Obsessive Much? 

After a week of working out and doing the 6 day express diet, I wanted to update you all on my current stats:

Weight:  180     -5 

Bust:  42 1/1     -1/2

Waist:  37 1/2   -1/2

Hips:  41 1/2     SAME

Arm (R):  12      SAME

Arm (L):  12      SAME

Thigh (R):  22   SAME

Thigh (L):  22    SAME

Overall I think I did pretty good on my first week. Obviously, a part of me wishes I could have lost a pound a day so I could have been 7 lbs. lighter, but what the hell right? I lost some weight so that’s good! 

My day went well. I got up before my alarm went off, drank my glass of water, did my cardio, then ate breakfast. I even convinced my sister to go grocery shopping with me after I watched ‘The Missing’ starring Cate Blanchet and Tommy Lee Jones- which was honestly pretty great! 

After the movie ended, I quickly ate my AM Snack then got ready to go run errands. I hadn’t anticipated it taking as long as it did, so I ended up missing my lunch and PM Snack. I’ll confess, I was a little frustrated with myself because it shouldn’t be so hard to keep a “simple” schedule, however it is somewhat the opposite I’m afraid. My sister and I rushed home around 5:45pm which allowed me to have a quick snack, shower, and get ready in time to meet with my friend for dinner. 

We met up at Pitfire Pizza and it was pretty good! I really enjoyed their grilled steak salad and LOVED their cucumber mint lemonade. I will say that for like a second I was tempted to order pizza and have a glass of wine but I was able to contain my inner cravings. However, my friend and I did have a conversation about how I shouldn’t be so hard on myself if I miss a snack or meal at a certain time. (I guess I was still stressing about what happened earlier) Though she did have a point in regards to this diet being a little unrealistic, especially when I go back to work. Even though I’m still very much motivated and committed, I shouldn’t beat myself up if I don’t wake up on time or have a meal when I’m suppose to. Or is this the discipline I truly need?

Unfortunately, I have a tendency to become a bit obsessive when it comes to losing weight so it makes sense that I’m second guessing myself at this point . So aside from the fact that I wanted to share my struggle and journey with anyone who would listen, THAT is why I started this blog. Sometimes I just need someone to shake/slap me to snap me out of the tunnel vision I tend to have when it comes to this. 

I want to lose weight but I don’t want to lose myself in the process. So if I ever sound a little crazy in my ramblings- please feel free to give me a virtual kick in the ass. =) 

Sometimes obsessive but yet lovable Lizzy
