What is there to say? Yo Yo Me here. Although when I got on the scale at the gym on Sunday and saw the upwards creep I was shocked and have been on track since. I also had occasion to put on the old vest they gave me when I started my job in November and I can't button it. Yikes. So then I measured myself and I am many inches larger than I was in early November.
Not good. Not the direction I want to be going. No, no, no.
I could do a show and tell ( but I won't because running around the lobby and office with a camera would be frowned upon) of all the temptations I am surrounded by every night I work and you would understand. Bowls of candy, trays of pastries and cookie jars which I must keep stocked also popcorn and these amazing flavored peanuts in the bar. And yes, there are bowls of fruit, too.
I bring my nice healthy dinner each night and drink lots of water and green tea. The majority of the time I am not tempted. I am busy or good at distracting myself. It is just those nights that I slip, I can't even say what it is that happens or why some times I am just
so hungry and nothing fills me up.
I have always had extraordinary "will power." I realize at some point after the summer I just stopped having the will. Now I need to summon it up again. Times are tough but I need to get tougher!
If anyone can do it, it's YOU! That's a lot of temptation, and I'm impressed that it's not an every night kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how weight/fat gain can creep up on one so easily, but weight/fat loss is never easy!
ReplyDeleteIt was good to see your blog pop back up on my Google Reader. I need to add your other blog so I realize you haven't gone MIA.
Hang in there with us.

Did you read MizFit's post about willingness instead of willpower? I know I was not the only one struck by it since I saw it mentioned on many blogs. I'd be so frustrated surrounded by all that stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone.
ReplyDeleteI think this is where WW helps--eat something every day, but put it into your plan. I eat one Hershey Nugget each night and it really helps (though it also helps that I have my husband hide the bag and just dole me out the one (or two) a night.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of temptation for sure.
