Isn’t it funny how when we don’t have the same motivations in place, we lose track of our goals temporarily and it becomes harder to recover each time?Â

Fit club finished a week ago for me. I went in and got weighed & measured, and was pleased with my results. 17 lbs and 12 inches is no laughing matter. I have no idea if I won or not, I’m still hoping for that. But with the end of the Fit Club, came the end of my excellent eating “habits” and I’m finding it hard to recover from that.

I hope to be as honest with myself as I am with all of you, and in so doing I am finding that I need to retrained in so many ways. Over the last week, I have gone from eating grilled chicken, lots of salad, and doing lots of exercise to having some pizza, some chocolate, some POP!!!, and not going to the gym.Â

Now, granted, I haven’t been very well over the last week - not well at all….but that right there should have been enough to remind me of WHY I should be eating well. What good does the junky stuff do my body? It certainly doesn’t help me get better does it?Â

As I sat here tonight looking through my food diary, I was horrified to see what a difference there was between the two weeks. To be fair, I haven’t been toooo bad, but there is certainly room for much improvement. My scale is showing I am still down…but that is MY scale and there is a difference between mine and the Weight Watchers one.Â

I’m hoping to take the kids to the school tomorrow on their Pro D Day so that we can play soccer and take a walk up Christmas Hill - get some exercise. We’ll see.

I suck at this…….royally suck.
