Ooops I did it again..

And now I'll have Britney in my head all day.. but I saw that dreaded number again on my scale.  The only "good thing" is that I know I haven't been doing everything right, so I'm not surprised. It gets you to that point though, where you're like, "Yeah - I just need to stop eating" -- but I know that's not the way either.  So I'm truly going to commit this week.  I've been half-assing my commitments lately and that doesn't cut it.  I'm good at tracking for like a day, and then I quit and eat whatever without measuring, logging, or being conscious about it.  I will log and do my best to stay within the calorie count that LoseIt! gives me..It's not like it doesn't give me a shitton of calories.  There's no reason I shouldn't be able to stay within 1900 cals/day. So because I've been slacking, it's pushed my goal out to Jan 14, 2017.... BUT I'm going to try to make up some time, and still reach 199 by 12/31/2016.  I'm not that far off that I can't do it.... so let's do it! 

One thing that I did do this weekend was I did get to the gym. Once. But I did it!  We went yesterday and I'm sore today - but glad about that!  So this week my goal is to go at least Tuesday and Thursday.  I'm sure we'll go over the weekend too, so that's cool.  I'm feeling committed so I'm going to try to really hold on to that feeling.  I think I might even do Zumba tonight.  I'm drinking water and tea this morning... got my Matcha Maker green tea in my Contigo mug that keeps it hotter than hot... and I'm almost done with my first 32 oz of water.  I had a dannon light & fit yogurt for breakfast.  So 90 calories into my day. 

Reading one of Heidi Powell's posts on FB over the weekend, I saw a quote that I love and always need to remember...

 
Too often I'm the "I can't" girl.  I lack that confidence.  I lack the love for myself.  And when you do that, you convince yourself that you really can't - before even giving yourself a chance.  I wish we lived by my BFF(TFF) -- like next door neighbors because I know she'd be slapping food out of my hand....telling me to save my cals for wine... and we'd go kick some ass at the gym together.  It'd be freaking awesome. For some reason 300 miles makes it's difficult.  But I'm sure we can do it.  She may be far more awesome than me, but I will prove to myself that I can do it too!  :)
