bexeez

So, a friend of mine and myself took a weekend trip to Philadelphia this past weekend. And I definitely splurged. I had a great dinner, (carne asada included in thie meal!) along with a few margaritas, and some sugary snacks which were mostly consumed on my way back, as a very sad way to stay awake for the drive back.

I admit, I definitely fell off this weekend, but I’m not beating myself up about it. We walked everywhere this weekend. The only time we took a cab was on the way back to our hotel from the Mutter Museum, after our legs couldn’t work anymore! Oh, and we took a cab to the restaurant Saturday nite, because we had reservations and didn’t want to be late, seeing as we didn’t know where we were going! 

Again, I’m not beating myself up over this past weekend. I needed to splurge a little, so I did. Today is Monday, a new day, a new week. So I’m going to remember that carne asada being the best ‘carne’ EVER, relish the memory of it on my lips, and get back on track this week.

I’ve learned from past weight loss attempts that if I don’t indulge once in a while, I will break, and lose progress. Also, I look at things like this as very very special occasions, and I don’t do it hardly at all.

So I’m back on track today. And I’m so happy I don’t feel bogged down with guilt about this past weekend!!!

Happy Monday All!!!!

Gooooood Morning All! Although its technically ‘afternoon’ for me…. as my work day started at 4:15am…. (I work in Television Production. Nothing fancy,  engineering/production operator for an ABC affliate.) I am tiiiiired….

Kinda cranky today…. its one of those days I guess. I want to eat eat eat!! But I also want to work out for hours…. Its gotta be hormones. Step One Accomplished- Emotions to blame!!! Good thing I took some snacks to work today, some carrots and a cheese stick…. should help get me through my day!!!

Just gotta stay focused!! “Feelin good, feelin good”…. I feel like I’m gonna punch out some of these guys at work…. YAY Hormones!!! (perhaps that could count towards my workout tally…hmmm…)

Ok. I’m done. I’ll probably post again by the end of my day. I need to find another distraction from my work.

Til Next time….

Its the little goals, I’m tellin ya. I want to lose weight, a bunch of it. Always have, and I always will, until I actually lose it. So… I am starting small. Taking in the small goals. Goals like fitting into jeans without having to do that little ’stretch-dance’, or being able to zipper the front of that hoodie and not feel that by boobs are gonna bust through.

 I’m having a good day, because I can (almost) do the above…. (my ’stretch-dance’ is shorter, and I like to think the hoodie ‘hugs’ me now…) PLUS, and this is a big one, I was able to go to Olive Garden last nite, and came out with 3 accomplishments. Number one, being that I was able to set aside half of my dinner, and not feel deprived. I learned that digestion takes time, and with that time comes the feeling of feeling full!! Numero Dos, I wasn’t full enough to not feel sexy. I was still able to put on a sexy lingerie piece and play with my boyfriend last nite…. yeehaw!! And last but not least, when I stepped on the scale this morning, I was down a pound!!!!

 My trick to yesterday was that my Olive Garden dinner was a combo of lunch and dinner, ‘lunner’, if you will. And I also did about 55 minutes of cardio prior to this outting. Plus, I don’t do this that often, so I was able to indulge a little. (It was our celebration for Valentine’s day, seeing as I’ll be outta town this weekend)

 I’m feeling good! And I’m excited. I’m determined to make this weightloss attempt better than the last. I’m losing weight different this time, and I’m determined to keep it off. Better goals, better outlook.

 I will dive into how this time is different in my next blog.

Ok, back to work.

Peace out, fellow Losers.
