Time to stop putting this off and just blog.
I'd like to come at you with good news, but I have quite the opposite. I finally weighed myself after about a week of not stepping on the scale; partly out of fear and partly just couldn't be bothered. I knew I'd been bad cuz we'd had a few different types of cakes and goodies around the house for my sister's and nephew's BDays. So, of course, I indulged. I'd still be going to the gym and I didn't think it was too bad, but apparently, it was. I've put on like 6lbs. FML. Honestly though, I didn't notice a change in how my clothes fit before, but I feel like I do now. But anyway, what did I do after I weighed myself? I went to the gym and burned 1000 cals. And then after that? Had chicken fingers and poutine and went to a movie (where I got popcorn) and all kinds of wonderful healthy things. And then today, I was 95% ready to go to the gym, and then I just got lazy and decided not to go. But I didn't stay home and veg out in front of the TV. I cleaned my room a bit, watched my nephew, and just had water. But anyway, something needs to be done.
I'm really hoping that the time I take off of work for my eye surgery will help me get into some sort of routine and I'll come up with a meal plan for myself and all that good stuff. That being said, one thing that I was told was that I was going to have to take Gravol with my pain meds cuz they can do a number on your stomach. So, I may just end up eating crackers for several days. lol. But ya, all I can really do for now is try to be good, not skip work outs and keep reminding myself to take things one day at a time. And go through the "Thinspiration" folder on my computer a lot to help keep me going. Reading things like "think of your diet as a marriage; you can't cheat on it and expect things to be ok" or "even if it's not a great work out, it's still better than nothing". I'm also hoping I can kick things into overdrive and use Florida as motivation. Really, if I can just go like 10lbs lighter than I was last year, that'll be a victory for me. And that's actually pretty do-able in a healthy way.
Anywho, I'm just gonna go back to hating myself and trying not to binge on everything in sight. Later taters.
