So first the update - I'm down a total of 13 pounds. Not bad considering I really don't feel like I've given up anything. I still have an occasional glass of wine, and I enjoy pasta every now and then.
I did give up snacking at the office. I have an amazing group of people I work with, but it seems that there is always chocolate or chips lying around to snack on. I had gone completely off all "snackable sweets", but in my blasé mood the last few weeks have snuck a few in on occasion. Bad idea - now my body remembers how good the sugar makes it feel short term and I back to craving it.
The good news is I caught it before it could get the better of me. I still lost over the last 2 weeks, just not the amount that I'm used to losing. Time to give myself the kick in the ass that I know I need and get back to it.
My WW buddy and I have decided on a goal by the time she turns 40, and another by the time I turn 40. That's my target...and having my rewards along the way will do what I need to help me stay motivated!
Onward I go...

Back on track
K so last post I was pretty pissed at myself. Was pretty proud though that I didn't do what I normally did and just throw in the towel. I stepped off the scale with a resolve that I would just start again. And I did. And I lost almost 3 pounds - woo hoo.
But here's the thing...my motivation has tanked. Not sure if it is because it's been so gray outside lately, or because I'm not sleeping very well...whatever the reason it has been very difficult the past week to keep myself in the mindset I need to be in on this journey.
Luckily I have my WW buddy who is helping me to stay positive and keep my head in the game. And I have my reward list to work towards. I'm hoping that this is enough to keep me where I need to be.
Whatever the reason, I need to come out of the blasé mode I was in this week and get back into my rah-rah space that I was in before my holidays. Well maybe not today, but I will endeavour to do it before the weekend is over...wish me luck!
