June Goals

It’s a brand new month! I love new months because for me it’s like a mini-fresh start. And I really need it.

  • Cut back on sugar. I really mean it this time. This is killing me.
  • Cut back on carbs. I’ve noticed I’ve been going a bit overboard on carbs lately. For snacks I need to get back to eating fruits/veggies instead of chips and dip (even if it is something healthy-ish like pita chips and hummus, it’s still a lot of carbs).
  • Weigh myself once a week. Sadly, I’ve gotten into the habit of weighing in daily, sometimes twice a day. I need to stop this, as it’s starting to mess with my head. So after I weigh myself on Mondays, I’m going to put the scale away instead of leaving it out.
  • Exercise more. Really slipped up these past few weeks. Haven’t done YAYOG in ages, but now that I’m used to my new schedule I can and will start up again.
  • Take my lunch more. Again, been slipping up with this. A lot of it has to do with the fact that I hate handwashing my bento, but also because most of the meals we’ve been making lately have no leftovers.

I’m over my slump that I’ve been in the past few weeks and it’s time to go back to full speed.

May Goals, The Results

Another month, another set of results!

  • Try three new foods. I think I only tried flaxseed and chia seeds. Don’t think I tried anything else.
  • Hit my 10% goal. I got really close, 0.3 pounds away, but no cigar. Oh well.
  • Cut back on sugar. Hahahahahaha. No.
  • Work out more. Um, sort of? Haven’t really been keeping track of this…

Pretty lackluster, but I haven’t had a whole lot of motivation lately, so that never helps. But whatever. Tomorrow is a new month.

You’re in the suckhole. It’s okay. It’s okay to get upset with yourself, just use that as a stepping stone to get better!
Why mad?? It’s okay to be mad at yourself… Just turn it into something good & constructive and don’t beat yourself up!

Thanks for the support and comments. It’s just been a stressful week for me. Getting used to how things are done and where everything is in the new store is aggravating. I know where all the product is (worked there for 3 years!), but all of the paperwork and stuff is in completely different places from the other store. Not to mention the store is having its annual inventory in less than a month.

Having to work eight days straight really isn’t helping either, and having to deal with a commute that’s twice as long and with twice the traffic is hell. Also, since it’s retail, the customers are driving me nuts as well.

And so all this stuff is wreaking havoc on my eating choices. The stuff I posted on Monday… Well, I was doing fine until yesterday at lunchtime, then it just went downhill from there.

And I’m not so much mad at myself, I’m more frustrated/annoyed with everything that’s going on right now. Poor choice of words in my original post. This morning I was actually feeling a little better, but now I feel like I’m going to snap something in half because I’m so stressed/irritable. And I haven’t felt this stressed since around Christmas.

But on the bright side, tomorrow is my last day of my eight day stretch, and I’m off for three days in a row! And tomorrow is a brand new month, and that always helps for me.

This is automatically what I see now since starting Weight Watchers. It’s not so much WW that did it, as all of their products would be labeled as this, but more from all my fellow Tumblrs. And really, this is better for me, because I’d rather have a little bit of the good stuff than a ton of the low-fat/fat-free stuff and then feel like crap afterwards because of all the chemicals and junk.

Although, I would rather take low-fat/fat-free over sugar-free any day.

I’m really mad at myself right now.

PLUS my stupid foot still hurts.

I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me.

Notes: Kind of a weird day. I was all screwed up since I had to be at work at 4 am. I had the first two things on my list for breakfast at about 3 am (I’m always hungry when I get up, not just thirsty), then I was hungry at about 7 am so I had the granola mix, then I had the mandarin at 9 am, and then lunch at 11. Then the popcorn at about 4 pm. Also, those 100 calorie packs of guacamole? Only 2 points! And it’s the PERFECT serving size.
