Back in the game!

Down 4 pounds! Just thought I'd share.

I'm sorry.

I've been totally MIA from this blog. I'm sorry. I stopped trying. I stopped giving a shit. Old habits skipped joyfully back into my life in the form of fast food, candy and huge portions. I'm not going to lie, I liked it. Bad habits taste good... At the time. The after-taste is awful. Just awful. I've gained about 10 lbs back. I cannot gain anymore. No. No. No.

I'm putting my foot down again. I HAVE to start tracking my food. I do so much better when I do. I got an awesome elliptical last month and I HAVE to start using it consistently along with strength training exercises. I HAVE to remind myself daily that I am stronger than my bad habits-- I do have self discipline.

My long term goals:
-track everything I put in my mouth. I mean, EVERYTHING.
-exercise 5 days a week for 30 mins minimum.
-stop eating in front of the t.v.
-stop getting fast food
-drink at least 120 oz of water a day

My short term goal:
-lose 5 lbs by Aug. 31

What I have been doing well:
No soda! Woohoo! If I feel I need some caffiene, I have been getting green tea or coffee instead. I'm pretty proud of myself for this.
AND... That's about it...

I'll try to be more consistent with writing, too, but I'm not making any promises.... about that at least.
