Ugh
Unfortunately, allergies have put my gym plans...and all my other plans on hold. I'm about to fall into a Benedryl coma, so this will be a rather quick update.
I've been trying to get into the habit of doing weigh-ins and setting little goals for myself every Sunday to prepare myself for the week. I think that I'm going up that to twice per week...just to make sure that I'm staying on track.
Here are a few things that I had in mind:
1) Stop being lazy with the calorie counting! This WORKS for me, but I hate having to dedicate the time to record everything that passes through my mouth. I can see it happening already. I've started to snack a little more and pretending like it doesn't count toward my daily total. NOT COOL.
2) MORE WATER!!! I don't drink nearly enough. I need to keep it pumping through my system all damn day. It'll keep me full and (duh) hydrated.
3) Fitness Goal: Maybe do a little less cardio and up the weights. I need to do squats and pleiometric exercises. Bathing suit season in upon me and I need to shape up these legs!
4) Weight loss goal: Maybe I'm being a little too ambitious, but I'd like to lose 10 lbs by June 23rd. If not 10, then I would be satisfied with 5.
Alright! I think that'll do it. Sunday's post will be a weigh-in and reaffirmation of goals.

ENOUGH!
I'm so tired of making commitments to myself and never following through. I have a tendency to put these kinds of things off until they become unimportant. I wasn't really angry at myself until I saw my fat pictures again.
I really have to admit that I have more success when I become my own watchdog. I was so embarrassed that I got back up to how much I weighed when I started this blog. I mean, I worked so hard to get to where I was when I dropped my original 40 lbs. I'm proud to say that not only have I reached the same weight when I lost the 40, but I'm now 2 lbs. under that!
I really stepped up my game. I moved to Ithaca last Fall, I joined a gym. Recently, I not only started counting my calories but I started making them count! I changed up my cardio routine and I saw immediate results. Don't get me wrong, I still have a long way to my goal. With continued discipline, hard work and moderate allowance to "cheat" every now and again, I know that I'll reach it.
Last weigh-in: 178.0
Will work out more goals later!
Keep me motivated!
