I'm serious. I'm so mad at myself right now. I have fallen completely off the exercise and eating right wagon.
I'm not really sure how it happened. Things were going great...then I had different events I was attending, like my brother's and husband's birthday celebrations with my family, Bookworm's end-of-year class party, Hubby buying fast food for the kids a couple of times that I snuck some bites of...it all adds up. And as soon as I started eating the forbidden foods...my appetite was out of control...and I had no willpower. Once I had "messed up" for the day I just didn't care about making great choices for the rest of the day. I know...like I said...I suck.
Exercising...well...I REALLY don't know what happened here. I was on fire! Then it's like someone dumped a giant bucket of water on my fire! HELP! I don't want to start going backwards.
I did have a goal to increase my jogging to 15 minutes total time, and my walking to 3.4 mph for the whole time (45 min.) that I did the walking part of my work out. I DID succeed in that increase on Wednesday...but then I haven't exercised since! What is WRONG with me?
Please...I really need a pep talk, because I want today to be the start of jumping back into the healthy choices I was making. I really, really want to look and feel good for summer.
Sorry to be such a downer today...but it's how I feel.
I hope the rest of you have had a better week!
Although I'm grumpy today...I really do love connecting with everyone who participates in Extreme Makeover: Me Edition with Amber...so if you'd like some healthy support, head on over and link up!

Take care and just continue on...
Missteps are part of any process. Stay focused on where you're headed!
Don't dwell on the past and what you didn't do. Focus on what you are going to do NOW.
Good luck this week!
Love ya! *hugs*
You Rock No Matter What!!
You ate it - fine. Move forward, even if it is the same day.
The working out? Every little bit helps. You'll get your momentum back, don't worry. And please don't be so hard on yourself.
It will get better!
Remember...the exercise doesn't come from motivation...the motivation comes FROM the exercise!!!!!
Smile....and hugs to you!
Have a great day

*singing* "I get knocked down, but I get up again, youre never gonna keep me down"
Focus on the goal, not the time currently. ;)
I did the same thing this week:(
You had a bad week, I had a bad week, we learn from our weeks, and we fix what went wrong! Next week will have a better week!
Hugs

Three cheers for next week!?!?
Setbacks are okay, they happen to everyone, just don't focus on it and try not to let it get you down. Just think of it as more of a break, but now the break is over and you can get right back on track!
I know you can do it! Good luck!
We're all here behind you! :)
This week will be better!
XOXO

Is there something you could do to refocus? Maybe look at a picture of yourself before you started losing weight? That always works for me, because then I see what I didn't like about it.
Good luck getting back on track, just make little steps.
Just know that tomorrow is another day and you can start fresh!!
BTW- I am terrible at the "pep talk" thing....sorry!!!

Good luck! PS I love that you love NKOTB so fervently! It makes me smile.
The most important thing about maintaining a healthy lifestyle is to keep going. The beauty is that tomorrow is new day, and you can wake up and do things right!
What has happened is in the past. Don't let that keep you from the good things you've already done and the good things you're going to do!
I hope you forgive yourself --- now. And just look forward to what you can do from here on out.
I know a little about you because I communicated with you on my old blog, and that doesn't seem to be who you are.
Anyway, my point is...you should be as nice to yourself as you would be to me or to a friend you've known for years...or anyone. You deserve the same grace too.
We are only human and eating "bad" and not exercising is not the worst thing in the world. Tomorrow is another day.
OK, I have something that might make you feel a little better. If you beg and plead I'll post a picture of the crap that's hanging over my pants right now. My daily {sometimes twice daily} trips to Sonic for 44oz of diet Dr. Pepper are killing me!
I'm such a huge procrastinator too that it's hard to get started again. But that's what you gotta do. Recommit. Focus and get started.
I really should take my own advice too.
