Back on Track

Hey guys! Did you miss me? It’s been three weeks or so since I last posted. Let me catch you up.

The move went…uhhh….it’s complete. Let’s just say lots of stressful things happened. It’s done, and we’re happy. We still have some final touches to make, hanging pictures and such, but all in all it looks good and feels like home already. Luckily, our maintenance team for the apartments is amazing! They are so quick to respond and nice. So far I’m very happy with the management of these apartments.

My diet on the other hand, has been up and down. I had originally planned to go back on diet the Tuesday after my move. I tried for three days. Each day I caved because I was SOOOO hungry by the end of the day. I took a short break and tried again the following Monday. I completed one day, but come Tuesday had an emotional breakdown for some unknown reason (PMS maybe?) and ended up binge eating my tears away. That Wednesday happened to be my coworker’s retirement party. I had originally planned to eat just a salad, didn’t work. Thursday and Friday I was good. Saturday I went to a party at my Aunt’s house. I had planned not to eat anything. Her cooking is so good though and sitting in that house with all those smells! I couldn’t help it. I was also bad the next day due to an immense celebratory feeling of being able to see my boyfriend. Even though we live together, I had barely seen him all week.

Now were on to this week and I’m finally back on track. I’ve been good for three straight days now. I started at 200 on Monday and I’m now down to 192.4 as of this morning. (194.4 with clothes on! Goodbye Pedometer!). Three seems to be the magic number. Once you get past the first 3 days and get into ketosis it is much easier.

Here’s the plan: In total I plan to be using Cambridge for the next three weeks and then see where I’m at. There is one event that I’m considering cheating for and that is the Halloween party at my work. It is epic, you barely remember you’re at work that day since the first half of the day is spent eating good food, looking at all the displays, doing scavenger hunts, playing games, looking at all the awesome costumes, and eating more good food. The company even gives us free donuts for breakfast and pizza for lunch! What more could you ask for besides the day off? Anyway, I’m planning to avoid the donuts and pizza, but there is so much other food that is more unique that I might have to try. We shall see.

My goal right now is to look awesome in a sexy Halloween costume! My boyfriend’s band is playing a concert Halloween night, so of course a costume is required. It doesn’t even have to be that sexy. I don’t think I’ll get to the exposed midriff level, but just the ability to wear a skirt with confidence would be nice.

On a side note, even though I’ve been yo yo dieting these last couple weeks I still managed a non scale victory. I now comfortably fit in a size 12 jean! Also I only have one more pound to lose before I weigh less than my boyfriend. I will finally get to be the smaller one in the relationship!

That’s it for now. I’ll try and keep you posted. Perhaps I’ll weigh in every Monday now.

Happy losing!!
