Back to Serious

For the first 5 months of the year I was pretty serious and diligent in watching my sugar intake as well as my bread and carb intake.  I have lost roughly 20 pounds. In the last few weeks I have not been as diligent and though I had only gained back a few of those 20 pounds I am trending in the wrong direction.  It has been slow as I have not completely fallen off the wagon and I have been pretty good about getting in a few miles of walking most days.  My goal is much lower than where I am at and so I need to reverse my current trend and get back moving towards my goal weight.  Sometimes it is hard because I just want to enjoy things like bread, cake and ice-cream.  I love me some sugar but my body doesn't. And so I need to get back to being serious. I need to stay focused and not allow myself to be weak in the discipline arena.  For the first few months I would do really well during the week and then allow myself to have a little treat on Sundays.  That seems to work well as I give myself that reward and it makes the rest of the week easier.  Well, I am trying to climb back up in the saddle and getting myself geared up to strictly control what it is that I choose to eat.  So much fun.
