Day: 191

Well, it is officially 2011! Of course New Year's Eve brought eating too many chips and cheeses. Also, way too many beers. I gained a little bit of weight but what can you do? Nothing but work hard to lose it!

I haven't been feeling very motivated to exercise lately. I did walk yesterday to drop my rent off except our landlord was having a midday party so I just turned around without dropping it off. I was planning on walking back there today but it has been raining all day. I don't know what it is about the rain here that just puts me in a funk. I think it's that it reminds me of Washington and that makes me depressed more than the rain itself making me depressed. So I mean, I've done something everyday since last Monday but I still feel like I haven't worked out enough. I might do an exercise dvd today, I know I should. I just don't have all the motivation to do it. I found on netflix you can instantly watch exercise dvds! I'll definitely be trying a few of those. They have some dance ones, as well as core training.

Today I took the dreaded before pictures. Because I will have after pictures dammit! While I wasn't necessarily happy with what I saw, I wasn't horribly upset over it either. It could've been worse. I can see the areas I really want to target. Stomach, thighs, obliques and back. I like my backside better than my front side, haha. I've decided I'll take pictures at the beginning of each month to see if I can actually see any progress. Hopefully that'll be good motivation to keep going.

This week I'm going to really follow through with the new WW plan. My goal for the week is to track everything I eat. I'm very good at not tracking and eating more than I should. I really want to stick with it and see what happens at the scale Saturday at the meeting. There's a party I'm going to on Friday. I'm trying to figure out what my game plan is going to be for that. I might drive myself there so I can say I have to drive home and avoid drinking. I'll figure something out as it gets closer.

Have you ever been in a mood where you're hungry but nothing sounds good to eat? I've been like this for weeks now. It sucks and makes it a lot harder trying to plan out everything I'm going to eat for the week.
