If Every Day Were like Today…

 

MyFitnessPal.com

Yeah, I love this tracking website, and that there above is one of the many reasons why :)

When I am doing good, and tracking honestly and completely on MFP, I get excited for the moment that I get to push this button:

It is a very magical time in my day.

When I see my fortune, I get all smiley and think about exactly what I will be doing 5 weeks from now, and who it is that will get to see that fitter me. It is joyous.

For example, in 5 weeks I will be going to a wedding shower for a friend that I graduated with from high school. Where there will be many a folk there that I have not seen in many moons. How wonderful it would be to lose 12 pounds between now and then. I can dig it.

Too bad it’s been telling me this since early July… My bad, they aren’t joking about every day being like “today”

Time to FIX that!

The Facts

Well, Since this is a weight loss blog, I suppose I will get on with the stats that I will be tracking on this (endless) journey. I’ve actually been working at this since January, and considering I have only lost 11 pounds since then, I figure a blog may be a good way to get some fresh motivation. Let’s face it, nothing is motivating me right now. Not even my wedding in January, how sad… Anyways, here are the goods:

And here is my weight watchers tracker so you can see what I ate. I plan on taking photos of what I eat through out the day, but it may take me a while to get in that habit, so bear with me until then.

As you can see by the Taco bell and fried chicken my choices weren't the best today, but I stayed in points, so I guess that’s what really counts.

Blog Idol, Bringing it back

 

Well. I’m back.

This is what, like my 3rd, maybe 4th blog?

I will be up front and honest. I may quit this in a week, a month, a few months… Or maybe I will do it right this time… and keep it going, like some of my “Blog Idols”

I have tried a weight loss blog before. I enjoyed it too. But I became lazy and stopped writing.

I’ve also done a wedding blog. That one kind of stopped because wedding planning slowed for a while. While the wedding plans are in full force now, I never seemed to want to go back to that one…

I should face that blogging may not be for me. But I have this draw to it and I keep trying them.

It may be because I have about 50 (maybe more) blogs in my reader and I read them EVERY DAY. They are my “Blog Idols”

It’s like when you watch American Idol, and some people get an itch to start singing… or So You Think You Can Dance, and you may start dancing in your seat… Well, when I read them, I get an itch to blog again.

So here I am. Scratching said itch. I make no promises how long though.

I know it’s not good to have such a defeatist attitude, but I am just trying to be honest with myself. I can assure you though, that is not my attitude towards my weight loss efforts. Even though I have been on this roller coaster for sooooo long, i never have really given up. I get back up, dust off and go at it again. I haven’t had much progress, but I have learned a lot. And now I want to write about it more. In search of new motivations really.

So Hi!

Check back and see what’s in store and how long I will be around this time!
