Day 72... 3 day detour

How to start today's post? Somedays I find that the hardest part of blogging everyday if figuring out what to say first. I feel like I am very repetitive most days. There is only just so much I can say and so many ways to say it about this journey. I just hope I don't bore people. :)

Today I had a really good workout... I did 10 minutes on the elliptical machine on... you guessed it level 18. Then I did some strength training. I worked my chest, back, shoulders and arms... I did 2 sets of 12 for each exercise... it felt pretty good. Then I did 3 sets of planks for as long as I could go. Followed by 50 minutes on the treadmill set like normal to random, level 4, speed 3.7. Tomorrow will be more of the same thing... elliptical, strength training, treadmill.

Yesterday I totally blew my diet... Jimmie Johns, jolly ranchers, reese's pieces and saltine crackers... pretty bad. I did get in my gallon and a half of water though so that was good. However, I paid for it when I weighed myself today... once again I was up. :( Today I've been better on my diet... a hard boiled egg and an apple. The only thing that I'm not doing good on is my water intake... I haven't even reached a gallon yet. Better start chugging! No idea what I'll do for dinner probably chicken, rice and some kind of veggie.

So it was recommended to me today that I should look at thrift and consignment stores for my jeans and clothes while I'm losing weight. Fantastic idea Crystal... I'm so stealing it!!!! I will have to do that... just hope I can find a consignment store that carries my size... haven't had much luck in the past.

I feel like I've been on a 3 day detour and am having a hard time getting back on track... I'll do good in one area but terrible in others one day then the opposite the next. I really need to get back on track for doing good in every area. Hopefully today will be that day... I won't be able to even come close to my goal of 190 by the first if I don't get back on track. I'm already thinking I won't be able to make it... that will be the first goal that I haven't been able to accomplish. I won't let it get me down though... just have to reset the goal and keep going. Thanks to everyone that is sticking by me during this detour.

Let the lbs melt!!!
