Post Turkey Day

Today was my weigh-in day: 180 lbs. This wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't gotten down to 175. But I was at that weight for about a month, because I wasn't working out and was pretty much eating what I wanted to. So to see the scale go back up to 180 didn't really surprise me, even though it hurt. I did so well over the summer; thats when I had the most consistent weight loss. But now, it's like I can't get back in the groove. My boyfriend doesn't hold me accountable anymore and I'm not holding myself accountable either. I've also noticed that if I start using points on Wednesday, they tend to add up much faster. Also, I've become lazy in terms of cooking and re-heating food (which has also added up to more money spent on food). The fresh produce in Jersey sucks (another excuse) so I haven't had as much around the house as a snack. So what's the plan to get back on track? I'm thinking on it. I wanted to be down to 170 by Thanksgiving. Ahem. Right. I told myself that I wanted to be 170 for Christmas. Is it possible to lose 10lbs in three weeks? Probably so, but the healthiness of such a move is questionable. So I'm going to aim for my 30 lb mark: 174.6 (or 174 for good measure). I really would like to hit my goal my birthday in mid-March. Of around 155-160. So the goals for this week are:

1) Use no points on Wednesday
2) Drink more water
3) Buy foods I can eat and save
4) Work out 4 out of 7 days
5) Cook! Order/ eat out for as few meals as possible even it means buying a can of fruit or something to keep me from getting a sandwich from Subway (save money and today's Wednesday).

I would like to lose 2 lbs by next Wednesday. I'm going to DC this weekend but since my bf and I are both broke, we shouldn't be eating out like that. It just means I need to pack healthy snacks b/c we tend to want to eat while we're laying around and the next thing you know, we're eating Chinese food or something. Sigh. Hopefully, our state of brokeness will keep us from buying things like chocolate chip cookies and wine. FOCUS. That's what I'm aiming for.
