Monday Through Wednesday Dieting

I have a syndrome that I have dubbed, Monday through Wednesday Dieting. I start super strong on Monday and throughout the week, I start tapering. By the time Monday rolls around again, I reverse any progress that I've made. It's time to stop this cycle! Anyone have this experience? Any ideas about how to break it?

It has been a great week so far. Went back to an old favorite after getting some burnout from spinning, I've Zumba-ed the past two days. The best part of Zumba is definitely watching all of the professional Zumba-ers out there. You know who I'm talking about. The people who buy the clinky skirts....the people who pop it like they're getting paid for it. God love 'em. Can't hate 'em. They're working out, staying fit and loving it.

Every Damn Day.

Oh, The Sweet Life

Hello friends. I'm not sure why I always feel the need to start the post as if I just answered the phone. I hope you had a marvelous weekend. I did. Yesterday, my fella and I went to farmer's market and to a local orchard to get fruits and veggies. It was a beautiful, cool day which has been a nice change from Hades. Today was lovely as well, did not leave the bed before 1 p.m. except to sneak homemade banana bread. This evening, I met a friend for a beverage at Mellow Mushroom and we shot the breeze for like 2 hours. Don't you love those kind of friends. Marvelous.

I'm getting ready to start my new fresh start. If you haven't gathered, I have one about every couple of weeks or so. I understand that a lot of my posts end up emotional or dramatic because that's what the weight loss journey has been for me. I'm so driven and determined in every other part of my life. I have a really nice life. I'm not sure why I can't wrap my head around this, why it overwelms and makes me feel so weak and worthless. I'm actually rather perky and usually pretty entertaining. One day, maybe when I get a reader, you will get to see this.

Last week was my first week of summer. Monday was incredible. Worked out at the gym, stayed on calories track, jogged a little that night. Tuesday was on plan, went to spinning, ate fine until................ate dinner with some teacher friends (already planned) and just blew it. Wednesday, fine. Thursday, bllleeewww ittt. Friday, bleeewww it. And since I was on a kick, continued to bllloowww it.

If it is so meaningful to me, why haven't I been able to do it? I was thumbing through a little notebook I used to keep and I've been able to maintain like a 15-20 lb weight loss. I'm dissapointed that it hasn't been more BUT that is still something. I will say and write it down that I would like to lose 60 lbs by Christmas. That's 6 months. I truly know that I CAN do this. I've done it before. I just need to create the habit.
