I have gotten lazy with the diet. The past few weeks with the losing 1 pound and then 4 pounds and then 1 pound prove it. I'm sick of the roller coaster. I don't like the guilty feeling that comes from cheating; but I LOVE the feeling of putting on clothes that fit better than they have in a long time. I like feeling good when I work out and not struggling through things. I love the "target me" in the image above.
So why am I letting myself have things I shouldn't? Why am I not keeping the promises I made to myself a few weeks ago about cutting out the salt? Why am I not doing the best I can? I don't know the answers to these things right now. All I know is that I am going to try much harder than I have been and I AM going to stop doing these things that I know I shouldn't. It's far far past the time for me to start keeping promises to myself.
