Alright! This is it. This is the final week and boy did I mess up! Last week the temps. dropped and I was just oh so over confident about the 2.5 lbs I lost the previous week. I decided I could take a little break from exercise on Tuesday and just bask in the glory of another 2.5 down! WHOO!

And then of course it was something in the realm of 'frozen booger' cold so that helped.

The next day, well, it was still cold but also began snowing. Pffft. I'm cool. I'll just hold out another day. 

The 3RD day I feeling pretty lame and still riding on the residual joy of weight loss and still a bit proud as a peacock thinking this weight loss thing was easier than I thought. It's all good!

Of course the following day was now Friday and I realized I had to weigh in again in 5 days and OH CRAP! I've been blowing off all exercise and calorie tracking and not been tooooo great about water intake. I BETTER EXERCISE! So I did 20 minutes of Jillian Michaels and puffed out my chest because yeaaaa...I worked out. I'm awesome.

Saturday I paniced again and went for a 30 minute walk. 

Sunday I walked again (which is usually my day off). 

Monday I did my Jillian workout. 

Tuesday I had put on .4 lbs. 

I know because I weighed myself THREE TIMES.

*bangs head on desk*

This is doubly frustrating because a) I put on weight. Not exactly something you want to do when there's money on the line, and b) It was WAY to easy to put that weight back on! 3 days of no exercise and not eating TOO smart (I did actually try to stick with healthy stuff but I snitched a little candy here, a bit of that there...) and BAM. Almost 1/2 a pound back up! WHAT THE HECK BODY!? 

So the time as come. *turns up music louder and steps up to the soapbox*

No longer will I slack on exercise! No longer will I believe that a little nibble here and bite there aren't going to hurt me. Nay, I shall not believe that water isn't so terribly important, nor tracking my food intake something of little consequence! From this day forth, as God and all of you as my witness (and myself, my phone tracker, my hubby, my family.....) I swear I shall do the following:

I shall track every crumb that goes into my mouth HONESTLY!

I shall drink 10-11 cups of water a day! (9 is the new average for women plus 1.2-2.5 if you exercise)

I shall be in bed WITH THE LIGHTS OUT at 11 pm!

I shall not snack after 7 pm! (Popcorn during movies...I miss you already. Heartburn? Not so much.)

I shall walk 30 minutes a day AND to my 20 minute exercise program!

I shall do a second walk in the evening if my steps have not reached 10k!

THIS I SWEAR I SHALL DO! AND I WILL MAKE THIS FINAL WEEK MY 

GREATEST WEEK EVER!!

 

...and for the record, I did all these things today. Woot! 1 day down, 6 to go. 

 

LETS DO THIS!
