Extreme Makeover- Me Edition


Here it is time for Extreme Makeover-Me Edition!! Thanks so much Amber, love that we can have this support! To join in, and have some awesome friends go visit Amber and link up. Also, grab her new button!

This week has been....not so good! After being quite strict for 12 weeks, I let go a little. Shame on me! I had a spicy chicken sandwich yesterday from McDonalds...love those(thanks Xazmin!) I've had some pizza, chips, and some of the best, and my most favorite Easter candy...Reese's eggs. Not all in one day mind you, but over the last five days or so.

Now to get back on track!!!!

In those first 12 weeks I lost an amazing(at least to me)...34 pounds!!!

I'm certainly not going to stop, but I have had a bit of a weakness the past few days, and although I'm only up 1 pound, I feel bad! I try to be positive, but sometimes it's so easy to get down on myself! This weight loss stuff can be sooo frustrating, and hard, especially when your hubby has slimmed down without trying. Then everyone comments on his success, and asks what he's been doing, he says "I haven't been doing anything." But ME on the other hand have been eating 1200 or less calories(a day) for 12 weeks!!!! ARGGG! I love the words Amber has on the top of her post. I need to print them up and put them somewhere I can read everyday! Just for that extra motivational help I need. That was a downer...sorry!:-)

This weeks question....

How are you keeping track of your achievements. How do you reward yourself when you acheive a goal?

I keep a diet journal. I record my weight, the calories I ate the day before, (I don't write down what I eat, I just keep track of the calories), and my feelings, whether I'm frustrated, proud, down, or excited. I like to read back through it!
As far as a reward....new cute clothes, and shoes,,,soon I hope!:-)
Hope everyone has a healthy week! I'll do better I promise! Thanks for your support, I love it!
