Last week

I blew it. Becky, help me! I went to a chinese buffet on Thursday and then had a Math conference on Friday and Saturday where they feed us good food, not so healthy though. I don't know how much exactly I gained since I couldn't go to my meeting on Sat. but I know it was at least 3 lbs. : (
This week is Fall Break for me, so no classes! I hope to get really on top of things so that my life isn't so crazy and stressful.
Yesterday we went to dinner for my brother's birthday, so beforehand Brandon and I made a plan. Since we knew there would be cake and ice cream we decided to only have 1/2 a piece and a glass of milk instead of ice cream. And we did! Then we didn't eat any apple pie that Becky made when we got home, because we'd already had a treat.
Any tips to staying on track? I just can't seem to find that steady gain I used to have. I have just been gaining back what I lose.

  1. I've been having the same trouble. Going out to eat is the WORST! I went out Saturday and my in-laws bought...we got TONS of appetizers. But I ordered steak and grilled veggies instead. I lost 1 lb last week but I should have lost more...but my SIL made cheese cake yesterday...YUM! Take joy in the small things (like I only had one piece of cheesecake even though I wanted 3)...it's frustrating when you don't see the weight fall off but just think, that ice cream could have contributed to an even larger gain but you were strong. We can do it! If you give up you won't loose anything and if you don't give up you will eventually loose what you want (I'm saying this for you just as much as I am saying it for me.)

  2. http://www.mysaltlakerunningco.com/saltlake/dept.asp?dept_id=10078 There's a free 10K on the 24th. I should run it- but haven't decided yet if I'm going to. Just thought that I'd share the info with you. I know how you feel about only losing what you gain. I'm at a stand still too. It's really hard! And going to get even harder as the holiday's get here. Good Luck!! I'm routing for you!!

  3. I won't make any more pie. It wasn't that good anyways.
