Weigh in Monday

Okay, okay, family and friends that fell for my attempt at humor earlier. Don't hate me, I couldn't help myself.

I weighed in at 150 this morning. To be honest, I am shocked. Don't get me wrong, I stayed within my 1200-1300 caloric allowance most days, but what I did eat on those days was junk (i.e. pizza, Chinese food, and ice cream).

I don't consider anything I did to be a fail, but more like trying to break a bad habit. I am on a journey to make myself a healthier person. I want a lifestyle change, and not a diet. The diet is the blue print for my lifestyle change.

I don't consider myself to be a good eater. This week proved just that. I made better decisions than I would have just a couple of weeks ago. I had smaller portions. At the Chinese buffet, I ate mostly veggies and lean meats. I went to the Hibachi Grill and ate sushi. I was conscience of the choices I was making.

I have a love/hate relationship with ice cream. I have this huge issue with saying no to it. I did it once this week when my coworkers went to Culver's. Sad Megan that day. At the buffet I had a small portion of soft serve. I look at this way... I can have all things in moderation. If I abstain completely I am setting myself up for failure. I have an incredible sweet tooth. If I lost all sweets I would fail in two seconds. I had my ice cream, and I felt better. I didn't have anything sweet after dinner. It is about balancing the good with the bad.

I was lazy this week. Working out took a backseat. I only got in three workouts. I have the Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred. It is my goal to do that 30 days in a row. Starting tomorrow at 5 am!!

So here I go, another week of making better choices.
