I'm back up in weight again. Basically everything that happened last week is gone. It's disappointing, but it's my own fault since I've been stress eating or whatever it is I'm doing. This week has just kind of been a wash as far as diet is concerned. Will I ever get my ass in gear and stick to it?!?

I also haven't been tracking my food consumption, whoops.

Though I haven't been alllll bad. I've gone to the gym every day that I'm suppose to, so far. Went Saturday and Sunday, Monday was an off day, and went last night. I'm sore, but I had the best sleep I've had in weeks last night (I still feel ridiculously tired and crappy). It's off to the gym again tonight and then Thursday/Friday off. Saturday's going to be a pretty busy day beecause I'm doing some friends' makeup for a wedding, but I think I just need to get up earlier than needed and hit the gym (which'll be 7am...ew) then have a nap in the afternoon before I work.

I'm starting a Brown Bag Challenge as of September 1, which means I can't go out for lunch in all of September. It'll be tough because I'm sure that's when - knowing my luck - my social life will pick up and I'll be invited out for lunch more. But I want to do it, and it'll be good on my wallet and my waistline, I think. So...discipline! And time to get creative with lunches...

Anyways, just wanted to update...later!

I'm officially done with the "diet". I think I'm just going to try to eat the healthiest possible while counting calories, and just go that route. I hate feeling like I'm depriving myself, and it just makes me more apt to binge and COMPLETELY ruin everything.

I also forgot to track my food towards the end of the week and on the weekends. Whoops.

On a happy note, I finally got off my ass and got to the gym. I went on both Saturday AND Sunday, as planned, so yay me! I'm definitely feeling the good burn right now, too...it's a great feeling! I'm going for dinner with a friend tonight, but after that I'm going to try to still make it to the gym (we're going right when I get home, so I should have time). Otherwise...I guess there's still tomorrow and Wednesday. :)

After yesterday, and two days on my "diet", I've come to a conclusion: regimented diet plans do not work for me. In theory, planning out meals for the whole week is great, but I'm a picky eater (to an extent) and having to eat something right now as opposed to tomorrow, when I'm not in the mood for that particular food, just makes me want to rebel against the plan. So I end up doing something like eating junk food or snacking on something after I've eaten, etc. Not to mention I seem to always be hungry...So I think what will work for me best is to count calories, plan my food out to an extent, and try and eat as healthy as I can without depriving myself completely (which will just lead to binges on junk food and sweets).

My weigh in today shows I gained a bit of weight. It's minimal enough that I'm not worried, since it could just be water weight or whatever. I did get pretty close to my RDI yesterday, though, so that might have something to do with it. Or the salt that I put on my popcorn (which wasn't much - but it was still there). Either way, I figure that's why I'm up a little bit in weight.

In the good news, I cruised through Jillian Michaels' Making the Cut book, and am 99.9% sure that I'm going to do the 30-day workout plan, starting this Saturday. It looks like it's a gym version of the 30 Day Shred, which I prefer since there isn't really anywhere to work out in my condo. Not to mention the neighbor downstairs would probably complain due to the bouncing around and what not. I've altered the schedule a teensy bit so that the days off coincide with the days I work both jobs, but it's minimal and shouldn't have too much of an impact. So be prepared to see some journal entries of me bitching about how sore I am, haha!

Oh, and I ordered three books yesterday, all by Jillian Michaels: Making the Cut, Master Your Metabolism, and the Master Your Metabolism Cookbook. Yes, I'm on a Jillian Michaels kick - I really like the way she writes. I wanted to have the books permanently (as opposed to just out of the library), so now I will...once they arrive.
