Birthday week has thoroughly ruined my running and dieting. Isn’t that what it’s supposed to do?!
We have a system. Call it what you will – OCD, controlling, anal – but it works and we have lost weight from it and are maintaining it, and still are able to eat what we want.
If I eat under or just on 1,500 calories, then I get a check mark for that day (Jock has 2,300 calories). If I go above that, I get a big fat X on that day. Jock and I do this everyday, and have done for the last 16 weeks. We average about one or two X’s a week. Looking back over the last month – well, let’s just say there is a lot of red and a lot of X’s.
Luckily, the measurements happened last week, and I have only gained one pound and have actually lost half an inch from my waist – how? I have no idea.
Received package of Berger Cookies complete with ingredients for a Lemon Jello Cake from my mom today! So bad, but sooooo good. Lemon Jello Cake is my absolute favorite and I will post pictures once I bake it.
149 pages of book done!
