Day 67-77 - Complete and Utter Failure (BUT I'M BACK!)

Weigh In - 227.4 (-0.8 from yesterday) and total down 20.9 pounds.

So I wanted to check back in with everyone to apologize for not being on top of things the past 11 days.  I fell off the wagon, completely.  There were moments where I sort of acted like I was trying, but for the most part, I didn't really try.  There were good meals in there, but that was really just because either Kristyn cooked them or because I happen to like cooking now once in a while.

So I'm not going to try to explain to you how I did well "for me"  or "Considering what I usually eat" because I really didn't try that hard at all.

I gained back about 5 pounds or so.  Not the end of the world, considering I'll be able to drop that back off in a few days and then some more, but I'm frustrated because I have not made positive progress in the past 11 days.

I am getting back on track immediately.  I made eggs with turkey sausage for breakfast with Trop 50 and just finished it.  I have some portion-controllable stuff for lunch and I'm cooking dinner tonight, so we should be all good to get back on.

I fell back onto the Dunkin/Red Bull train a little bit.  Not a ton, but enough that it's not a good thing.  With work starting tomorrow, I have to watch myself that I don't fall into the trap.

I've fallen back into the 7-11 trap at night on the way home from band camp.  I was "rewarding"myself for a good and long day at work.  Bad Habit!!!

I slipped back into having 2 bad topping pizza slices and lots of diet soda instead of water.

I've also binged on some snacks and eaten later at night.

So this is a small list of my weaknesses and what I failed at the past 11 days.  I'm not being hard on myself, but I do know that the first 66 days are going to be a complete waste if I slip back into the old habits.  I'm on a mission and a month from now, I will have forgotten about this rough patch, but I am not going to ignore it and skip it in my blog.  They count as part of my diet because it's part of a much bigger picture.  Not a temporary thing.  I don't need to "Start over" or restart at day 67.  These were real days on the journey and I can just hope that I am tough enough to get the next 66 days to be as solid as the first 66.  Wish me luck!  I'M BACK!!!!!
