Carry On...

I'm sitting here watching Biggest Loser so I thought it appropriate to do a blog post.  I have NOT made wise eating choices the past couple of days.  This weekend Ian got sick again with a fever that just won't go away and today the main water drain clogged up and flooded the basement.  Good times!!  Luckily the plumber came right away and cleaned it out.  After a nice long day of laundry tomorrow we should be back in business.  I have been in a huge funk and just used everything as an excuse to not eat wisely (which of course, I know, there are no excuses).  I got to talk some things out tonight with my counselor (yep, I see a counselor.  It's awesome, I love her and she helps me a ton.  So there! LOL) and I am feeling much better.  Not sure how this upcoming weekend's weigh-in will be as a result but hey, live and learn I guess.  Can't change the past so there's no point in worrying about it now.  As one of my favorite verses go "may your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground...carry on".  :)

On a positive, I was down 2 more pounds this week!  I'm at 209.  10 pounds away from ONEderland!!  Well, if I'm being technical, 9.1 pounds away! haha!  I also took my measurements and I lost about 5.5 inches in the month of February.  Pretty awesome. 

I was telling Aaron last week how I was feeling frustrated and he gave me an assignment.  Every day I am supposed to write down something I did that day that was positive.  It can be weight or food related, or just something I feel I did a great job with, like the kids or a workout or whatever.  I'm going to really try to do that, because it reminds me of the changes I am making and how hard I am working.  I'm going to call them my daily victories...here are the first couple I wrote down:

1. My workout with Aaron was awesome.  Used a rope ladder for the first time to do agility/cardio stuff and kept pressing on even though I am uncoordinated as hell and must have looked like a total idiot.  :)  Also worked on some core stuff that a couple months ago I would never have been able to do. 

2. Went to Ruby Tuesdays with mom and the boys.  I met Jami there right after Luke was first born and ate a baked potato and some other not wonderful things.  She ordered the salad bar and a grilled chicken breast on the side and I remember thinking, now why don't I order stuff like that?  SO when I went with mom the other day....I had the salad bar.  And a chicken breast.  :)
