Today, I got on the scale and instead of it giving me my weight, it just shouted at me:
"WOULD ONE OF YOU PLEASE GET OFF?!?!?!?!?!?!"
After a very significant weight loss of 22 pounds in the first few months of the year, I have slowly regained my old form and slipped back into uncontrolled eating habits. In this time, I have gained back 8lbs and I can not let it go any further.
There are a few key components that I have slacked on and will be looking to get fixed up.
- I have slipped back into my old morning routine of 1 donut, 1 buttered bagel and a red bull for breakfast. So I will be putting myself on a 1 month complete ban from Dunkin Donuts in an attempt to re-program my brain. After 1 month, school will be over. When I'm not in school, I don't really go to DD because its not conveniently on the way to work when I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Therefore, I will probably end up having DD 1-2 times a week over the summer, which is acceptable.
- My between-meal 7-11 runs have snuck back into my life. This is bad because it is like adding a meal that I do not need. Its almost a 4th meal in a day, which is silly unless I'm having 5-6 light meals, but that's not what I'm doing. Soooo, I will also put myself on a 1 month ban from 7-11 in an effort to, again, re-program my brain that I don't just automatically need to stop there every other day.
- Fast Food - I went all of last year without going to any of the major fast food chains - McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, etc. New Year's brought me back, but I still only went 1 time in January. Each month, I have had a little more, and a little more, and now, i kind of just get it at will, whenever I feel like it again. This is bad. The 1 month ban will include all major fast food chains.
- Late night food - I have actually been really good with this. I have not been going out for late night food, so I can't complain about this. I don't need an official ban on this, but I will be trying not to do it.
- Exercise - I had gotten into good shape with preparing for the 5k at Bear Mountain, but with the busy schedule of school in May, I have not done ANY running since then. I need to get back on track with that. I have an unofficial goal of doing a road 10k at the end of the summer if possible, so if that's going to happen, I need to work!
