RE COMMITTING

Hey Ya'll!

Here I am, typing away in my hotel room in Dirty Jersey.  Right across the highway from the beautiful Newark Airport.  YES, I travel in style to the most exciting places! 
I'm at a two day training at our Elizabeth NJ store, so far so good.  I've even made good choices with my food so far!  Last night I got in late and was starving, I ordered a salad with sliced apples and walnuts from the bistro in the lobby.  It was pretty lame, but I was happy I made the best choice possible.  I also brough a lot of snacks with me, granola bars, almonds, crackers...AND had fruit instead of a bagel for breakfast...first time ever!!  Dinner might be a bit of a challenge today, by the looks of it, Ruby Tuesday's is going to be the destination, yuck!!
The next two weeks are going to be a bit challenging for me.  My bootcamp is on hiatius for 2 weeks,, which means I'm on my own.  I've got to come up with a game plan on what to do with my fitness for the next few Monday's and Wednesday's.  I can't get caught in a slump!  On the bright side I can return to the Wednesday night WW meetings that I like the best.  However, I need to check out the Friday one and see if it's something I'd be into.  So far I hate the Saturday one, it's flippin lame!  I haven't been to a weigh in in 3 weeks.  THIS IS NOT OKAY.  I could bore everyone with the reasons why, but really, there is NO excuse.  I need to get back on the program 100%, no excuses.  I am recommiting to the meetings and weigh ins starting on Wednesday.  The good news is that all though i haven't been the best WW member of late, I have always kept mindful, not being perfect, but not falling off the deep end and eating an entire cake or pizza.  I haven't said "Fuck It" yet. 
After my first 4 weeks of bootcamp though, I got my mesurments done, and I lost 1 inch in my waist, 1 in my hips, and .5 in my arms...so I'm still playing the "slow and steady wins the race" role!  I am going to step it up though, because I want to have lost an additional 40lbs by the end of August.  This will be a challenge, but I am committed and ready to so this.  I will be one hot bitch!  The grand total will be 52 lbs, about 70% or so to my year end goal. 

I CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN. 
I WILL MAKE THIS HAPPEN. 
IT IS HAPPENING!!!!

My reflections on the last few months; I have found who I am, what I want, and what I really need to do to achieve it.  I have a clear goal, and it is something that I have complete control over.  My mind has control over my eating, not my emotions.

I might not blog tomorrow, depending on what time I get home.  But please know, that if I am not around for a day or two, I am always cheering for you, always keeping up with you, and carrying all of your amazing strength and support with me.  I love you all!!
