Nike was onto something...

After that last post, I got so disgusted with myself... something in my mind just clicked. I guess you reach a low point and ultimately make a decision: I'm going to do it. Just do it. That's all there is to it. How quickly you see results is going to be a result of how hard you push yourself: how much you exercise and how much you eat.

Since that last post I've been doing really well. Steve and I made some rules that seem to be working. Among other things, they include: No soda, at least one side of fruit AND veggies a day, no bread, and only including meat in one meal per day. We've gotten pretty creative with what we've been eating, tried some new things, and overall, we both feel a lot better. I've lost 4 1/2 pounds (down 11 1/2 from disaster weight) and finally feel like I'm making progress. Yay.

So I'm going to keep going with this plan. See where it takes me. If I start to get stagnant again, I'm going to have to switch it up and try something a little more intense. But for now... party on. OBX in 26 days.

Week... what?

I don't even know. I obviously stopped keeping track. Just as I stopped working out. The last time I weighed in I was essentially where I was before -- about 7.5 lbs down from disaster weight. I just looked back at pictures from when I was 13 pounds lighter than I am now. It made me depressed. When does this song and dance stop?
