Today I will track

Friday August 30th, 2013 (203.8lbs)

I really think I can do this... it isn't that 'huge' I can lose 4 lbs and drop below 199.9 for sure. I just have to keep focused for a few days or a week and it will happen. I bet if I don't blow things this weekend, and if I am busy running around after Bridget and helping out with the picnic I will be successful.
I have to stay away from the deserts and cheese and bread/chips!!!  I can eat protein and veggies!
(probably the hardest for me will be the deserts... mmmmm I love sweets) But if I don't have one I wont crave more... so it is probably easiest if I don't eat any sweet stuff.

Yes, I will do this.

Being down to 199.9 by September 14th is nothing!!!
That gives me just over 2 weeks to lose approximately 4 lbs.
This is reasonable, considering if all I do is:

1) eat oatmeal for breakfast (x5 days per week)
2) write down all my food intake
3) stay roughly within my daily points allowance (29-35)
4) do a minimum of 30 minutes of cardio with my weight training, and add an extra cardio session (so I will be exercising 3x per week)
5) be honest and jump back on the wagon even if I slip up for one meal or snack
6) focus on my goal & be accountable for my actions.

I think this is critical... I need to make sure that I get right back on... one slip up is not a reason to throw in the towel. I have a habit of slipping up and then saying 'oh well, I've ruined everything, so I may as well enjoy myself...'
This will not get it done.

This will not get me my Mediterranean cruise.

Yesterday was an OK day, I wrote down *most* of my food, I got to the gym, did my cardio and was conscious of my behaviors throughout the day.
If the one thing I can master is writing down my food intake, I know I will be successful.

so  instead of trying  to do 5 things, Today I will do this:

I WILL TRACK ALL MY FOOD INTAKE

I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Ciao,
