Repetitious Repetitious...

said the New York Times. I sound like a broken record. Some weeks are good, other's aren't and now my weight is back up to 17 pounds. I am obviously doing something wrong. This week it was a) eating out too much, b) only working out 4 hours and c) not writing down everything I am eating and therefore eating like crap and doing so mindlessly! So all that is going to stop. Do you realize that I have weighed this same amount since the beginning of May. I was right when I said it was too hard to lose weight during the summer. But let's face facts: Summer is over. I'm only down a half-a-pound in my challenge with my mother. She is down 2 pounds. I am losing! I must work harder. I am going to go back to writing in a food journal (my online subscription has expired, so I will go back to the paper method).

These are my goals for this week:
1. Get 8 hours of sleep each night (turn off the Olympics).
2. Drink 8 glasses of water each day.
3. Only eat out 4 times (hey, I am trying to use the dining card).
4. Begin my 8 week running plan, which I will discuss in more detail later.
5. Write down everything I eat, and remain under 1300 calories per day.
