Goal Reflection from Day 2/Day 3 Goals:
Day 2:
1. Get in all GHGs
2. Go to WW Meeting
3. Run 3.5 - 5.0
#2 Was the only goal I hit today. I was up 2.2, back to 180, which I can handle, as I am still down 50 lbs.
I did run 1.35, outside, which was a BIG deal. :-)
Day 2 Goals:
1. Get in all GHGs
2. Track every bite
3. Plan/Pack for Monday

78. Update weight loss blog every day for a month
Day #1:
After two hellacious weeks of eating which will probably yield a gain of about 6 lbs @ WI tomorrow, I decided now would be a great time to tackle # 78 on my list - Update my WLJ blog every day for a month. Call this day one, March 4, 2011. I will continue to update it daily until April 4, 2011.
I think this will be a great way for me to get refocused after two weeks of not really being focused at all. I AM going to get to goal this year, and I AM going to hit about 165 before the end of the school year. (June 22 for my students). I'm hypothesizing that with my gain, that's about 5 lbs a month (March, April, May, June)
I think what I'm going to TRY to do over the next month is:
-take 5 min each morning to reflect on my daily goals (WLJ/Healthwise)
-take 5 min each evening to reflect on my daily goals: Did I meet them?
Each day, I will write about the previous days' meals, feelings, and whether or not my simple goals were met.
I will start by putting on the table my goals for tomorrow:
-get in ALL GHGs
-go to a WW meeting (WI, most likely)
-run (3.5 - 5.0 miles, depending on how I feel when I get on the treadmill)
I will reflect back tomorrow evening sometime, probably before I head to P's for the night. He's been on vacation with his family since Monday, and I am SO happy to see him! However, (I know this is my issue) I feel like he is going to notice the weight gain on me. I know that I am being silly here, and that he probably won't...and if he did, he wouldn't say anything, but still....I have been so focused on my weight issues my whole life that I can't NOT think about it...

What are your March goals? How did your February goals fare?
Well, Stephanie.....(Steph's Happy Medium) I'm glad you asked, bc I think it's time to think about what goals I have to put in place for March :-D
I'm going to answer backward, bc I think I first need to reflect, and then focus on moving UP and ON!
February Goals:
FAIL - 1) approximately 50 miles logged running
FAIL - 2) 4 "cross training" workouts (one none-running workout per week)
FAIL - 3) Lose 3 lbs (and forgive myself when I don't)
WIN - 4) Give up Diet Soda!
FAIL - 5) Take ONE class...of some kind, fitness or otherwise - I just want to learn new things!
1. My mileage was about 29 miles. It was a short month, I dunno why I chose such a lofty goal!
2. I didn't do ANY cross training in the truest sense of the word - I did have a LOT of rehearsals for my school's musical though - which is KINDA like cross-training.
3. I lost 1.59 (I am NOT counting this week, it's part of March!)...but now I am annoyed at myself, looking at my goals and seeing that I wrote "Forgive myself WHEN I don't."
4. I went 29 days without Diet Coke. I've had 2 cans in the last two days, I miss it too much, so I decided I am going to only allow myself a soda about 1x a week from here on in, when I am most craving it/when I eat out with P.
5. I kept scheduling classes and then cancelling them. Motivation was rough in Feb, I guess.
SO, I am moving on, and setting 5 goals for March, bc I think that 5 is highly attainable. (Wording will be carefully considered this time!)
1. Log 72 training miles for LI Half Marathon. (This is the "light" version of the schedule, with 3 runs a week. I may choose 4 some week, which means I should kick this mileage's ASS!)
2. Try 4 new recipes.
3. Lose 4 lbs, forgive myself IF I don't!
4. Take a class, fitness or otherwise.
5. Commit to and complete a new cycle of OP 2 Overcome. (Will start Saturday 3/5 after WI)
I think this is pretty good. It's attainable, and if I commit to myself, it will be done. I think for my next Cycle of OP 2 Overcome, I'm going to just go back to my simple goal of getting all GHGs, each day. We shall see!

+3.1
...says the scale @ 7AM this morning. SO, apparently, I am working out some of the sodium.
I have from now till Sat to get my gain managed/lower.
3.5 miles tonight, Zumba tmrw (I hope, if I feel motivated!), 3.5 miles Friday, and 5.0 Saturday (after WI).
Next week is NOT going to be a disaster like this. I need to focus on more home-cooked stuff.
On the upside (ish) I have a TON of work to do for my students' report cards at home today, tmrw, and Friday, so that should keep my hands busy, and out of the kitchen. I am going to OWN my water GHG

Holy sh*t!
I peeked tonight, the scale is saying up 5.7 lbs.
Holy shit. Why can't I stop being a hunger monster? I feel disgusting about myself. I know this eating is mostly emotional, as DBF is away, but I feel like SHIT. I know I overate this week, but I don't think I overate by like 21,000 calories...
I need to stop this. I don't even know why I am doing this. I'm just so out of control. I couldn't even get to the gym tonight bc I felt like such shit, and of course, there are other emotional issues at play here.
I KNOW I am due for a gain on Saturday, but I am really anxious to get back to my meeting. I think that I need to just go to the meeting, perhaps I will NOT WI, and then I think I can refocus.
I wish I could stop feeling disgusted. I can't imagine, I must have eaten about 150 P+ over the last three days.
HELP, please help.
