The human yo-yo

Well, my sickness last week definitely set me back a bit, but not too bad. I have been following program, despite going out to eat with the band staff and such. I have this tendency to feel guilty when going out to eat, even though I know that this is real life and I do have to eat when I go out. I'm adjusting to the idea of eating out and staying on program at the same time, even though it's incredibly difficult. The mindset in my past has always been that when I go out to eat, I'm already blowing my diet, so I might as well eat whatever. I almost fell back into that trap, come to find out I was actually thinking diet without realizing it. I went out to Chipotle with Erica last weekend, and I got the Chicken Burrito Bowl. This made me nervous, I thought I was totally off track, and my thinking was that this is the first time I had seen her in 2 months, and if I went off track just this once it would be ok. Then I lost weight. I went in to the center and discussed it with my consultant, and she said I actually made the RIGHT choices without realizing it, which tells me that I have adjusted to the diet and have made it a habit! :)

Workouts have been rough lately as well with being sick. I worked out for the first time in 2 weeks on Friday, and I am definitely feeling it. But it felt great, and I know this week I am going to make a schedule to go in and work out during the week. :) It will happen.

I will complete this entry with some stats:

STARTING WEIGHT: 279.0

GOAL WEIGHT: 130.0

CURRENT WEIGHT: 266.0

TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS TO DATE: 13.0

No, I haven't forgotten...

I swear to you I haven't forgotten to write in my blog. I swear. I'm just like this chicken running around with my head cut off!

Everything's still going really super well! I'm down 14 pounds, which is AMAZING since I've only been on MWL for a month! Measurements are going to be soon, they measure once a month. I can definitely tell in my clothes that the inches are going just as quick. I was actually confident enough on Friday to wear a tank top under a shorter sweater with my jeans. It was great!

I'm still working towards my goal of marching Onyx World... I have started working on rifle more lately at home. In between shifts at work I have been working back up on my consecutives (probably makes no sense to some people reading this...) and I'm definitely getting back into it! I can't wait to see what auditions are like! :)

Well I'm super sick (cold.. yuck) so I'm not going to write too much more or it may start not making sense...
