View PRNCSSGRL's food & exercise for this day
I didn't check in with CK for the past two days. Something happened to me emotionally Friday evening and I was bound and determined not to log my food intake and internally shook an angry fist at the whole idea of making mindful choices about my food.
I didn't go as overboard as I thought I would. Today I sat down and logged everything I remember eating (I think I got it all) and am pleasantly surprised that subconsciously I was still trying to make mindful eating decisions. I think the only thing that really suffered was my water intake as there practically wasn't any during the last two days.
I realize there are going to be good days and not so good days. My husband says he sees a difference already. I want to believe him. I wish I could see some changes. 20 minutes on the treadmill was all I could do today. I really thought I could go the 25 today but I just didn't have it in me. I might just try to get another round in when I get home later tonight.

I've found that people always seem to find differences well before you will. It's odd how that happens because you'd think that you would know your body size/shape the best. Only you can tell when you're fitting more loosely in those clothes. But still I think it takes a while for us as the ones trying to lose weight a while to begin to notice a change.
Whenever I've ever went on a weight-loss campaign, and without ever telling anyone anything about it, people would come up to me and ask if I've been losing weight because I just some how look different. I'd usually dismiss their claims and say that I don't really feel or see any weight loss. But obviously something must be going on because they never would know about my personal secretive efforts.
I think if your only backsliding was the lack of water is almost laughable. No one is perfect, and to fault yourself or feel badly just because you didn't drink water over soda or something more healthy for 2 days is no need to bring yourself down.
We all want instant results, the harder we work at it, the more we want those results to be instant. Sadly it doesn't work that way, but you just got to maintain a steady pace. Don't trip yourself up by increasing your efforts, and don't slack off either.
Good luck and make your goal happen!

Logging down the good days and the bad days are important! Good for you for doing it!!!
Any 20 minutes on the treadmill is WAY better then NO minutes!!!! You didn't give up and not even bother to try!
