It was a pretty busy weekend for Hubbo and me, so apologies for the lack of blogging. Anyway, there is not a whole lot to report. Right now I am at 210 lbs, so I am still hanging out right around the same weight that I’ve been at all week. At least I haven’t gained anything.
I’m feeling ok about the weight loss (or lack thereof) this week, but I am finding it harder every ay not to cheat. It used to be really easy not to break the diet, but for some reason I’m feeling so tempted recently. I keep telling myself that if I just make it one more week I will have plenty of cheat foods while I’m on vacation (have been trying not to cheat before the trip because I know I will make lots of bad decisions there), but it’s difficult. I’ll get this feeling that I just really, really want something (a cookie, Chinese food) and it won’t go away. Yesterday morning, I ate an order of hash browns.
So yes, I have been caving in more recently. Luckily it hasn’t been too terrible and hasn’t really affected my weight that much, but it’s just hard to stay on track right now. It’s been over four weeks and so I think the diet is losing its luster.
Hopefully when I come back from vacation I will have satisfied all my cheat-desires and can begin again with renewed passion. (If I don’t have renewed passion, I’ll be in trouble, as I intend to do a bit of Phase I again when I get back!) Also, once I’m back on Phase II, the C25K training will start, and I am going to be building in a cheat meal (not a cheat day) once every week or two so I don’t get to this place of feeling completely overwhelmed by my desire for non-diet foods.
Still 16.5 lbs lost this morning, so I’m still happy. Hopefully I will shed another half-pound tonight to be back at 209.5 for the weigh-in, but if I don’t, I’m not super-concerned.
