I’ve Been a Bad Girl

Diet, what diet – oh yeah that HMR thing.
I know, I’ve been bad.. I was doing SO great, then let my laziness take over.
We’ll I’ve done a lot of soul searching over the past 2 weeks to motivate myself again.
I don’t want to be that lazy person anymore, and I refuse to let “Fat Donna” sneak back into my life and take over.

I got really honest with myself and basically gave myself a lecture about how dumb it is to give in now and go back to my old ways – I will not fail again like every other time (don’t know if this constitutes talking to myself of not, but hey, we’re all a little nuts).
So, after a weekend of fried junk, cake and every fattening thing I just stopped.
I went from 254 to 259 in 3 days..ugh.. I refuse to be 260 again, because I know what will happen.. Oh it’s only 5 pounds, and then I’ll 5 pound my way up over 300 again like before!
I’ve made a conscious effort to be good and stay on track. I need to develop self control, and learn how to live outside the box without going overboard.

So, I followed my weekend splurge by 6 hours of yard work, mowing, raking, cutting down trees and digging up their roots on Saturday. Sunday, I finally finished my retaining wall project, more yard work and a volleyball game.. that combined with lots of shakes and water has put me back to 254 this morning.

I’m done with the 250’s – time to visit 240 for the first time in years… so my personal goal is to be there in the next 10 days..

Hi...not really a comment on this post specifically. I just started the HMR diet on this past Friday (the 13th...yeah I know...lol). I've enjoyed reading through your blog. I haven't read it all, but enough to see that you've lost quite a bit, and I also enjoy your frankness. I started blogging too...you are the first that I am actually inviting to read it, gotta take that plunge! Thanks for the inspiration!

Hey DJ,
How are things going? Haven't heard much new from you lately... I started the official program today, and am feeling good so far.
