Month 3 Check In - Revised

I'm back from Florida. Actually, I've been back for a week but as so often happens when I travel when I returned from my trip I was sick. I also suffered my monthly mayhem (PMDD) just after I got back. So...Hopefully I won't have to take anymore down time for the rest of the month.

What, you might ask, does any of this rambling have to do with the check in? Well...I didn't have an official weight when I checked in from Florida. So...The official weight from the scale in the Supreme Fitness Gym Ladies Changing Room is....198. A weight gain of 3 pounds.

Obviously there must be something wrong with what I'm doing.

Food:

Again I hardly had any time set aside to cook last month and...Surprise I didn't cook anything! I really have to work on my time management if I'm going to get this taken care of. The day just seems to melt away and I'm left with it being 10:00 with no dinner in sight and not even ingredients in the apartment often. This is just silly. I am not going to lose weight when I'm eating most of my meals from Pinkus McBride.

Exercise:

I got into the gym so seldom last month it really isn't a surprise I gained weight. I think I averaged 2 times a week but that takes into account the week I went every day-You do the math.

Self-Denial:

I still haven’t had any alcohol or Ramen. I miss them both.

Reflection:

I hosed it last month! I am not going to impress anyone with my amazing weight loss if it never occurs!

I have a couple of new incentives to lose the weight, too.My favorite Waitress has offered to take me out for drinks on the house if I meet my 20 pound weight loss goal. I really shouldn't keep her waiting. And...One of my dearest girlfriends from High School is getting Married on July 5th. I want to be smaller than I was in Hight School when I go to the wedding. I was a 14 and about 150 when I graduated. I want to be in size 12 or smaller when I arrive in the 'Burgh.

Plan:

Starting tomorrow I hit the gym every day. I get up in the morning, even on weekends, before 9:00 am. When I go to Eric's I work for no less than 4 hours. I will go the the grocery store and buy ingredients next Monday Night and I will use them to cook a meal at that time and another meal which I will cook next week Thursday. I will repeat this scenario every week until the end of the month.

Food Log:

Brunch: Red Bull and Italian Sandwich on multi-grain bread (Pinkus McBride)

Snack: Hand full of very sour Strawberries

Dinner: Doctored can of Condensed Chicken Soup with crackers and more sour strawberries.

Exercise: None to speak of
