Where I have failed is in my list of goals. This was something important that I really wanted to accomplish but I haven't done it. I wrote 2 weeks of goals and failed miserably at both. One of my goals, something that I really want to do, is to write my list of things I love and things I'm grateful for. Want to know something I love? I love how fast I can type. Seriously. Thank you, Mr. Shackleton (RIP). I also went out to eat today. Well, I went out twice this week. The first time was to Golden Corral. I did pretty well there, however, I wasn't feeling well. I ate salad, fruit, broccoli, chicken terryaki, bourbon chicken, and more fruit. Not bad, right? Not until I went to lunch today and had an entree and an appetizer. I brought half of my appetizer home, but I still pigged out. I'm still feeling full right now, actually. I had soup, Southwestern egg rolls, French fries, and half of a California club sandwich (at Chili's). I even felt gross ordering it.
I feel broken tonight.
Jess, don't beat yourself up . . . if you give in to temptation, that's ok, just get back at your dieting as soon as you can. You are allowed a 'cheat' day and it sounds like today was yours. As for Golden Corral, it sounds like you made healthy choices and you went in with a mind set of sticking to eating healthy . . . and you did. That was a goal I bet you didn't keep track of and mark off. As for your Mom and sister working out with you . . . now that y'all have joined a gym they will feel an obligation (so to speak) to go because this is something they 'pay' for. Exercising at home is tough and I give you so much credit for sticking to it. Every day I have the mind set to work out either with my elip, TM or with the Wii and I fail miserably. I find it harder to get motivated at home. When I belonged to the gym here I went 4 days a week and never missed a beat especially two of those days because I not only paid my membership but also paid a trainer. Working out at home you don't have anyone to be accountable to. If you don't feel like working out, you don't; but belonging to a gym, you've paid for that and don't want to throw money away. I hope they will go with you. If not, find someone who you can meet up with at the gym. It's easier to have a work out buddy who you don't want to stand up . . . you're accountable to each other. My best friend (in NY) and I used to meet every evening and walk. If I didn't feel like it I went anyway because I didn't want to stand her up and once I got out and walked I was glad I did. I too am an accomplished typist thanks to Mr. Shackelton and am thankful for his teaching abilities. Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged.
