Alicia - 4.20.06

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I hate to continue the discouraging tone of these posts but I too have been bad lately. I felt so slim Sunday morning in my dress and then I slipped downhill by gorging myself during Easter dinner and have 2 helpings of dessert. I continued to regress on Monday when I (home alone and feeling sorry for myself) ate 3 scoops of turtle ice cream as an afternoon snack. Then Matt came home and wanted to treat us to dinner out. We went to Friendly's (which we had heard about but not tried) and almost everything on the menu was fried and fatty. To top things off I've been feeling really tired lately so I haven't done my nightly regimen of sit ups. Why is it that a few days of bad behavior can set me back so far?!

The only shining light in the past week is that I've taken up jogging. I realize if I want to seriously lose some weight I have to do something drastic. Jogging seems drastic to me but I know that if I do it regularly I'll start to see some fast results.

So, pray that God gives me a spirit of perseverance in this jogging endeavor and that He lifts my spirit to look forward and not backward. Onward!

Wierd. I KNOW I posted a comment here, but it has vanished! Hm.

Anyhoo, I think I said, Way to go jogging! I'm sure it will get a lot easier after you do it for a little while.

It seems like most of us are coming to a plateau that would throw us off the bandwagon prior to this nifty accountability blog! I know it will just take us all a little while to get over this hump and start seing progress again. I'm praying for you!

Check out the new chatterbox message board thingy I put on the sidebar. I really want to have a link to a separate page, but couldn't really figure out how to create a separate page (not a separate blog). I wanted something I could change regularly - ie: focusing on two of us each week for prayer. Chatterbox was the best I could do for now.
