Im going to blame it on Aunt Flow coming to town for the first time in nearly 60 days. Usually when I crave carbs, its starchy carbs. Im really not big on sugary treats, so when I downed two cupcakes and was still considering a third I knew it had to be hormonal. When the cramps and breakouts hit, I was certain that my binging attitude was directly related to the curse of Mother Nature.
Oddly enough, I woke up lower than Ive ever been so far during my journey. I started at 285 lbs and I am now 224.2 lbs. Whatever weird things are happening I am hoping that with enough exercise, adherence to protocol, and positive thinking I can lose 4.2 lbs by Friday. :)
Even though I lost, I now I shouldnt have. So waking up this morning I still recognized that I need to stay focus for the next 4 weeks to meet my goal of maintaining before my third round. I have to say, nothing lowers my confidence faster than cheating on my diet.
I was definitely in need of some diet motivation this morning. So I went ahead and listened to Video by India Arie. :) It helps me realize that even when I fall off the diet wagon, Im still more than my physical appearance.

Sometimes the best diet motivation isnt a skinny girl in a bikini, but a reminder to love yourself for who you are.
