Chasing away Chubby

I did the Biggest Loser sculpting workout- 30 minutes!  It was hard.  It was good though.  Anyone looking for a weight lifting, toining workout this is the one for you. 

Food has been crap. Friday the food was so bad that I cringe thinking about it.  Today food wasn’t great, but I did try to make better choices.    I have had several “wake up calls” the last few days that have really made me think of how I am ruining all my progress.  I haven’t been working out, my food choices have been sinful.  I have no sort of control.  I was reverting back to my fatmelody ways.  I had 2 wake up calls the last few days that have been painful.   The first:  a picture.  I have slideshow as my screen saver.  It slides through all my photos on my computer.  I saw a pic a few days ago, that I took about a year ago.  It was of me and my cat.  I took the pic myself and it is hideous.  I have a huge double chin.  I mean HUGE.  It looks like I have an extra head !!  It’s disgusting looking.  Of course it probably wasn’t that bad, the angle was horrible, but just the thought that I might look like that again.  Well, It has been motivating. 

The second “wake up call” was much more simple.  They are stocking the swimsuits in Wal-mart.  OH, the horror!   

However, time is awastin’.  I need to get back on it before I do anymore damage. 

I have been eating out too much.  I have even lowered my standards to eating at McDonald’s!  :o   Something I had not done in months.  Luckily, my evian addiction is still going strong so there is no problem there.  Though, a few days I did have a craving for pop.  I am unsure if it was the pop I was wanting or the caffeine in the pop.  I am thinking it was the latter, as I have been really tired lately.  I also have been having horrific chocolate cravings.  Chocolate chip waffles, milky way midnights, and dove dark chocolate.  Evil, evil, evil.

Part of my problem is this cold I have.  My ears have been ringing.  My head hurts, my throat is sore, my sinus’ are driving nuts…I have felt pretty awful.  However I have been using everything as an excuse to eat like a pig and to sit on my ass!

ENOUGH!

There is no excuse for gaining this weight back.  NONE!   I can do this, I know I can and NOTHING is gonna get in my way.

That deserves to be repeated…

I can do this, I know I can and NOTHING is gonna get in my way.

Now Melody…it’s time to act like it.

I won’t be able to run tomorrow.  It is frigidly cold….13 degrees right now so that means no morning running, and then tomorrow afternoon we are suppose to get snow, ice, and everything else, so I can’t run in that.   So tomorrow I am going to do TBL cardio workout.  It doesn’t look like I will get a run in until Thursday.  The weather is just gonna be too bad until then.   However, I will workout indoors, stick to my diet (1400 calorie plan) and not let this uncontrollable urge to eat ruin my day.

Make good choices!  I may not like it at the time, but I will feel great about it later!
