...was a pretty good day. I stuck to my plan, didn’t eat after 8pm and even managed to still have a decent dinner with my husband.

Breakfast:
2 slices of whole wheat toast w/ Nutella(horrible choice, but if you read my last post, you’ll know that it’s part of what prompted me to get my weight under control)
Coffee w/ fat free vanilla creamer

Lunch:
Lean Cuisine Frozen dinner
Rice cake

Dinner:
1 cup vegetable pasta w/ 1/4 cup marina sauce
1/4 cup shredded cheese
1 cup mized vegetables

(Total calories=1,579)

Kind of a lot of calories, but Sparkpeople set my goal to be between 1,200 and 1,550…I would have probably made it if I had eaten a healthier breakfast.

As far as exercise, I was actually pretty active yesterday:
I burned 135 calories on my Wii Active
Did the Denise Austin Pilates Video
Played tennis outside for about an hour

Yesterday was hard, but not unmanageable and the scale budged a little this morning which will hopefully give me the extra umph to keep going!

I hope everyone else is doing great!

So…I was sitting on the couch this morning eating two slices of toast slathered with nutella when I happened to see down my own shirt and notice a disturbing pocket of fat forming between my boobs. Really!? Decided (for the hundredth time) that I need to get my weight in check. Took some Dexatrim Daytime Appetite Control…not sure if I think it really works or if I just feel a little stronger with an extra weapon up my sleeve…planned a fitness routine for the rest of the week…regretted that I let my husband cancel our gym membership last month…EEK weighed myself…worked out with my Wii Active (so much better than Wii Fit and it totally works up a sweat)...struggled through Denise Austin Pilates DVD…realized I HATE that DVD with a passion…planned a healthy shopping list…and now here I am writing on 43things for extra motivation and logging my calories and exercise on Sparkpeople. Wanting to believe in myself but horribly hoping I won’t fail again..

Weight: 179.5
Goal:130

I haven’t posted on here in a really long time, but I felt I really needed the support.

After two days of eating healthy I broke down and binged, with the horrible crash and dissapointment that inevitably always follows. Spent an hour eating everthing in sight and then at least two hours in bed so angry at myself for letting go.

Woke up with no desire to go through that again, but once a week one of our friends hosts dinner and drinks at their house and the rest of us show up without any input about what’s being served—it’s fun and the idea is that you don’t have to worry about doing any prep or cooking until it’s your turn…but…i always worry when it’s at someone else’s house because i never know if I’ll be able to try and eat healthy. What an added dread to something that I actually look forward to each week!!
