I need to get back on the wagon

I need to get back on the wagon. I need to get into the ZONE. I have the best intentions and the best laid plans but I am constantly sabotaging myself. 

I need to make smart choices when I go out to eat or I need to not go out to eat. 

I need to cut out or cut down the drinking to one day. 

I need to stop lying to myself about how good I am doing when I am cheating myself.

My workouts are good. I've increased in weight and I'm pushing myself. 

On Monday, I did lunges with 60 lbs (2 x 30 lb weights) and I'm still sore. 

Then I went out yesterday and had ice cream and beer and tater tots. It wouldn't be so bad if that was once in a while but I blow all my hard work on the weekends. 

I need to train my brain, tap back into eating only every 3 hours. Eating lean foods, Measuring my foods. Counting all my foods. I've been working out for 3 months and each time I see progress I burn it all out.

Decide. Commit. Succeed. 

I believe in myself. I can do this.

Eat every 3 hours only.

Only eat planned foods.

If I go out to eat, I will make smart choices. Lean healthy foods. I will only eat half. I will sit on my hands if I need to.

I will only have 4 alcoholic beverages a week if any.

No eating at least 3 hours before bedtime (that's 8pm folks).

At work when I am done eating, I will move away from the table. I will sit outside, I will go on the computer, I will read outside. 

At work, I will only go in the staff room to drink water. 

I will make a list of non food related activities to enjoy with my husband, family and friends. 

I will quit bad food like I quit smoking. 

I am strong. I will do this. 

One day at a time. 

I'm going to aim for between 1500 - 1750 calories a day. 

I know I've typed this all before, but I'm freaking serious this time. 

The only way to break this 5 lb cycle is to commit and conquer. 

I will overcome food. 

I am strong.

i think having goals is really good, but i also think so is enjoying life!  sometimes we work out so we can enjoy ourselves and not have to worry about health issues.  maybe that's a goal to consider?
