Friday Weigh In--Eli

Well, maybe I celebrated last week's success a little too much. This week was not a good weigh in. I gained two pounds. Now, part of that could be water retention among other things, but I think I did it to myself. I drank this week--I had a few glasses of wine and a few beers--and I ate out several times and while some of the times I thought I was making healthy choices, I was probably off. For example, one night I had tomato soup with cheese on top. I thought this was an excellent choice. Turns out it was 600+ calories. Well that combined with dinner was not very good. I also did not get the amount of water I know I needed each day. I think I thought I was coasting along and just slacked off and the weigh in proves that. I am disappointed in myself, but this is a new week!

Today I am going BACK to the gym. I canceled my membership last year since I never used it. Well, I emailed the customer service team over at XSport Fitness (they are exemplary) and they said I could reactivate my membership without paying enrollment fees. I was chatting with one of my close friends and I said, wouldn't it be amazing if I could have the discipline to go to the gym each day until I leave for vacation in early June. It is only 12 weeks away. What is 90 days of my life? I think that would be an amazing challenge but I am afraid if I try and fail I will be even more disappointed in myself. I guess the fact that I am already worried about failing doesnt help. Either way, I am going over there today and getting set up.
