I decided that I needed a pizza today. Small, but still over the caloric limit that I would want for one meal. In the big picture, it is really no big deal, but for my small goals of losing weight consistently, this could reek havoc.
I am supposed to be at 220 on the morning of July 1st. I currently stand at 223.6. I will need to put in some extra effort and watch calories over the next couple of days. I will still eat, as I don't want to slow down my metabolism. However, I will need to choose low caloric foods that will still satiate me...fiber!
I will also stay extra active today and for the rest of the week. I will see tomorrow if this hiccup cost me a day of calories or just slowed me down.
If I was maintaining or had general weightloss goals, this may not matter. But I made a commitment and I want to stand by it, for myself, my kids, my students, my clients, and myself (ya I know). It is important to me. Too many non-specific goals have come and gone. This time I put my foot down and told everyone that I was going to lose 10 pounds per month. I want to be accountable, that leads to success. Allowing myself an out, leads to the same place I have been. I want more. I deserve more, don't you.
