Total Percentage Lost: 19.6% , 5.4 % til Goal!

I added a new one - "Pounds lost since starting this blog." I think that it's great to know how far I've come in 2 years with Total Lbs. lost, but I feel like starting this blog was a new start for me. It makes it more real to see that I've only lost 2.4 lbs. It makes me want to get down to business and be more serious about this. Especially when my boyfriend is whooping my butt with almost 20 lbs. lost! He has lost steadily every week. I hope I can follow in his footsteps closer.

I am finally over and beyond my vacation gain. I feel like I'm back on track! Well, that is until Sat. and Sun. hit. The weekends are absolutely KILLING me! I don't write anything down on the weekends, and just think I can eat whatever I want. Then Monday comes around and I'm eating broccoli and soup for 5 days to make up for it. Not the healthiest way to live, so I'm going to change it. I'm not sure if I can make up my "weekend eating" this week.

Okay this weekend was a little stressful and emotional. I don't like when food controls me. I KNOW I'm stronger than that. Just because I ran a 5 k on Sat. does not mean I shouldn't keep my calories in check. Rewarding myself would be like having a donut or even two if I want but not donuts for breakfast, pizza and popsicles for lunch, hot dogs, fried chicken, cinnamon rolls and cream puffs for dinner... That's seriously what I ate. Yuck. Yeah, it's embarassing. But it's the truth. Hopefully I'm not the only one who relates :)

Next weekend is July 4th. It's going to be a hard one! I don't know exactly what we're doing but I know that if I prepare myself mentally now, and only allow one unhealthy meal this weekend that I will do a lot better. I really need to write down what I eat on the weekends, it helps me regulate portion sizes and not eat too many calories just because something tastes good and it's free. :)

Thanks all for reading my rambling today! I really appreciate your support :)

Good luck to you all this week! Prepare for the holiday now. "If you Fail to Plan, you Plan to Fail." : )
