Weight Loss Wednesdays No. 5

So I’ve decided to skip out on Nutrisystem from now on. Although it has helped me lose weight, it was like $300 a month PLUS I still had to buy my own fruits, veggies, and proteins. A half cup of tortellini and some spaghetti sauce ended up costing around $3.00 and then I came to the conclusion that I could probably buy a package of tortellini and spaghetti sauce at Trader Joe’s for about the same price. not sure why I didn’t think of this before. So I went out and grocery-shopped. I bought things that I like to eat, but will be pre-measuring and preparing them in containers about 5 days at a time. Same idea. MUCH cheaper. MUCH tastier.

With that said, I also have a little bit of a confession. I cheated this week and last week. Not just one time, but a few times. I felt so guilty every time. Yet I constantly kept justifying it to myself with the most ridiculous excuses. I mean, seriously? Why can’t I just stay on track and do what I’m supposed to do? You would think my 10 year high school reunion this November would motivate me, but it just hasn’t. Then November will roll around and I’ll be complaining the whole time about why I couldn’t lose the weight.

Here are my current stats:
START WEIGHT: 217
CURRENT WEIGHT: 212
LBS. LOST SO FAR: 5
GOAL WEIGHT: 145

There it is. The ugly truth. I gained a whopping 4 pounds in only two weeks.

Ugh…

I met you at Bekah and Michael's wedding (I was the large bridesmaid) and I, too, am on a journey to lose weight - much weight. If it will encourage you, check out my blog where I post the bare and sometimes harsh truth about what it takes to lose weight. Keep on working!
