Drowning in water

Hit my water goal today. It's hard to drink water, especially when it makes you pee all day...it can be annoying. I usually go with big bottles but today I tried the smaller bottles and was successful. It was hit again today but took the babe for a 30 min walk anyway.

Good choices...pita for lunch...not a lot of snacking between meals.

Bad choices...m&m's...not getting up early for a workout. One day at a time, one choice at a time.

Been off the path of motivation

Strange to think about when I started this blog and rereading why I did. Let me catch you up on the past year. Although I did not make my goal of running the pints to pasta race, I did reach a partial best of running 8 miles. I hit that in October and did a 8K (6.1 miles). However, after that all went down hill.

I had to give up my puppy who I loved very much due to a nasty neighbor. But I still have my other babe, Francesca and we still walk regularly. I now weigh 232, so I gained more weight. I've been lacking motivation all year and struggle everyday to make good choices.

Well look...we're not perfect. We all slip up and fall of the wagon. But it's up to each of us to climb back on. Whether that means going slow or jumping right in, just make a decision. Yesterday I decided to go sober. Drinking is something I love, getting crazy and having fun, but it's also my worst enemy. Keeping me from workouts, making it my excuse to overeat etc. It's my chance to get my self restraint back. Until I do, I plan on not drinking. I feel so uncomfortable with myself, so disgusted with myself it's seriously time to crack down.

Good decisions today: waking the dog-it was HOT but we walked a good mile. Not going to see my brother at the pizza place he works at-no doubt a good excuse to indulge in cheesy bread and ranch!

Bad decisions: Jimmy John's-their subs are so tasty but Sooooooo bad for you. On top of that I had chips. Eating two servings of pasta instead of one-my trade of for not eating that cheesy bread. Lastly not getting up in time to work out-I hit the snooze button and kept hitting it.

Goals for this week: lose 2 lbs eating better, and working out 3 days...and workout that doesn't include walking the babe. One day at a time.
