Remorseful & Half and Half

So, at 5:30am when my alarm went off so I could get up to go run hills with Heather...I realized it was Friday. Holy cow...it's Friday...and I never posted on the competition blog. What?!?!? How could I have forgotten?? But then I realized that I did post a response to the cry for help regarding breastfeeding and losing weight....but I wasn't sure if that should officially count....since all I did was just leave my phone number and tell her to call me. So, darn it. I don't know if I will be DQ....however...I hope I'm not. AND if I am...it's ok. BUT if I am....I am STILL going to finish and keep track of points etc. This has been good for me....and I paid for it...so I'm seeing it through.

Now...for my real post....that I was supposed to do earlier this week.
Half and Half

I think sometimes I am a half and half dieter. For instance, I do GREAT on Monday thru Thursday. But then Friday comes and I am TIRED and CRANKY and I want a day OFF from all things diet. Then Saturday comes and gosh, the day is different than week days, my kids are home all day and nothing seems to go smoothly, etc. etc., and all of a sudden it is dinner time and I didn't journal ONE bite. THEN, Sunday. Sundays are fun. They are unlike ANY other day of the week!! ARG. I have to really work hard to get in my water, journal and keep my chin up and positive til kids are in bed and I collapse into bed myself. Then Monday morning I am SUPER remorseful of forgetting my goals and losing focus for THREE whole days!!!

So I try to regroup, recommit and dig deep for those week days!!! Monday thru Thursday I am a champ....and then Friday comes.

I totally do the same thing with my weekends! So, you aren't the only one!

Also, just wanted to let you know, the nusring is way down! That's why I haven't called. But if it kicks back up...I will for sure be calling.
Thanks Elise and have a great week!

You are a champ! And it's not half and half. 4 days is more than half of 7, so you're doing great a majority of the time!
