I have failed. I had family visit for the past 10 days and I have not been doing the best at staying on track. Now, I haven't been eating terribly but with christmas, new years and my mother's amazing urges to order food for my fiance and I it has been very difficult to keep on track. Chinese food and pizza can wreck havoc on that. Also, my fiance made whole wheat chocolate chip cookies that are tough to resist. However, considering they made 36 cookies (teaspoon size) 6 days ago and there are still about a dozen left with both of us eating them that is preety damn good for me. I have always been a sucker for anything with sugar in it. I also forced myself to stick to 2 pieces of pizza at a time, and only let myself eat pizza once a day (with the exception of 1 day). So...out of the 24 pieces we ordered there are about 8 being thrown out tomorrow morning b/c I'm forcing myself not to eat it just to eat it. That's always been tough for me as I was taught when I was a kid to clean my plate.
So anyway, this has been a very challenging week but I am determined to make it through. I purchased a pedometer that can be carried in a pocket or purse and have been using it. 10,000 steps per day is really not as many as I thought. Its very possible with some effort.
I have been debating joining a gym but my problem is I don't drive and I am not a morning person at all. So getting up before work doesn't work, and after work all I want to do is go home. So, still reconsidering it but at the moment I think I will be happy with the walking. I plan to add some resistance training soon to start toning as I lose.
