WI day

It was time to face the music today. I knew it was going to be positive music as I have been on track. Happy to report that I am back on the downward trend. Now the issue will be STAYING THERE.

 213.8 this morning.    

I have taken my weight lower (by a few pounds) many times this year. For whatever reason I make some dumb choices and then *BOOM* it is all back. I get off the low sugar/low carb wagon and then the sugar monster attacks.  I let the bitch win and the cycle starts all over again. 

Two weeks in this cycle and I want this to be one that matters. I did it last year and lost 40 pounds but then regained 9 from excuses due to my brothers medical issues and hospitalization. 

Dropping forty pounds in a year with minimum exercise (more movement in daily activity but no set routine) is damn good. I can do better- there is NO REASON I shouldn't be able to lose at least 30 pounds this year. I was hard core the first part of last year then started slacking. I have been hard core the last three weeks. 

I am a forgetful gal.

 I like knowing I am sliding size 16 jeans on my ass. (down from size 22) I like knowing that the scale isn't showing me numbers in the 220's anymore last it has the beginning of this year. (started at 248.4 Jan 2013) I like the look of my jawline in the mirror now (double chin almost gone) 

I forget those positive feelings way to easily. I have tried to come up with ways to remind myself of that shiny happy feeling when I am not feeling it but I never remember. Hell, I have even considered some type of inner wrist tattoo but cannot decide on a good symbol that I want to have forever.
