Chronicles of a Carb-o-holic

so today officially kind of starts the new weight-loss week. last week, i didn’t work out as much as i could have, athough i’ve been walking more. i tried counting calories, and i got to about midday or so before i gave up on it and started overreating so.. i gained .5lb. which sucks.. but at least it’s not my normal 2 or something. lol. and, i did get discouraged last week, but that really didn’t happen until around thursday, versus usually i throw in the towel about monday or tuesday… so i think that’s a good improvement, for me anyway

this week had the potential for starting off bad… i laid in bed past noon, not really wanting to get up, feeling really bad about myself.. thinking, nothing is going on today, i’ll prolly just get up and bum around, eat a lot of junk, etc. eventually i made myself get up and it looked sunny out, so i went outside and it was sooooooooooooo nice. like, absolutely beautiful. so i went for a walk with the wiener dog 2 miles (i think, we live in the country lol so everything is kind of in one-mile blocks) and i jogged a bit of it.. prolly about 3/4 of a mile. very slow jogging, mind you, lol. but it felt good

and, i got back, and was in a good mood, so i lifted weights. woo. go me.

ANNNND our family decided to grill, since it’s so nice.. but instead of gorging myself on cheeseburgers, i had them throw a chicken on the grill for me. yummm. and full of protein. yay.

so, it’s safe to say i’m in a good mood, and i really would like this to last all week. i might try mentally splitting my week up in half, with a mini-weigh in on wednesday, because right now it’s hard to keep up the motivation the entire week (although i’m getting better), so if i think “i only have to make it to wednesday” and then to saturday, maybe it will be a good lifter for me, to check in on myself and see how i’m doing.

i really want to do stuff today, i wish i had a workout buddy or somebody i could hang out with or do stuff with that’s the only thing about dieting and trying to get healthy, it’s easier with somebody with you. although this site has helped a lot.

so.. that’s been my sunday. i hope everybody is having a great weekend!!! xoxo.
