Struggling

There is no weigh in this week. Sorry. I had some personal business I needed to take care of instead. I promise there will be a weigh in on Monday.

Here is the part of my journey where I struggle. Satan always seems to know how to break me but I am rising above that and taking back control. He takes my strengths and and gets them to work against me. Does that make any sense? I have had the crazyist past few weeks. The first couple of weeks didn't get to me too bad, I was extremely busy but still holding on. The past week really did me in. I spent a lot of time in and out of hospitals and doctors offices and if anyone has experieced what its like to live that life, well its not diet friendly. It's the life of fast food and vending machines. Soooo not diet friendly. We finally got passed all that by Thursday but I got sick and went through a mild depression over the weekend. Over what, I do not know. I think I was just tired.

So after sleeping the weekend away, I believe I have a renewed sense of I can do it. It's back to the gym today. I have an excellent opportunity to focus on myself this week. I have the rest of the week off and 6 days of nothing planned to enjoy the gym to its fullest. I have all the time in the world to focus on me. I just hope no one finds out that I have all that free time.

So this week for sure is another diet boot camp. And I'm stepping up the goal a bit. I think I probably have some weight to catch up on lossing. I'll step on the scale tonight or in the morning. I'll keep you posted throughout the week on my progress.

This weeks goals are as follows:
1. Lose 10 pounds (I know its big but I think I can do it)
2. Journal EVERYDAY
3. Make it to the gym at least once a day for the full amount of time that I need to be there
