So today has been very good and very bad at the same time. When I woke up this morning, I found myself at 165- the highest my weight has ever been. Even though I've been working hard on living a healthy lifestyle, my weight went up another 2 or 3 pounds. So, needless to say, I was rather frustrated. On a positive note, however, my eating has been quite good. For breakfast, I made myself an egg sandwich with low calorie cheese on a mini everything bagel. For lunch, I had a chicken salad pita and a cup of fruit. My snack wasn't the healthiest (one Reese's cup), but that's all I've had to eat so far, and I plan on having a hamburger without a bun and some fresh veggies for dinner. So, it seems like the good and bad in my day have pretty much evened out... Now I just have to find a way to fit a work out in before bedtime!
Today was a bit of a let down on the diet front. My husband wanted to go to Atlanta Bread Company for breakfast, so I ended up eating an apple croissant and an everything bagel with margerine rather than my usual bowl of cereal. Started the day off on the wrong foot. But, after talking with the members in the weight loss community page, I'm starting to feel a little better. There are just some days that I don't know what to do with myself. I really think I have a hormonal imbalance because when I was on birth control I felt a lot more emotionally stable. There were less days when I felt out of control and just down right sad. Now that I've stopped using it (because of the unpleasant sexual side effects I was having) my emotions are up and down constantly. Perhaps this is because I have such an irregular body cycle. I don't know. It's a little frustrating not having any control over your own body... especially for a control freak like me! In the long run, though, I know I'll be okay...
So today is the day I start to make a difference in my own life. Getting engaged and then married made me feel too comfortable, and so, over the last 2 years I've gained somewhere between 15 and 20 pounds. My fitness level is way below what it used to be when I was a dancer for the University of Kentucky, and none of my clothes fit the way they used to. I've yo yo dieted for far too long now, and today begins a change in my attitude- in my self. I am going to be healthy, happy, and dead sexy!
