View MIPACKERFAN's food & exercise for this day
Logging. I need to start logging again! I also need to get back on track. With it being so busy at work and at home, I've kind thrown my hands up in the air and not cared. I have to get back to caring. The first step - get to the grocery store. I haven't been in two weeks! Pre-CK, that wouldn't have been such a big deal because most of what I ate was packaged anyway. If I had milk, I could eat. Most of that stuff is gone from my house, forcing me to eat fresh veggies and fruits.
So today I'm off to the store. And I think I'm going to make a vegetable soup today. I can't decide if I want barley in it (well, I know I do, but the calories go up with them in it!). I've found that I really love vegetable soup, and am a little concerned about the summer - soup in the summer just doesn't go very well. I'll have to find an alternative.
My weight has been hovering right at 270. I've been there now for about three weeks. But given my intake for those three weeks, there's no reason it should have gone down. I do still notice a difference in my clothes, so that helps, too.
It's so easy to use work and our lives as an excuse to not do what we know is best for us. Fail to plan and plan to fail. I don't know that I've been failing these past few weeks, but I sure haven't been succeeding. I want to get back having that excitement of stepping on the scale and seeing the numbers go down (even if it's just .2!) from the day before.
Oh, one other thing. If you've read my blog in the past, you know I'm a little concerned about a trip I have coming up this summer, and how I'll fit into the airplane seat. We were at lunch yesterday (at work), and the person who was saying this is a nice and skinny person. She was talking about that person walking down the aisle of the airplane and hoping and praying they didn't sit next to her. Of course, the man did. If nothing else, it confirmed my fears about others, sitting on the plane, hoping the fat girl doesn't sit next to them.
I want to be comfortable in the plane on my trip. I don't want to be self conscious. And I'm behind on my goals. I should be in the low 260s by now...and I'm still at 270. It's time to get cracking on this weight issue!

Honestly, I'd rather sit next to a person on the large side than the man I got as a seat-mate on my last flight. He spent the entire 2 hours trying to convert me to his religion. I'm sure he was a nice man, but I wanted to hit him over the head with my suitcase by the time we landed! Sounds like you are re-committing to your goals -- that's a great step. I love soup also!!

People suck.
We are judged by our appearances, like it or not.
And we judge others. Like it or not.
All we can do is keep loving each others potential...
*sigh*
Keep the faith sista!
We can do it!
