Two Days Down

Well, I’ve survived two days better than what I figured I would do.  I didn’t intend on counting points again right away but I did. I just started doing it and fell right back into it.  I’m so excited.   I know I can do this. 

Back At It

Ok, i survived the second semester of nursing classes. Two down and one more to go.  Yippee!!  I am ashamed to say that I gained back close to 15 pounds. Yikes!  Well, I weighed in at 254.4 this morning.  So where does this leave me.   It leaves me with hard work.  Stress has gotten me here.  I’ve made excuses after excuses.   It’s exactly what it is excuses.  I am going to work hard and stop making them.  Stress is part of everyday life. I don’t believe there is one person out there who can claim to have a total stress free life.  I came to the conclusion though that not eating right and not following plan is causing me stress.  I made out some diary sheets that will allow me to write down my food for every meal and snack.  I have a spot to write down my exercise, track my water intake, and there is even a spot at the end of the week to write my accomplishments and the things I need to work on. 

I am on my last day of vacation.  I did manage to get rid of the dew during vacation so that is a great thing.  I just need to work on food portions, exercise, and the kinds of food.  This is doable. I’ve done it before and can do it again successfully this time.
