Why So Hard?

I am so frustrated right now. I am almost to the point of giving up, which is ridiculous to say at this point. Why is it so hard for me to lose weight? I see people chowing down on the fattiest foods with not one healthy food in sight, and here I am with my Grilled Chicken and Vegetables and I cant seem to get the scale to budge. I even ran 4 miles today. You'd think I could see a difference. Arg!

I am just so sick of busting my ass at the gym and choosing the healthy option and still being considered overweight, borderline obese. What gives!!!!!!

Tomorrow is a new day, hopefully bringing a better attitude.

Self Control

I have been kidding myself.

I've been telling myself that I have self control over my eating,

and I am starting to think I am a liar.

Like most married women, I received chocolate for Valentines Day this year.

I have this mentality that if I eat it all in the first few days,

that I won't have to eat it everyday until it is gone.

Crazy.

I was down 3 pounds last week, and I am hoping when I jump on the scale on Friday, that I have at least maintained that weight loss. This would keep me on track for 1.5 pounds per week.

Yoga yesterday and Running today hopefully took care of those extra empty calories. Arg!

Five Pounds a Month

A co-worker and I decided to get a personal trainer. I have successfully maintained my weight since August, but I still would like to lose another forty pounds.
That would bring me down to a solid 145.
We discussed our plan on Friday and I feel really good about it. I want to lose five pounds per month, or roughly one and a half pounds per week. That would get me to my goal by October! My goal is to eat 1,500 calories a day and workout four days a week. Totally doable!
