Struggling this week..

It's been tough getting back on the wagon this week. While I've been trying to get exercise in each day and keep under my calorie goal, it's just not working. I'm starting to get a little discouraged, and I'm ready to throw in the towel.. for the rest of the week. 

I joined a challenge group on MFP to lose 10lbs from July 1 to September 1, and since I've made a personal goal to lose 20lbs by the end of the summer, I figure that a little more motivation can't hurt. 

I think what's making it hard for me to keep on track right now is that I've fallen away from my plan. I need to get back on it, and get things back to square one. So now, the plan for this challenge stand as thus:

  • Exercise (C25K, walking, WATP, SttO videos, etc) at least 5 days of the week. The endorphins will also do me some good.
  • Eat healthy, nutritious food. I don't have to go as far as the 8 week challenge, but I'd still like to use a lot of that as a base.
  • If need be, create meal plans for myself to follow, and make sure that I have a lot of yummy healthy stuff on hand that I can have in a pinch.
 So again, a simple plan, with a simple goal. Let's see if I can meet the challenge goal, if not my own goal.

Wish me luck!

    1. I may take you up on that offer! So long as you don't actually heckle and you understand the my fat arse can only go so fast (you're fit, I get it). I try to get out early in the morning, so I don't know if that would be a problem for you or not. Come to think of it, having someone that I have to be accountable to might be a good way to get me out of bed...
