I had a pretty bad day today with my diet. I exercised a lot, 60 minutes of strength training with my Ripped to the Core workout, a brisk 30-minute walk outside at work and then a 30-minute run/jog on my treadmill tonight. I ran tonight because I ate five butter cookies at work and then, ate BK with the kids tonight. I only had 3 chicken tenders and half a small fry, but I feel pretty gross.

My hamstrings are on fire right now and I can't wait for my yoga tomorrow morning to help me stretch. The crazy thing is that I am finding it harder to stick to my diet in phase 2 than I did in phase 1. How can that be? I can eat a lot more in phase 2. I hope I can stay on course and keep moving successfully towards phase 3.

I'm going to catch some Z's now. Good night and let's fight the good fight another day!

The big weigh-in today and I lost 0.5 pounds. I'll take it. After this past weekend of cake and baclava, I thought I'd have a red arrow pointing up. Sweet! now that I know how undisciplined the weekends can be, I'm making my menu plan now and ensuring that I can get beyond the sweet temptations. This coming Saturday I'm not worried about much, but Sunday is mother's day. Thankfully my husband is cooking a family brunch, so I'll be able to influence him to cook some of my diet choices.

In any event, I've lost some weight, Yahoo! On to my Ripped workout now.

Happy Monday! Coming up for air from a splurge ridden weekend, I feel great and excited to know that I didn't do any lasting damage. I'm weighing in steady. Phew! Tomorrow is my official weigh-in day,so I'll hop on the scale and report it.

This weekend I learned something exciting about myself. As we all know, it's the journey that counts and not necessarily the destination. Part of my weight-loss goal is to build myself up, gain some self-esteem and self pride while shedding some weight. It's an incredibly wonderful feeling for me to realize that I am not just casting envious looks at the world around me, I am pro-actively moving in the direction that I want to go. I am surrounded by people who constantly bemoan their fate, whatever it is - being overweight, being in debt, being tired of their job and these people never actually do anything to change their situation. Some give a half-hearted attempt at change and at the first obstacle or sign of resistance, all efforts go out the window. I am working hard for the change in my life! It feels damn good to know that I am plugging away at it and there is a change.

This weekend, while I know I ate somethings I shouldn't have (2 pieces of yellow cake laden with strawberry filling and delectable icing, and some homemade bacclava), I ate these "forbidden" foods with restraint. While I treated myself, in the back of my mind, I heard the voice of reason loud and clear reminding me that i was working hard to achieve something. I listened to the voice. I treated myself while I was at a bridal shower, but for the remainder of the day, I ate right and that felt great. I was so proud of myself.

It's a great thing to know that my hard work is paying off. There was no mental beating this time around, just a congratulatory "you've earned this girl!" That's self-esteem being built and self pride improving. People who love themselves don't tell themselves negative things! We affirm ourselves all the time, and I am finally doing this. Very awesome! This is going to be a great week! I can feel it.

Okay, I had my splurge day today. A little bit of TMI, it's that time of the month. I do apologize to one and all, but I am trying to rationalize what I just did.

This morning started out okay,Raspberry soy yogurt with one scrambled egg. Fine and well, next, a grapefruit and a decaf tea with no milk or sweetners. Breakfast was good. Then at lunch, I ate half a baked sweet potato, steamed carrots, an ounce of grilled steak (I stole a bite of my husband's steak) and 8oz of vegetarian lentil soup. Yummy in my tummy, I was on top of the world.

I got bored before the end of the work day and so I threw back a tossed salad with some cubed tofu. Maybe about 4oz, but that was it. All the while I was drinking water, it was great.

Then dinner, oh dinner! My husband brought home some chinese food with my permission, and I simply lost my mind. 2 crab rangoons, about a piece of beef teriyaki, and a chicken wing. My only saving grace was the fact that I made some brown rice and ate it with my meal. Then, I had a tofutti sandwich bar (about 130 calories on its own), a cup of decaf coffee and a honey nut cheerios cereal bar (another 160 calories).

I think I am going to be ill! Ah well, It was good while it lasted. I'll start up again tomorrow! Boo yah!
