What a roller coaster

I have now gone four days without paying close attention to what I am eating. As a result I have a migraine and worse than that, I have gained 7 pounds in those 4 days! I wasn't even on vacation. I just had a busy weekend! Its not even like I ate so badly it was simply that I didn't count calories and sugar snuck into my diet! Do those that don't have to watch every single bite they eat...do they know how good they have it?

What a ride this has been! I really must be more accountable! Should accountability come via this blog? I might just have to forget about all the eyes reading this and boringly and meticulously write down every tiny aspect of eating right just to keep me in line.

This week I am stick to mostly protein. I'm going to walk at least three times this week and drink at least a quart of water a day! You all do not know how huge that water thing is to me. Our temps have been in the 90's and 100's sometimes this summer and through it all I shun the water and continue sipping my hot coffee!!

Even though I want to lose weight with all my heart sometimes I wonder how much I really want to. If I really wanted to lose weight why would I sabotage myself so much?

  1. We just got done with an anniversary and three birthdays. Each of the three birthday kids had a cake or iced brownies here and at my parents' home. We've been eating at my parents' house every other week and my mom keeps making dessert. Two of our nieces also had/have (one is today) birthday, and we were at a birthday party for one of them Saturday. I did refrain from eating cake then. We still have brownies and cake in the house.

    Looking ahead, there are an awful lot of extended family get togethers and holidays coming in the months ahead.

    I was dealing with a major headache yesterday. I should probably be watching my diet as much as you are.

    I hope things get better for you!
