The Switch

I have a switch.  The 'diet' switch.

When it's on, it's really ON.

But when it's off... it's 'OMGshe'seatingPillsburyproductsforeverymeal' off.  Results are disastrous.

Thankfully, for the past few weeks my switch has been kinda, sorta on.  The kinda sorta on that keeps pushing me to the gym and bypassing vendo land at work.

The stats (since October 3rd):

Pounds lost: 12

What I'm doing right:  I've worked really hard to increase my workouts at the gym.  It helps that peanut has an early bed time and that I can DVR all my favorite prime time shows for later viewing.  Because honestly, if it weren't for the DVR, we all know this wouldn't be happenin.  So- my goal is four days a week for at least an hour.  Last week I managed six days a week and still lived to tell about it. Go figure.

What I'm doing wrong:  Okay seriously people. Who can survive on only 1800 calories a day??!!  Food has always been my issue. I love it- love the taste, the textures, the amazingiest (yes, I said it) that is fast food. I am really working on this aspect though, hence the switch that is turned on.

My goals this week (since ya'll know turkey day is the day of reckoning for peeps like me):  Try really really really hard not to eat my weight in desserts.  Get to the gym four days for an hour- and yes, this is doable even though there is a holiday in there and don't let me use that as an excuse! 

Now, if only my switch had a dimmer.
