I've fallen and I can't get up.

I was doing so well. I mean, SO well.

Today was my one month anniversary of this year's bout of Weight Watchers. And what did I do to celebrate? I stuffed my face so full of Thin Mints I honestly contemplated throwing up. It was that horrible.

So far I have lost 8.6 pounds. Not too shabby considering I only LOST weight two out of the four weeks. The second week I had bronchitis and started my period (WENDY'S was involved somewhere) and this week I was forced out of town a couple nights in a row, causing me to make bad food decisions and basically eat what anyone handed me.

On the upside, I didn't actually GAIN weight this week, I just didn't lose any. Now this week I will be making up for tonight the next six days.

Good incentives: I bought one of the new iPod mini shuffles and filled it with nothing but good, upbeat running songs. I hope to break the thirty minute barrier tomorrow. (I also stopped by DICK'S tonight and bought about $250 worth of workout gear, including but not limited to Pilates pants, running pants, an Adidas duffle bag and a water wicking hat that is lightweight for summer (not to mention my new, well-fitted sports bra that I am IN LOVE with).

The goals here are to get in shape for rock climbing season at the Red River Gorge (April) and to lost somewhere close to 60 pounds before I move away to go to grad school in August. Looks like I have my work cut out for me.

I cannot even imagine how bloated I will feel tomorrow and dread putting on my just washed work jeans, which will undoubtedly be snug after my ridiculous carbo binge. (I also had two glasses of wine and a dinner roll! I suck.)

So that is my introduction to the world of weight loss blogging.

Hello everyone, it's good to be here.

Thanks for delurking on my blog and saying hi. Your comments were so sweet!

An iPod of any variety will totally change the way you workout. Mine is about three years old so it's the huge bulky white kind with a non-color screen but I still don't know what I would do without it. And as for the stumbling try not to beat yourself up about it. You're still motivated to keep going so try again! You can do it!

8.6 pounds in a month is awesome! You should be very proud of that and know that those evil Girl Scouts have lots of friends all over the country and its next to impossible to avoid them. Sorry they took you down with them, get back up, dust yourself off and start all over again tomorrow, its a new day!

Hang in there, you can do it!
