June 28, 250

Today I'm 250. 35 pounds lost. It feels like it took as long to get from 30 to 35 as it did to get from 0 to 30, but it definitely didn't so I don't know what's wrong with me. Still on track to hit 220 in October.

Yesterday I was slack about the plan. I improvised. I probably wound up eating fewer calories than I would have, but the point is I don't need to be getting slack.

My problem was the internet, and that's why I'm putting the computer away today after blogging. It's stealing my life. I stayed on the computer so long I was late going to the gym. I finished the gym, but by the time I got back from an hour of weightlifting, my friend was already waiting for me to take me to the movie. I didn't have time to make oat bran cereal. So I grabbed up a piece of rye bread, bluberries and strawberries and almonds as a makeshift breakfast. It was 4:00pm, by the way.

It was so late by the time I got around the eating again, and I was so hungry, that I just skipped snack and prepared lunch.

Then it was so late again and I was so sleepy, that I had second snack (minus the dressing) and only made the fish for dinner, not the rice, and I didn't have any zucchini left so I just didn't have the vegetable or the fruit, just the fish - which I left in the oven too long, burning the tomatoes.

I don't feel like I'm going to go off and binge or anything, but I worry about signs that I'm getting slack before I get to 220, and the computer is to blame. I did plan my meals for the week last night but didn't make it to the grocery store, so I don't even think I have the foods I need for breakfast. See what I mean?

So today I'm putting my computer under the bed and focusing on real, corporeal life, WHICH I LIKE BETTER ANYWAY!!

Staying on track... Hallie

I'm get it about spending too much time online. I read a lot of blogs and it is time consuming. I am working on finding a balance, because I believe it helps me on my journey but it sure eats away at the time.

Good going recognizing it. Hope you enjoy your day!

35 pounds is amazing! You make a great point about the computer. I'm always in front of the computer for work or leisure. It's a fine line between blogging on your life and actually going to go live it! Keep it up! :)
