I went back to Minnesota for two weeks over Christmas and New Years and did good eating healthy at most meals, but why are there so many snacks! I had way too much sweets, snack foods, and alcohol, I fell of the wagon hard. I am a strong willed person though and snapped right back into VSG mode as soon as I got home Tuesday afternoon. I will say that I still used Portion Control and kept semi track of calories in my head and I did lose 5 lbs since leaving 2 weeks ago.
Now for the fun part! All my family and friends were blown away by my success and everyone was so proud of me! We went out dancing at some of the country bars and I brought my newly learned Texas two step skills and a lot of people wanted to dance with me. I never could get attention at bars before. My favorite part was when the band played Copper Head Road and 4 great looking girls started doing the line dance and while all the guys stood around watching them my new confidence had me right in between them rocking out (Thanks Texas for teaching me to dance lol)
The point of my message... Were all human, we make mistakes. I have worked very hard to get where I am today and for two weeks I let lose again and embrace my new self. It proved to me that all the hard work I have done is paying off. We just need to be strong enough to know when enough is enough and get back on plan.
I missed my goal of 100lbs by NYE because of the decisions I made, but the smile on my face and the happiness in my heart meant so much more than any number on a scale could ever mean!

A roll is usually 6-8 pieces no worries!

At week 5 I was instructed to hit 100g of carbs per day and 1000 calories. I never come close to that and I'm 8 weeks out! I eat 5 or so multi grain crackers per day or a Soup with rice. I have yet to try bread or Pasta.
Yesterday was the first day I hit my nut's goals but I was disappointed in the way I did it. I ate 15 crackers, turkey lunch meat, beef Jerky, 4 cheese sticks, and chicken with rice Soup. Got all my fluids in, didn't go to the gym last night, and I'm 1.5 lbs lighter then yesterday morning!?! Yesterday was the first day in 3 months I went a bit crazy.
Here's what MFP looked like for it. (Does not include vitamins)

I'm not part of the FB group. And I had college buddies in town that weekend so I guess that makes me feel better! I couldn't have made it anyway. When's the pool party our sexy new selves!

Keep it simple but tell the truth. Your not happy with where your relationship/life is and you need to change it so you can be happy.

Might be kind of fun to see what others are striving for in 2013 (assuming we make it past this Friday ) lol
1.) I want to be 100lbs lighter starting the New Year, which means I have 12# to drop in exactly 2 weeks! Lofty, but it's what I want!
2.) Do a 5k every month, and towards the end of the year do a sprint-triathlon
3.) Build my muscles back
4.) Hit my goal weight
5.) Never look back on the unhealthy habits I developed!!!!
6.) The BIGGEST one of all... I want to learn how to two-step!!! It looks like fun, and it's all they do at bars in Fort Worth! haha

I refuse to go to the gym in the morning haha! I can barely drag myself out of bed for work let alone a workout! What I do is bring my gym bag with me to work everyday and I go straight after work. If I go home I wouldn't be able to get the motivation to go!
