Okay, maybe when I weighed myself on Monday, that wasn't my "true weight." Maybe I was retaining water, or something, because this is coming off way too easily.

Oh well, I will not let that be reason to allow myself to become complacent. It isn't "easy" and "quick" to lose weight. It's a lifetime of making the right decisions.

The temperatures dropped so rapidly around here, that I knew I would be unable to get out and run. I ate a little bit more than I wanted too, as well, especially without the running to counteract it, but all in all, I had a lost. Plus, I did about 30 minutes of strenghtening. I did planks and crunches to try and tighten up my stomach.

The drop today was, in fact, a surprise. I am having pizza for dinner tonight, so I am watching my intake for today. I just don't want to go into the "Hate Food Death Spiral." Where I tell myself that since I am eating pizza, I can eat whatever I want because I'm not eating healthy. I am going to have two slices of pizza, and then I will fill myself up with an apple. And maybe a Smashbar, which I wish was a little bit bigger, but it is delicious for only 90 calories.

Anyway, this weekend doesn't seem to be that terrible. I am in charge of football snacks for Sunday, so I am going to have to watch what I eat, and make sure everyone else is happy. I am, of course, making wings, because they are a staple in our house, especially on Sundays. I just hope that I can maintain this loss throughout the weekend, and keep it going. I hate screwing up my weeks on the weekends, that has always been an issue of mine.

EDIT: I already had McDonald's today. But it was a kid's meal and they had apples and tiny french fries.

Alright, I know that my body is just cleansing itself from all the bad food that I have been eating over the past few months. And the weight is coming off quickly. However, I know that this is short lived. Although, I am working out more vigorously than I had been when I first started this journey almost two years ago, so I would assume that the progress will be much quicker. Until it isn't.

I hit a plateau between 129 and 133 pounds. I never really though much about, I thought to myself, "my body has found it's equilibrium and it'll fluctuate between these numbers." While I was telling myself that, I don't think I truly believed it. I was tired. I was so tired of scrutinizing every thing that went into my mouth. I was tired of the scale every morning. I was stuck, and instead of putting the pedal to the floor and plowing through the plateau, I gave up.

Look where that got me. 15 lbs heavier, and genuinely unhappy with myself. Again. I know that I am NOWHERE near where I was, and most of my clothes still fit (pants a little snug), but I can feel a difference in myself, and I don't like it. I hold all of my weight in my stomach, so when I gain, that's where it shows the most. A co-worker yesterday asked me if I was expecting. Really....I look at myself in the mirror and I don't think pregnant, I said to the person, "no, I'm just getting fat, thank you for pointing it out."

I got really upset about that, but then I realized that instead of letting it upset me, I will use it as fuel to drive me. So I went out, and did a walk/run for 60 minutes. I ran at least 3.5 miles, and walked 1. So, I am trying hard again. The weather right now, stinks, and I want to go out againn tongith, but I don't think that is going to be an option. I might have to run in place at home with the WiiFit, which is something that I haven't had to do in quite some time.

I also have to start doing crunches and planks again, as much as I hate them. I know that they will strengthen my core and give my abs, which I desperately want. I don't neccessarily want a 6 pack, but I want a flat stomach...again.

Alright, way too long winded for Day 2 back. Hope to hear from all of you and good luck in your own personal journeys as well.
