As you can tell, I am not driven by a scheduled weigh-in (I don't believe that the focus should just be on the numbers on a scale). I decided this morning that it was time to do another one and my weight is now at 207.8lbs. Again, it is going down, so I really can't complain. This past week I was only able to do 2 classes at lunch (Circuit Training on Monday and Boot Camp on Friday). I was in a meeting with a client that was on site and it ran into the Wednesday class. Great thing: I was upset about it (which means I really wanted to go to it ~ a definite positive!).
My eating habits? Still need improvement...but again, I refuse to focus on the negative as there are lots of times where I am being conscious of making better choices. Doing it some of the time instead of never is a good thing. Baby steps...I can even say that my cravings for the Tim Horton's ice cap is disappearing. I am not missing them as much on a daily basis anymore. In the beginning it was a daily "pep talk" to stay away from them and I gave in more than I would like to admit. But hey, I am kicking the habit and am down to one a week (sometimes I have a 2nd, but it is becoming a rare thing). I am starting to not crave junk as much (although tortilla chips and salsa are still rough), so I am getting better with my choices.
I am also trying to go to bed earlier on a daily basis. I was horrible about staying up late almost every night, which leads to more eating and not enough rest. A horrible combination that aids weight gain. I am trying to get to bed between 10-10:30pm (no longer midnight or later) and am still struggling to remember to drink more water during the day at work (I get so focused on tasks that I forget until I start to feel thirsty). I am contemplating programming in some "alerts" on my computer to prompt me to up my water intake. That might help...
