Day 6
I had a bit of a meltdown today. Really bad day at work where I started out playing catch-up from a bad day yesterday and then One thing right after another making it seem like a battle all day. The only saving grace was my walk to lunch with my sweet husband. Then the afternoon continued as a battle. When I got home- I just laid down on our bed and started crying...and cried...and cried until I fell asleep. That meant I slept a couple hours and then ended up cooking and eating well past my Closed Kitchen time of 6:30 PM.
On the upside- tomorrow has to be better.
Now let's get to the business of finding out how much damage I did today with all the emo-eating. I have GOT to learn to overcome that habit.

Day 5
So, now I want to list a few GOALS for myself.
NON-scale goals.
I want to be able to wear my lovely Midi-coat.
I desperately need a winter coat now- but I just cant bring myself to fork over a couple hundred quid for a winter coat that |I hate when have a lovely stylish warm one here that all I have to do is lose a few pounds to fit into. If I do this right, I'll be able to fit into it before the cold weather is over this year! It's just really snug now.
I want to be able to wear my jeans again and KNOW my butt looks good in them.
What more is there to say about that? Nothing.
I want to be able to wear a swimsuit and sun by the pool on holiday.
And NOT look like a beached albino whale. The last swinsuit I wore was a Venus Swinwear Thong Backed Hot pink and white print Bikini and it looked BANGING on me. And I was over 45 when I wore it. BOOOYA!
I want to be able to go on hikes again.
HIKES- not strolls and not sounding like I'm a fish out of water or an asthmatic seal.
I want go out with my Bezzie and wear a bodycon dress for the holidays this year.
And I want to wear proper high heels with it. I also want to start dressing like I work in an ofice in proper office attire instead of the clothes I wear now with flats. I want to be a GIRL again.
The 3W's- Workout- Watching the Calorie Intake-Water
Workout-
* Went up and down the 3 flights of stairs 4 times today. I'm hoping to get in a bit more of a workout with Jillian Michaels tonight before going to bed. I'm also contemplating weighing myself every Wednesday & Saturday Morning. Keep me more on track that way. I don't want to weigh every day- That's frustrating, but once a week may not be enough. If I'm veering off course, weighing twice a week I can adjust accordingly- maybe avoid the "failure to lose" frustration.

Day 4
Today I slept in again. I still have a nagging headache and since I go back to work tomorrow I don't want it to morph into a migraine....and since Sunday is my workout free day- I slept until about 11 this morning.
I'm slowly learning my eating pattern since I started this during the holiday break from work when I could concentrate on just getting the eating and workout plan in gear.
I have figured out that I don't eat when I'm hungry- I eat when it's "mealtime". I'm not sure how good that is. On the one hand I know I should eat regularly so my metabolism doesnt slow down even more- but on the other hand why should I eat and consume calories when I'm not even slightly hungry? Isn't that counter-productive? I need to discuss this with my weight loss buddy- but we are having a REALLY hard time finding a time we can both have a chat on the phone. We text- but I am so distracted by this and that when we text I can't keep my mind on the important things I need to talk about sometimes.
