Today is the second weigh in for March.  I was hoping to see the same kinds of results as I did last week, but no such luck.  I went up 0.2 lbs rather than losing weight.  I suck.

This week I performed poorly.  I set weight loss goals that help to keep me on track for the week and I was only able to meet one of them.  They are as follows:

1. Lose 3 lbs (fail)

2. Drink 8 glasses of 8oz a day (fail, or at least I had to say fail because I didn't keep track of all my water)

3. Exercise every day that is marked on my calender (fail, although I did all my exercises just not on the assigned days)

4. Keep track of all my food points (fail)

5. Measure everything (fail)

6. Alcohol is only allowed 2 times a week (pass, although I drank way too much on St. Patty's day)

7. Only weigh in on Friday to keep from getting discouraged (fail, I can't seem to only weigh in once a week because I want to know every time I see my scale)

St. Patrick's day was a major fail for me and I think that is what caused my weigh loss to tank this week.  I had a friend over and we drank and eventually I just started eating things that I knew I shouldn't have been.  I added an extra 30 min of exercise to try and make up for the extra calories but it didn't seem to help.  I am really disappointed in myself.  I wish that I would have made better choices this week. 

I am really going to have to step it up in Week 3 so that I can get back on track.  I would really like to see a weight that starts with a 13 rather than a 14. 

Next week is going to be tricky as far as eating right and making sure that I get my exercise in.  I will be gone for 2 days due to a job interview.  I will be going down to Candor, NC to see if I will be the right fit for the youth counselor position at a outdoor therapeutic center for troubled youth.  I think that I should be able to make the right food choices, but I don't know if I will be able to determine the exact points because I will not be making the food myself.  I will also be unable to exercise according to my exercise plan because I will be working with the other youth counselors in order to understand what I will be doing if I choose to accept the job and the job is a 24/7 position.  I think that I will just move the days around so that I can still get all the workouts completed (they just won't be completed on the days marked on my calender). 

I will do this and I will see at least a 3 lbs lost...This is my promise to myself.
