Week Fifteen, Day Two

Today I started out with the best of intentions. I said to myself I will not go past any stores that sell doughnuts while I go to work, so I can't buy one. I come into work to find a bunch of yummy looking doughnuts in the lounge. I gave into temptation figuring that at least I'm mowing the yard when I get home and it will help to burn the calories. I tried to have a positive attitude today, but the students were very talkative and not the best behaved today. By the end of the day I just wanted to hit my head on the wall. I know we all have "those" days. I'm just trying to put it behind me and be motivated to do better tomorrow. I still have five days left to the next weigh in. I can lose weight by then if I refocus myself now. No more giving in so easily without a fight.

Since I gained back a tiny bit of weight, I will not allow myself to put my car magnet on until I reach exactly 25 pounds lost again. I'm thinking I might also need a small reward for six pounds lost into my ten pound goal. I did really get into this video game called Singstar, so maybe a used copy from amazon. I think it was only $6 or $7 for one. I'll think more on this one, but it might work as a motivator. It would be nice to say I reached 190 by the end of the month. It is still possible if I get refocused. I guess that is the word of the day. Refocus on my ten pounds lost goal. Refocus on what motivates me from my motivation list.

These are the toppings for my sandwich.

I packed the bread and meat separately from the toppings in this container (that is actually for salads) so it wouldn't get soggy.
