We're Crawling Along
While I haven't been following the plan as closely as I should, I still managed to lose one pound this week after last week's zero loss. Making a total loss of 19 pounds with 11 to go.
However, my hubby didn't lose any weight this week after losing one pound last week. His total loss is 22 pounds with only 8 to go.
Much of my lack of attention to following the Sexy Forever plan like I should, is due to the Casey Anthony trial here in Florida. I've become addicted to the trial, which is aired live, and have moved my Sugar Notes work station to the kitchen table so I can follow the trial.
For those of you who don't know about this trial, it is a compelling murder of a 2-1/2 year old child whose mother is accused of killing her 3 years ago. If you live in Florida, or specifically the Orlando area, you'd have to be living under a rock not to know all the unbelievable details about it. During the past 3 years it gained national attention and has become sensationalized by the media. People from all over have been lining up at midnight the night before, and sleeping outside the courthouse, in hopes of getting a seat to view the trial in person. If you live here, it's the main topic of conversation anywhere you go!
As a result, my guilty pleasure has been this trial. Which is the main reason why I've been lax in following the Sexy Forever Plan. Most days we don't eat enough veggies or I skip a snack and then I eat more than I should at dinner because I'm hungry.
Then, that results in not having leftovers for our lunches. So, to remedy that problem, I've been buying appropriate pre-made items from the deli to serve as supplements due to lack of time. Not huge problems, but they don't help when you're trying to lose weight because they're not prepared Suzanne's way.
I think I'm a candidate for an intervention! Yikes.
So now that I've confessed, I'm hoping it will give me renewed devotion for this plan. My hubby and I have been doing so well, up until three weeks ago when the trial started. We don't want to lose ground. And, more importantly, lose our focus and stray completely from the Sexy Forever Plan. Which scares me a little.
So, I'm asking those of you who follow my blog to give me a kick in the butt. Because, as you've probably noticed, I've also been lax in keeping up with my blog. And, that's also because of the trial. My main focus has to be my business, Sugar Notes, and consequently my blog has suffered because there's only so much time in the day.
Help! Send me a comment or email. I need to get back on track!
Sweet Sister, even though the trial is the reason you have been lax, realize it could be any reason for a diversion; Kids schoold schedules, traveling for your job, yard work, or a job that requires 40+ hours a week. Speaking as someone who has had all of these diversions, try maximizing your diversion time. DVR it for 1/2hr or 45 minutes before you start watching it so you can fast forward through commercials or times when things are slow or not so compelling. That 45 minutes can be uesed to plan or pre-cook your meals so you can stay on track. DVR is a tool I can't live without. We don't watch anything live anymore unless it's a football game! Try it, it may help you regain your focus. Let's give you a hip hip horray!!
ReplyDeleteDVR--great suggestion! I've been lax, too. Slow weight loss is not very encouraging....
