Ouch.

Man, I was SO discouraged this morning when I weighed myself. I started at 179.8, as you all know, and after this weekend with the family I'm at 181.2. I mean, I expected to be punished by the scale after my indulgence, but this is just ridiculous. 3 days of eating bad and it takes a whole week to undo. It's bullshit, but that's the way it goes.

On another note, my ass is so freaking sore from Zumba yesterday. It hurts to move. I mean, it's a good thing cause I'm trying to get that onion booty. You know, the kind that makes grown men cry? But ow. I did go to the gym today, and I'm tempted to go back tonight or run or something. I also think I'm gonna start doing the 6 small meals a day. That's what the Group Fitness Manager at the gym told me to do. Also, in the future I'm gonna write a book containing all the advice I've gotten over the years for losing weight. Some of it's helpful, but some just made me giggle. But I digress. I love to eat, so the 6 small meals a day thing will be good since it's so continuous. I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow, so I need to make a list of good-for-you food that I'll actually eat. I really need to cut back on the carbs. Not do away with them, but I need to limit myself. And the Coke Zeros. I drink like 6 a day, seriously. I'm going to start cutting back on that and start drinking water instead, like a good girl. Y'all have to keep me in check.

I heard one of the best pieces of advice I've ever heard today. It was from the Group Fitness Manager, and she said "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels." WOW. That's so true. She said to say that to yourself when you have cravings and want to binge or just if you want to eat something you shouldn't. I want a freaking t-shirt that says that. But then people would be like "how would you know?" and I'd have to punch someone in the mouth.

SO how are we doing? Anyone lost anything yet? Getting discouraged? Staying motivated? Tell me!
