Curvy is the new black

Okay. So I've decided to start fresh. screw discouragement! it gets me nowhere!! I'm starting my summer slimdown plan TODAY. Here's the rundown:

Time Frame: June (2 wks.), July (4 wks.), August (4 wks.), September (3 wks--till the 23rd).

Goal: Gain strength. Tone up. Slim down. Build muscle, lose fat. To not get consumed with numbers and scale related successes but focus on confidence and health.

Method:

1. Spend at least 1 hour everyday outside, doing something active.
2. Eat wisely; be concious!
3. Drink up on water and water based foods (low-energy density=satisfaction)
4. Journal what I eat. why?: because I eat so much that I'm unaware of, and eat I it for the wrong reasons.
5. Be active EVERY SINGLE DAY. why?: because there is no reason not to be, it's beautiful outside and you want to spend your summer trying new things and going on adventures!

Great week. Bad week. Bad week. And here I sit. I can't seem to be consistent. I'm turning to food for all the wrong reasons and not working out. Which is leaving me feeling depressed, disgusting and out of control. I don't like feel this way. I hate being so obsessed with my body, no one should be. I know how to solve my current predicament but somehow I can't muster up the motivation and drive to actually do that..consistently. I'm down 2.8 then down 1.4, then up 2.8. AH. I hate that I know the point value of everything as I'm stuffing it into my face. I hate that I can't just seem to snap back on program.

I lost what I had gained last week. SO EXCITING. I feel so much more in control this week, so far that is. I've been journaling everything that goes into my mouth. Which, consequently, makes me much more aware of what I'm eating. I'm heading off to Eastern Washington today for a concert and bringing snacks and lunch and breakfast for tommorow. It's wonderful. And I've journaled it all already. ha! I love this program. I'm so excited to see more results.
