Goal Status: Level FAILED

Since I set a goal date, and a goal. I thought I owe it to you guys and myself to see where I stood. 

It is now -2 days since my goal date....


My weight yesterday was 171.2 0 which means....I gained 0.6 pounds instead of losing 10. 

yup. truth. 

So....let me tell you how I feel: 

• ashamed
• lazy
• like I let myself down....who can't lose 10lbs in three months....I started of strong...and let my lack of will keep me from reaching my goal. 

Needless to say, I'm disappointed in myself. There is no one else to blame. 

This is my body. This is my health. I need to get my shit together. 

That said...there have been some positive changes over the past three months for me. 


Positive Changes: 

• The first soda I had in three months was on my birthday and it was one diet pepsi at Vinny's. 
• I started 5:30 runs on days that don't include Kickboxing with Kara.
• I've successfully blogged for 3 months 
• Kickboxing with Kara! 

No....it's not a lot, but it's a start towards a life change. I can't do weight watchers...yes it works, but I can't count points for my entire life....just can't do it...and let's face it, it works until you stop going to meetings....and then it stops working...FAST. 

I have to find a lifestyle I can be happy with and something I can sustain....and while I search for that lifestyle change I feel that if I am at least making exercise a priority and being conscience of what I eat then I am giving my self a positive head start. 

That all being said, it's time to make a new goal for myself. 

....hmmm....

...well, it's the hardest time of year to diet...wanna know why?

• Thanksgiving
• Cold weather (warm food)
• Pumpkin flavored things
• Thanksgiving
• Pumpkin Flavored things
• Oktoberfest Beer
• Birthdays Birthdays Birthdays
• Thanksgiving
• oh....and pumpkin flavored everything! 

I think I do well with short term goals....I get distracted in the long run and fail. (clearly)....

...So I think my new goal is going to be "Baby Christian" along with Kristina...and mine is going to be 5lbs. 

Drop 5lbs in 25 days....

That is on average 0.2lbs a day and 1.4 lbs a week. 

That is my goal. 

Updating the ticker! 

Wish me luck....

...and let me just say...

Thank you ladies, for continuing to log on...for continuing to try with me and for continuing to be inspiration.  It helps to know that I'm not doing this alone...I'm proud of us! (Even if we fail)
