Broad Confessions....

Hello......Hello......Anybody there?

Can't say I really expected you to be, it's been a month since my last post. What can I say? I'm not a daily update kinda girl. Anyway, I thought it was about time to bring you all up to speed on my current weight-loss progress, well more like lack of... So, here you go. My confessions for the past month.

1. I'm currently back up to my weight b/4 the holidays. At my lightest, I've weighed 163. Tonight I weighed in at 171. Ever since the holidays I've had a hard time getting back on the weight-loss track.

2. I've been eating REALLY badly. I'm talking taco bell, pizza hut, Ruby Tuesday's badly. Lots of salty, fatty foods.... which leads me to think that a good portion of my weight gain is water weight.

3. I've been avoiding exercise. Avoiding like the plague. After the first two days of the shred, I really didn't want to exercise anymore. Then, the show I exercise to, Glee (the best workout show EVER) went on winter hiatus and won't be back till April. I lost my motivation. That is until I saw the scale creep back up. I started my exercise back up yesterday. I'm sore tonight, but totally worth it.

4. I've quit taking phentermine and I can tell it's out of my system... I still have a few pills left, but I am trying to make it to my goal without them. I need to be able to maintain my weight-loss w/out pharmaceuticals.

5. I'm an emotional eater w/little will power. My will power has increased slightly since my weight-loss began, but I still catch myself eating when I get stressed.

6. Over Christmas, and New Year's, I discovered the awesomness of blended coffee drinks. THIS IS A BAD THING. I do not like coffee, but I LOVE blended coffee drinks. Problem here, one mocha java chiller from Sonic is 538 calories! That's a MEAL! Except, i drink it WITH A MEAL. not good, not good... but they're sooooo tasty!

Well, there you have it, my confessions for the month. I've officially hit a snag in my regime. Yet, yesterday I started to correct myself. I'm trying to be more aware of my food again and I've begun to exercise daily. I'm working to be at my goal by my birthday in mid April. That's a very reasonable goal. It's 20lbs in 3ish months. Hopefully, by this summer, I can actually wear a swim suit that is cute and i'm not ashamed of.

I'll try to keep you updated. If not, I'm sure I'll post in another month ;o)
