Are You READY?!

I am SO ready!! I've managed to "fall of the wagon" again. Why this always happens when I go to my folks place I don't know. It's not their fault, it's mine. I have no reason to eat the things I do when I go there, yet every time I go I do. I have no excuses for it - I put on 4 lbs in 2 weeks! Do you know how much food it takes to put on weight?! That is unacceptable. I've accomplished so much to just throw it all away for ice cream and cookies and snacks and all the other junk I've told myself it was okay to eat lately.
Today I'm turning it around, yet again. I think the important thing to remember is that while I did bad for awhile, I'm smart enough to stop myself from letting it spiral any further. One of these days it's going to sink in that a few days of bad food choices is not worth the stress it causes. Nothing tastes as good as the feeling I get every time I put on my size 10 jeans. I'm not sure I can put it into words - I LOVE putting on my new clothes. I feel so good and confident! I need to remember that feeling whenever I start thinking of eating the crap. I don't even like most of the crap I've been eating lately. It's just been there, so I've been eating it, and that's just the worst way to eat.
This is one of my favorite "posters" I've found with regards to eating bad.

I've yet to have just one bad day though, mine always seem to string them selves together. But, it's okay if I have a few bad days, as long as the next 10 or so are good. I had my last Costco muffin today - Oh my! I ate a whole one the other day and then found out it's got 700 calories in it!!!!!! Today I had half for breakfast. I spent money on them, so I'm not going to throw them away. I froze almost all of them. They can be a treat every now and then. Everything else today has been good. Honestly, I feel better when I eat right. I have more energy on my runs too.
I've gotten away from blogging again and I always stumble when that happens. I miss writing about the things I'm doing. I've just been too lazy to take the time to do it, but now I'm going to make the effort. We are half way into October, I need to find my blog on October goals, re-read it, and focus on getting them accomplished before the month is over!
