Good day folks! Two posts this week! I know! Fantastic! So listen up - This has been my first week back on track where I have been able to stay committed all week long. My dilemma is coming - the dreaded weekend... So in the past I have always been able to make excuses for myself that I have worked hard and its just a couple days over the weekend and it is good to shock my body and blah, blah, blah. The fact is that is bull poop! You have to eat good over the weekend and move some in order to continue weight loss - you can't pig out and expect your body to react properly. So I weighed this morning! Typically I fuss at people who weigh more than once a week because it either gives you false hope or it frustrates you. Neither are good when you are trying to stay diligent and continue to lose. BUT I wanted to know my weight today - which by the way is 321, that means I am down 5 from Monday! - because I am going to weigh again on Monday and compare! If I still weight 321 Monday I will be content that I didn't gain any and I was able to maintain. If I lose some by Monday then I will jump for joy! But if I gain some - then I need to be shot! Because if I can't keep it together for 7 days then there is little hope for me to hit my goals by beach time... Tonight we are going to the Truck race and qualifying at the track in concord. We are going with my father-in-law and have box seats. In the box there is all the beer, soft drinks, and tasty (but NOT good for you) food! So I am preparing myself for tonight. For instance I ate a smaller than usual breakfast, I am going to eat a minimal lunch, and I am not going to snack at all until we get to the track. Then I will eave a surplus of calories that I may eat - this does not mean that I am going to black out and go completely crazy. I am going to eat normal food in smaller amounts, stick to water or diet drinks, no beer at all, and I am going to be reasonable with my food choices. You never know what they will have, but I am sure there will be nachos with all the melted cheese in the world. I am going to have a couple chips - like 10 - instead of entire plate full! I am going to have one plate of food tonight - instead of 3 or 4! And when the desert rolls around I will eat a single cookie - or nothing at all! I am tired of being a fat bastard. I have felt so great this week working out and eating well and I don't want to ruin that because I think cheese is super tasty! All that will happen is that Monday I will feel guilty and hate myself and then it will be that much harder to get started again. And maybe I am destined to lose 8 pounds next week, but because I sabotaged my weekend I would only lose 2. That is not acceptable! I want to be dead sexy and look my best. So when I get home BEFORE we go out tonight I am going to do Kenpo P90x - it is a super good cardio workout if you put your mind to it! You only get out of it what you put in, so if you don't try to push yourself and really bring some intensity then it isn't a good workout - it is just a waste of time. I rather enjoy it and the hour flys by! So I am going to bring the pain! Then tomorrow we have a couch to 5K day and I am going to do another P90x program - not sure which, maybe plyometrics. Sunday there will be some yard work going on and sometime we have got to get some healthy food in the house because I don't have much to pack for lunch next week! Wish me luck everyone! Say a prayer that I am able to fight off my old ways and eat good this weekend! Say another prayer that I am like 320 or 319 by Monday! Good luck all my companions on this suck ass quest of weight loss!
