one year later...
a funny thing happened today...
i was looking back through my outlook calendar to find some due dates, and i found where i used to track my weight...i used to stick it in my calendar to track my progress. i looked at today's date 1 year ago - January 20, 2006 - and guess what..my weigh in on that day was EXACTLY THE SAME as today. THAT was a wakeup call. Not that when I think about myself a year ago I think I am any different size than I am now but...I don't know...I like to think that I have lost SOME weight or at least developed some better muscle tone or something (which I probably have). I guess it's more like my life has changed so much since then that I expected my weight to change too. This year I don't want the same thing to happen - I want to reach my goal in August and look great at the wedding I am in....
What is going to have to change between now and then? Accountability for what I eat, no binge eating, and making VERY smart choices when I am out to eat (because I eat the majority of my meals out!!) I can do it, I just need to remember that I need to actually change my behavior to see change!!
