Day 10: Minor setbacks

Day 10: Weigh-in 176.6

So today was sort of a bad day for me. Feeling slightly discouraged about this morning's weigh-in, I approached the day with a slight 'devil may care' attitude. I skipped breakfast, ate half of a LC for lunch, had a few cookies (seriously though, just a few) and had a chocolate lolly pop left from my stocking. I also had a Coke for lunch and dinner. Dinner was perogies and peas covered in butter and salt. Maybe not the worst possible day, but certainly not what I should have done. To make matters worse, I've already made plans with friends and family to have a pizza and wings night tomorrow.

However, I have seen the error of my ways. I know I need to do better, and I will. Tomorrow is a workout day, and I plan to throw myself into it. I also plan on slamming back water as much as I can stand from here on out. I used to do this stupid thing as a kid... my brother and I would race to see who could drink an entire bottle of water the fastest. I can do it these days in about 14 seconds. Maybe its not the most mature way of doing things, but it makes drinking water a little more fun, and ensures I actually drink a whole bottle instead of just playing with it for a day.

On days like this, I'm always tempted to lie about my morning weigh-in or skip the daily post all together. I feel like if I'm not showing progress then I'm letting everyone down. It's hard to actually come out and express my shortcomings to others. However, I always (thankfully) realize that I wouldn't be lying to everyone else, I'd be lying to myself. I'd be making up progress that wasn't really happening which in turn would skew my goals and what I need to do to attain them. So in the future, if I have a bad day, I am not going to lie or exaggerate about it. That's a promise to you and to myself. I may not make that day's post very long though, since I don't see a need to dwell on it.
