To be quite honest, I'm over the moon about only gaining 3 lbs this week. Most of the Easter weekend I was off plan food wise. To have pulled it all back between Tuesday and today and have only gained 3 lbs is a Miracle! I am however now sick of the constant up and down I'm experiencing and pretty upset that over the last 2 months I've not really lost anything! It's time to break out the secret weapons of "mass" distruction on my fat butt and get some regular losses! I know what needs to be done, and I know it's all down to me. I need to stop giving in to the stupid excuses that keep creeping in and taking me off plan. For a year I managed to avoid those stupid reasons fairly well, and the last 2 months I think I have given in to over confidence. "Look how well you have done Duane, Look how much exercise you have done Duane, You can afford to have a slive or 2 of Pizza, and maybe that doughnut, and pfft that Chocolate isn't going to do much damage!" Enough is enough! I know I have commited to be getting back on track a couple times over the last 2 months, but I seriously hope this is it and I really am back on track for good! I can let "life's little treats" get int he way now and again when i reach my end goal. Till then, I'll simply have to be stubborn and determined again like I was last year!
Positives and Negatives of the last two weeks:
+ Honestly a 3 lbs (1.36 kg) Gain is a MASSIVE Positive this week! Phew!
+ Spent 3 amazing days at a Theme Park (Alton Towers) with my family! This is something I used to love doing with Karen, but since putting on as much weight as I have, The safety Braces/harnesses havn't fitted over my belly, nevermind the fact I couldn't do the amount of walking involved in visiting a Theme Park. Over the last 3 or 4 years I have missed at least 3 family trips to Theme parks, but this year I got to go, and fitted on to all the rides and hand an AWESOME time!
+ I think I have eventually slapped myself in the face and am recognising the Stupid excuses I have been giving in to each time I have allowed myself to eat "Off Plan". Now I just have to get into the habit of saying NO again, and refocus that belief that I CAN lose all this weight!
Goals for this week:
1) Keep at 100% Food Optimising!
2) 2/3 Super Frees on as many meals as possible.
3) Eat More to make up for the amount of exercise I'm doing.
4) Full week of posting Food and Exercise on http://www.myfitnesspal.com/.
5) Make a habit of saying NO to excuses to go "Off Plan"
I got brave at Weigh-In tonight and commited myself to losing 6 lbs this week!
