Week 3: We need to get serious--Again.

Joh: I am completing day 3 with no cigarettes feeling like I am on the brink of smoking at all times. However, I have basically locked myself in my house where I feel safe, at least for the first few days. I am 209.0 lbs., up .2 lbs from last week, but this may be due to the increased drinking around the new year, and yesterday I ate everything I saw to try and fill the void smoking has left in my life. To be fair (lol), now I am taking a nice break from drinking, which should help with smoking. I am focusing on getting noticeably thinner between now and St. Patty's Day for my annual beach trip. However, Rebekah has been drinking a bit, and blaming no weight loss on bloating. I sadly have no tricks up my sleeve for her. I am at a loss on how to motivate her. If she screws up because I do, I feel bad. I really don't want to screw up because she is. Not to mention, that this would just not affect her the way it does me. I can only hope that she gets herself under control because I am back to serious, again.

Rebekah: I'm at 136.4. So I've lost .2 lbs. I blame the lack of weight loss on bloating. And it could be from bloating. Or, as Joh so poignantly stated in a text message this morning, "it could be from the fact that [I] drank way more than twice this week." Fair enough. And that would also explain the number of calls I've gotten from unfamiliar phone numbers. So seriously. It's time to get serious again. Thanks to Joh's verbal spanking, my tail is tucked, my head is hung and I'm ready to get back on track. I behaved very well today. I do have plans to go out to dinner with a friend tomorrow, but I'm committed to this. So I'm going to study the menu tonight, and plan tomorrow's meals the best I can. I've seen that Joh's plan does work and I agreed to do this to help support Joh. This week, I've been as supportive as a piece of non whole wheat pasta and I've let Joh down. So I'm dedicating the following New Year's Resolutions to her. New Year's Resolution Number 1: Stick to the plan. New Year's Resolution Number 2: Find my power animal's power animal and become that animal's power animal. Fun fact: I have discovered that I really like Trader Joe's nonfat fruit yogurts. I was previously a yogurt hater, but now I've found a good way to work in nonfat dairy, so that I can have my guacamole or pecans. No more cheats. I'm all gold stars this week. Pinky swear.
