I haven't had a good past couple of days either. today included. but tomorrow
ugh, tomorrow, it'll have to be tomorrow. I'm just, tired of allowing myself to fuck up.
I want to work out and sweat tomorrow. I want to feel good when I go to bed tomorrow

went for a run, and it sucked. like, idk if it was because I'm out of shape, or was just already tired, or if it was because it's cold out, but I just couldn't push myself very far

Did much better on food today than I have the past few days. I even talked myself out of an extra dessert I'd wanted all day, realizing I didn't really want it. So, small victory.

It's supposed to be a little warmer tomorrow, so I'm probably going to try to run again.

That's awesome Beth, I'm so proud of you! You're so close and I believe you can get there. Then it's just a matter of setting the next goal.



I did run today. I was hoping to run twice, because when I do while I'm working, I'll run on my two 15-minute breaks. I did the first one, and it was okay. Based on my stopwatch, my pace was the same as usual, but I felt so sluggish. So that's why I only did one. That and I ended up taking my second break later than I wanted to. But it's something.

I'm thinking though I might have some extra ice cream tonight, and just count those calories toward tomorrow. idk though. I won't have any ice cream left tomorrow, so if I don't go to the store, it might work

great job running becca! hope you've been having a good few days!

It's been okay. Running is on hold again because cold. But still walking of course. And I've been okay on food. Not great, but not binging. But it's always easier to not binge on weekdays. Though last night wasn't as well. Not terrible, just more than I had planned because I didn't realize until after I ate them that the cookies I baked I had selected the wrong one in my app and they were twice as many calories as I thought. Oh well. I think the scale only went up because I was bloated though.

I'm kind of worried how I"m going to behave this weekend. Especially since we're getting a snow storm.

I have good news! I am officially 0.4lbs under my weight goal for the end of the month! I made it! my next goal is to hit 262.6lbs by the end of February, and if i make it to that weight before Valentine's Day I will set a new goal!! That's less than 8lbs away so I think it's doable! I am so happy with my progress.

But I am so happy for you! Keep the momentum going!

well I definitely didn't do great today. But I went for an hour and twenty minute walk in the snow, so hopefully that'll make up for some of it.

and it wasn't a terrible day, I don't think. but if it's the only "bad" day this weekend, then that's good. I at least have my dinner for tomorrow night planned, and it should be relatively healthy. at least it'll be homemade, and not just pre-prepared freezer food that just requires reheating. and I'll be snowed in, so it's not like I can run out to get more food.

better today. Still more than I wanted to eat, but still within an acceptable range. I just couldn't get over the "i want to eat just to eat" mood
but thankfully I had no desire to leave my house, so I couldn't go get food, and my snacking options were limited.

for that matter, I didn't go for any walks today. But I did do like, 400 jumping jacks. maybe 500, I can't remember.

I really want to make February my month. January was not. In fact, January was worse. well, maybe not worse in that I probably didn't gain as much weight as I did in December, but I did gain more weight, so, there's that.
I just, need to do better

okay, that was... one good day
fuck me forgetting that January was 31 days, not 30, so when I realized that my goblin brain went "one more day to binge"
and I was going to fight that off until uncle frank showed up and my goblin brain thought "best get it out of the way now, you'll be bloated tomorrow anyway"

so, yeah. bought some cake. (and chocolate, but that's more easily rationed)
I mean, minor victory is that I didn't buy the other thing I saw and wanted, which was a container of chip-whiches. and I thought "fuck, I'm not eating 6 of those things in one night, and I refuse to eat any tomorrow" so I put them back. at least the cake was a single person sized serving

update: I ate all the frosting off the cake and threw away the cake. I guess that's all I really wanted.

I guess today was a good day. Not as much walking as usual, but I did clean the house, so that counts as something.
and I did eat less than I have the past couple days. So I just hope I see something positive on the scale tomorrow.
I know my period has to be affecting my weight, but it's so discouraging to see the same exact weight 3 days in a row.
idk why I'm continuing to update here.

debating on just not eating tomorrow

let's try this again.
14 days. where can I be on March 1st

75% want to eat like crap because the world is going to shit
25% want to not spend money or feel any more like a blob of shit

I'm going to do it. I'm going to lose the weight this time.
I'm going to feel like I did years ago. I'm going to wear those clothes again.
I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it.

I only went for one walk today
but I compensated by doing 4 sets of my kettlebell workout.
