The Numbers – 6

Yes ma’am – I’ve lost a total of six pounds and let me say, each pound has been a struggle. I admit, I’m having a really difficult time just keeping myself on my program. I accept full responsibility for what I put in my mouth – and I realize that willpower alone will accomplish nothing – but I feel like every meal is an uphill battle lately.

What’s really frustrating for me is that in general, I eat pretty healthy. I love veggies, salad, fruit and while I have a weakness for carbs, it’s already ingrained in me to eat the bulk of my carbs by lunchtime. I just seem to be HUNGRY all the time! GRRR….

I am an emotional eater and it doesn’t help that it is abnormally cold here in Ohio. I have a tendency to hibernate when the weather is really cold so I’m fighting against staying inside and being warm and getting my chubby butt outside in the cold for some exercise. Lame excuse – I know. The good news is that I have been hitting the pool three times a week and that is helping out a lot.

So my goal for the week is get back on track, stay on track and have a good week. What’s your goal?
