Day 16

Well all my wonderful girls were right. I needed a day off to recoup, reflect, and sleep. I still felt a little weak and dizzy this morning but I managed to make it to the gym. I kicked ass at kickboxing. I even got a shout out from the instructor. I'm feeling ten times better than I felt yesterday. I'm really proud of myself because I indulged in some of my favorite foods yesterday but I tracked it all. I usually have at least two NY slices of pizza, sometimes three, but I only had one with a large salad. I also had some of my favorite European chocolate cookies, only two. I spent 57 points yesterday but I feel fine about it. I still have my activity points and some weekly points too. I was so worried to indulge because my old habits were to just toss the whole meal out as not counting. I probably wouldn't have tracked a night like that because I would’ve thought, what's the point. I would’ve pretended it never happened.

So this early in the year and I'm accomplishing so much. My main goals are behavior changes. Of course I want to lose weight but more importantly, I want to understand myself better. I want to be less moody with the people I love the most, and I want to walk through fear over and over again.... One more I want...I want to love myself UNCONDITIONALLY!

My goals for tomorrow are to continue to track and to go to a body conditioning class. I also want to go to mass during the day since I’m off.

GOOOO BEARS!!!!!!!

  1. I always believe in cheating at least one day a week. My problem is, I take to extreme and cheat all weekend long. You're amazing!

  4. Your post made me cry, I know, what a baby!! But I truly relate to you, about pretending the fuck ups never happend, story of my life, and then I'd have the balls to get all pissed off that my diet didn't work?! I am so thankful to be a part of a group with women I can honestly relate to!!! You're going to have another great day tomorrow! xoxo

  5. Awesome job Tareka! You know I had the very same thought a few days ago when I went over my points... I almost didn't track them either. Then I thought what would be the point of that? The whole " if a tree falls in the forest" theory doesnt work for dieting! You're doing great!!!

  6. Thank you so much Ladies! April, this community we have built means the world to me too. I was telling my dad this morning that it feels amazing that I'm actually doing something I've always wanted to do. And the support you all give fills my heart! xoxo
