Re-dedication

Hey there guys, remember me? The author of this blog? Somehow almost half of May has gone by and I haven't blogged once...no bueno.

I'm sorry to say that today's post isn't going to be an awesome recipe or cool story. I really haven't cooked much between my roommate's mom forcing food on me every chance she gets and me going home on the weekends. No, today's blog is more of a way of holding myself accountable. You see, if I tell the world (Ha! Okay, the 10 of you that read this) my goals and then not achieve them I'll not only be letting myself down, but all of you too!

So, you may be wondering, just what am I talking about? Well friends I'm talking about my struggle to lose these, stubborn, last 10 pounds. Yep, I said it. I'm still not satisfied with my weight-loss progress. Now don't get me wrong, I'm very proud of what I have accomplished so far. It's just that in the last few months my dedication to the whole program has been a little lackluster. I still meet with a personal trainer twice a week, run twice a week, and eat decently throughout the week. The major problem has been the weekends and little binges during the day. Even though it's almost been a year, I still find myself resorting to food when I can't think of anything else to do or am avoiding some chore. We all know how that goes right?

So, how am I going to get back in the saddle, so to speak? Well for one, I'm doing another DietBet. That's where you pay into a pot and then have a certain time frame to lose 4% of your starting weight. If you'd like to join in on mine click here! Of course just that won't be enough so I'm also going back to no alcohol and diet pops, along with not buying packaged snacks at the grocery store.

With my one year mark coming up in just over a month I'm hoping this push will give me what I need to get down to my original goal of weighing 125 pounds one year from when I started. We shall see!

Thanks for reading!
