It’s all up to me

…until I can call it a perfect week.  I was able to get through the PMS attack of last night and as of right now I’m feeling pretty good.  I know the rough time is going to be between now and supper time, but I WILL make it through.  It might not be pretty, but I will do it.  I don’t know if the scale is going to reward me w/a peek into the 230’s but if I don’t get there I truly know that it’s more due to hormonal fluctuations than my own behavior.  This morning it said 240.0, I’m soooooo close.

Got in a good workout (TJ Cardio party) as well as a “workout” for grown-ups so I’m in a great mood.  I realized how necessary it is for me to eat a bit before my workouts b/c it had been about 3 hours since I had eaten anything and I had trouble keeping up during the middle part of the workout.  I need to remember that the next time I think I’m doing something smart by cutting calories when in reality I’m cutting the fuel that keeps me going.

So the goal for today is to stay perfect for the next 8 hours or so.  By then it will be close enough to bedtime that I will be able to call it a perfect week.  Even though it was a struggle to stay perfect during this PMS week, I almost wonder if that should be my plan–going for a perfect week every 4 weeks.  I know if I hadn’t set this goal that I would have gone off-plan and downed some oreos.  I guess I have 4 more weeks to decide if I want to make this a permanent part of my plan.

Progress toward workout goal:  83/250
