Frustrations and defeat

So during the 4th of July weekend I was all set to log into MFP for the 50th day in a row. A huge accomplishment for me. Well guess what...today I am on a 4 day streak. I was so pissed at myself. So frustrated and annoyed. To top it off, last night was the 1st night I worked out since biking on Friday. So things are very slow going if I look at the scale. Inches I think are coming off cause I don't feel so tight in my own clothes anymore. But I am stuck back at a 10 pound loss so far on this journey. I do know that it was a fun but processed weekend. Food, sweets, drinks and no workouts added up. But I only missed 1 day of being accountable and tracking my food. I am back at it. Jumped back into a walk last night which felt great. Tracked everything and felt wonderful going to bed last night. I prepped my lunch for today, prepped peaches for smoothies for dinner this week. I am all set to attack these 5 pounds and clear them out.

I did feel a day of being defeated. And wondering if all of this planning and tracking was really worth it. The change doesn't happen on the outside unless we change how we feel about it on the inside.

Independance Day!

Happy 4th of July! Today my plan/goal was to bike from my house, to the starting point of the trail that I actually get on when I work Friday's. I knew that we only had 2 miles to go at the point we were turning around. So what is a extra 4 miles....well it's a lot! Hahah. But we did it. I am so glad that we made it home. And I am so proud of myself for setting the goal and doing it. We-oldest daughter and I-biked 11.45 miles which is the most I have ever done. Go me!

Fun and random stats, today is the 49th day IN A ROW that I have logged my foods and exercise into MFP. It is also the12th day with the 2nd phase of ISA. This is slightly different and less strict this time around. I am also getting ready to follow a ISA challenge with cleansing starting on Monday. I am going to attempt it that is.

Right now I am going to keep mindful of my calories going in. I am going to enjoy the Holiday with my family and workout when I can. But I am not going to loose sleep over anything that doesn't go as planned. Monday is a new day and will hold a new plan.

9 days Stage 2

I think I like the sound of stages instead of part. Oh or phases, like a construction project. Nah, stage is better.

You know it really is the same old with me. Got up and took my CFL this morning. Prepped my lunch(reminder that I need to log it) and I measured out my shake powder. I am not bored with the program or my walking. I actually enjoy the simple routine. It's easy for me to follow and plan for.

However some times you have to throw caution to the wind and just have a night of drinks, chips, salsa and a great friend who listens to you.

And so it goes. Here's to tomorrow.
