Sunday April 29

Another week has passed and I had no loss.  Frustrating but when I look back it was all me.  I was out of my plan and making executions on a regular basis.  Too make me feel better I am surprised I didn’t gain. 

A bigger frustration is that I know what to do and I know it is not that hard, but I still choose to do the wrong things.  Why do I do that?  What will it take to get me back on track?  It can’t be that I don’t get to eat what I want, because if I do what I am supposed to the plan allow me to have a full free day once a week.  Isn’t that enough?  It comes down to the basic.  If I want a new me I need to change from the old ways. 

My goal for the week is to get back to eating right, in the right amounts, at the right times.  And do the right exercising, then we will see how the scale reads next Sunday. 

Eating:  Not good

Did run the mile in 10:28.   

Wednesday April 25

Today I was again on the road with work and out early.  I am still finding that when I travel I don’t do real well.  I come by my favorite spots and I make a stop.  Not sure if that really bugs me or not.  I really do like the food or snack I get at these places, but I don’t eat right.  What does make me feel better is I don’t feel guilt anymore when I have a moment or meal that is not the right foods.  I know deep down, I will stay on track again, and that the moment is not a straight shot down the road to weight gain because I will quite trying.

Bkfst: Strawberry protein shake.  Mid mr snk:  Blueberry Fritter, and latte.  Lunch:  Chicken Crispers from Chili’s Restaurant.  Aft snk: Missed on the road.  Dinner: 2 eggs, 3 pieces of toast.  Ev Snk Ice cream 2 scoops.  Lots of water

Ex: Baseball practice.

Sunday April 22

Last week was way too many free days.  It is suprising I even dropped a pound.  And weekends are still tough for me to follow a eating right day.

No exercise.  raining.  and lazy.

Wednesday April 18.

I am like I believe most people.  Today I was under the normal stresses of a busy and important day at work.  Eating while planning and reviewing my meetings happened.  Whatever was available I ate.  In the looking back from the next morning I will call that my FREE Day, but it was not intented to be when it started.  Also, as I am going through this process I am not feeling bad like I would have during past diets.  In the past it would have upset me and I would probably have given up.  With the new right way of doing my fitness it was just a bump in the road.

Free day for food.

No exercise.
