge and then have time to make up for what I over ate. Yes, this is and has always been the reason for me putting off starting my diet is to make sure I have some splurge room. It is becoming more and more clear as to why I have not been succeeding at this, for years.
Anyway, after stepping on the scale this morning I thought this has got to be it! I have got to stop this and change NOW! I packed my breakfast, lunch & snacks. Dinner could have been better but I planned it while at work so I came home and started cooking. I sat down tonight & tracked everything I put into my mouth came in under 1400 calories. It's a great start! Tried to stay focused on positive thoughts even w/ this cold I am trying to fight off. I have 4 weeks until our family picture. I would love to lose 10 lbs or even 12 that would put me under 170 and I would feel pretty good about that. Not sure if it is realistic but I am going and this has to be it I have to keep going not giving up just cause it makes me cranky or because the longer I am at this weight the worse off my health & body is going to be. Healthy me here I come. It make take me a while to get there but I am on my way!
