Confessions
Where do I start? Okay, so last Friday I was in a training meeting for a couple education project. A couple of the people from our cohort and I usually go to Maverick to get frozen yogurt during the break (which is fat free). Throughout the training, Dr. Larson kept talking about burritos, so I was super freakin' hungry by the time the break came. Not only did I get a huge thing of frozen yogurt, but also one of those wicked skanky hot dogs they sell at gas stations. Later that night, we made a DiGiorno stuffed crust pizza. Lisa ate 1 slice, I ate 7!! Then I pounded 2 huge glasses of Root Beer, 2 Cokes, and a butt-load of chips and crackers.
The next day I did pretty good, but didn't get to eat dinner until almost 9, so I ate way too much. Then, on Sunday, I made some sweet guacamole and two pans of enchiladas. I probably don't need to explain why that was a temptation. And, to top it all off, the MFT applicants for this year had interviews today and we had to be there to answer questions for them. They fed us Brick Oven pizza at the end.....I had 6 pieces and a ton of Root Beer. As if that wasn't enough, I have to pull an all-nighter tonight, so after I'm done with this post I'll be purchasing a 2-liter of Coke. I feel like a turd!
What Worked
The usual, when I was able to pull it off. I did exercise quite a bit last week, but it made my leg tighten up super bad. After Steve (my PT) beat the crap out of my butt, he told me that I'll have to start a lot slower with exercise. That knocked the wind out of me because I really want to start up again. Also, getting more clients has helped because I know that means I have to wear dress pants more often. Nothing is more uncomfortable for me than wearing dress pants that don't fit.
Goals
I am going to try to work out lightly this week. I really need to get back on track with my water as well. That always makes it easier for me to eat healthy.
Good luck everyone!

Wow, what a great weight loss! You've lost 11 all together!!! Pretty impressive!
I'm glad you were able to get some exercise in. Even though you are limited on what you can do, can you swim? I think that being in the water helps the back and it can be a really good work out if you swim laps.
I did find something that helps with the stress. I've found that if I chew gum, it helps the stress and gives my mouth something to do! Good luck this week!
matt - that is freakin' amazing that you still lost weight, in spite of your confessions! and i'm with mom...11 pounds is a great accomplishment. you're almost halfway there!
trying to eat healthy takes a lot of focus and time. i know you don't have much of either to devote to anything besides work and family right now, so give yourself a break. my advice (with the pizza thing, since it is also a weakness of mine) would be to eat two pieces and make yourself wait twenty minutes. if after twenty minutes, you still want more, then have one more piece. pizza is scary because you can stuff it in SO fast and then you blow your mind about how much you took in! you're doing great, keep it up and good luck with the exercise. hope your leg feels better this week.
mom, congrats on the gum chewing discovery! i forgot that that is definitely a tactic to use against cravings!
