Day 3...

Not doing so well on my challenge for myself. I'm having a hard time getting going. I'm confused as to what I should do. Should I count POINTS? Should I just focus on controlling my portions? Controlling my portions sounds less "diet-y", which is what I'm looking for. I just don't know. I don't feel so good right now. Food looks gross, so when I eat, I just eat whatever, trying not to think about it. Usually it is something not good for me. Hummmmm.... Ok, I will figure it out. I want a lifestyle I can live w/out feeling deprived. I really just need to start exercising. I'm just staying the same weight-wise, so if I add in exercise, I will more than likely drop some poundage. Talking with Chuck made me decide I may just keep a food journal of what I eat and how I feel when I eat it. So I will write if I'm hungry, bored, famished, sad, happy, hanging with friends (that's when food flies in my mouth). So maybe that will be the plan of the week.

I changed a couple things on my goals...

1. drink 72 oz. water (I need to ease into this one and 96 oz just wasn't working and I was feeling like a failure! No good!!!)

2. Some sort of exercise 5/7 days... (Working on this one... should work count? I'm on my feet walking, lifting, squatting and such for the 4-5 hours I'm there???)

3. Accurate food journal (no counting POINTS, just focusing on portions and moods)

4. 8pm cut-off for eating (I thought this was more important for weight-loss as compared to a vitamin)

5. No bad fast food (Still keeping this one. I like it! I have done good for 3 days! Woohoo! My girlies even asked for Taco Bell last night and I told them no, we didn't need to eat that junk!)

So... on to a new day tomorrow! Wish me luck! And good luck to everybody who has their own goals! I know you can do it! Maybe we should post again on "Goal-den Girls" again for everyone who wants support. Does that work for you guys or is something else better for you? Let me know!

Have a FABULOUS night people!
