Operation Coup d'Fat

...how badly the last 9 months have gone, diet-wise. I think we can safely say that I have zero self-control or will-power during the school year. I mean, that's pretty sad. Much weight gained back. MUCH. Not all of it, which I guess is a thing to be proud of...but barely, man. BARELY. I don't know what my deal is with diet and exercise during the school year. I really let things get out of control and then it feels like there's no escape from the damage I've created, so why bother? Luckily, summer comes and serves mostly as a motivator. And since today was my last day until August 10th, I've got some time to refocus my efforts. I think, starting tomorrow, I'll just start counting points and working out again. I mean, that's what works, right? It's just doing it. Today is sot of already a bust, given the mini pig-out we had to celebrate the last day in the English office. Still though, I suppose I'll *try* to behave. I think this week...

Okay, so the first week back has not gone so well. It hasn't gone terribly either, but I definitely wouldn't say it's gone well. I weighed myself the other night, and starting with W (which was my weight when I began this last summer), I am still W-6 pounds. So not bad, right?? That means that I only gained back four over the school year ... although I still kinda feel like a roly poly. Food has been bad news this week. Here is my problem: I live in opposite extremes. Right now, I'm not really watching what I'm eating. I'll eat things that are delicious and terrible for me. But at the same time, I have days where I don't really eat much. This is primarily due to the fact that I am lazy, tired, and can't force myself to wake up any earlier than I already do. Thus, lunch usually is just a cup of yogurt and a few chocolates, and sometimes nothing at all. So I either eat a lot of bad stuff, or not much at all. I don't think that can be good...

Aight. I am ready to begin Coup d'Fat the Second. I have not yet weighed myself, but I am pretty sure that I currently weigh less than I did at this point last year (but more than I did at the end of last summer). I have already begun to work out a little more consistently, which sadly only equates to about two times a week right now. While there is really no point in counting today's points, I will project for tomorrow: Jell-o for breakfast (don't judge me ... we need to go shopping). Yogurt and string cheese for breakfast. Some kind of chicken and veggies for dinner? No idea what that point total equates to. We'll see. Maureen, get your butt in gear and help me out.
