Another day, another weigh in...

At my weigh in this morning, I was 170.2. So, one pound back down from last Wednesday. It has been a week since I last went to the gym. I have decided to join two challenges to help further motivate me to lose weight. I am going to do a 30 day challenge with my friend Jessie. The goal for this challenge is no cheating on good and no booze for 30 days. I am going to stick with my 1500 calorie a day plan. I am also joining a biggest loser contest at the gym. It's five bucks to enter, and the winner gets 6 months free at the gym. The final weigh in is March 31, so I have about 60 days to kick butt and lose it! (The weight, not the contest!)
Sticking with diet and exercise is such a struggle for me. Does anyone else have a hard time with it? I love to eat! I also find myself reaching for food when I am stressed...or sad...or celebrating. I have literally said to hubby C, "Cook me something fat, I had a bad day." And, bless his heart, he never fails to cook something yummy. I may enjoy eating junk, but I don't enjoy how I feel after. I don't like how I feel at the store when I have to ask the sales lady for a bigger size. I don't like being out of breath when I go check the mail. I don't like feeling ginormous in all the pictures I take. I don't like constantly pulling my shirt down to cover my jelly rolls. Eating bad may help me feel better in the moment, but it isn't helping me feel better in all the other moments. So, for these reasons and more I will lose it. I hope everyone is having a happy hump day. Get out and move it to lose it!
