I managed to survive my first week back OP. It definitely had some bumps along the way, but I managed to get my ass back in gear after 2 nights of binging. I weighed-in this morning 2.4lbs lighter than I weighed last Friday! I was hoping to just maintain this week after going out drinking and eating tacos on Friday and then binging both Sunday and Monday nights.
I've been making about 3-4 goals each day for the past several days and I think it's been helping me stay on track. Granted they are the same 3 or 4 goals everyday - journal, drink 64oz water, exercise (or not depending if it's a rest day), and getting in 5 fruits/veggies. I figure this is a good place to start and then I'll work on adding other goals, like getting in 2 dairy and getting my healthy oils in. Yesterday I didn't reach my 5 fruits/veggies goal, but I did get at least 3 in. I should have no problems with that today. I've already got my 5 planned out.
I'm getting ready to leave work for a bit to go home and exercise. I love that I am so close to the office that I can go home and workout during the middle of the day. This is particularly nice since I live on the third floor and I always feel like I'm making a ton of noise for the person below me. I don't think she's there during the middle of the day though. I have spoken to her once about the whole noise thing - she said she doesn't hear me, but I told her to let me know if it becomes a problem.
Not much planned for this weekend. I really need to clean my apartment. The floors need to be mopped so bad. Fun fun fun. I am hiking on Sunday morning with my sister. That's always fun and definitely a good workout. I think I might try and put my Christmas shopping list together. I need start working on that if I'm going to be able to afford to get everyone something.
