It never really mattered too much to me

Monday was another great day.

My eating was 100% on point. I ate everything that I had planned to eat. There were no detours on the way home. You don't know how badly I wanted to stop at a Wendy's yesterday after work. Their Value Menu was calling out to me. But I was planning on making an apple upside down cake (courtesy of cooking light) so I just decided to let a slice of that be my treat for the day. So no hamburger or nuggets for me. That battle was won, but the war goes on.

I got in my 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. Instead of doing the 5, 2.5 minute intervals, I changed it to 2, 1 minute ones. This really gets my heart rate up. It's one minute less on the fast speed, but it sure feels like a more tougher workout. I think I'll stick to this set-up for a bit.

Even though I have been eating right and working out, I feel a bit fluffy. I'm thinking it has to do with my pal. I hate this feeling. It's a bit disappointing after all the hard work I've been putting in. I have to remember that it'll be gone in a couple of days. Sometimes, I hate being a girl (not really).

The boyfriend thinks I should stop blogging for a bit. He thinks it distracts me from doing what I have to do to lose weight. Like the majority of the time, I think he's wrong. Blogging has helped me stay accountable. Plus, they're are so many supportive and motivating bloggers that I have come across. It might sound weird but sometimes I eat good and workout just to not let YOU down.

What do you think? Has blogging been beneficial to your weight loss journey?

  3. I love blogging because it helps me to stay focused, plus I get support that I don't always get at home. Plus Bloggers tend to be unbiased in their comments, meaning that they tell it like it is and really want the best for you...or atleast that is what I get from my blog!

    And blogging was THE KEY factor to my success and I believe it will continue to be! It does take up time and I stress if I don't get my post up for each day...but in the end I think the results are worth it!!

    I vote - 4 Blogging!! :)

  6. I've only been on my weight loss journey and blogging about it for 2 weeks now, but I know it is very beneficial to me! I love the accountability of it and the great support system.

    Great job, skipping on Wendy's!

  9. Blogging definitely helps me with my fitness goals. I am not trying to lose weight, just improve my overall condition. It does help to get the support of others and hear their suggestions. Sometimes other people think of things I might not have considered.

  10. I think he's wrong! Tell him I'm sorry ;) Blogging helps think things through and gives motivation (through fellow bloggers). It holds us accountable and helps us see what we do. :)

  11. I agree with what EVERYONE is saying. As usual, the boyfriend doesn't know what he's talking about. LOL (just kidding nene <3)

  12. Great job on bypassing Wendy's! Keep making those healthy choices.

    Blogging tends to help me stay focused, but there have been times when I need to get off the computer and DO the right thing, not just write about it. ;-)

  13. Blogging and reading others blogs definitely help me stay on track. When I don't blog or read others blogs I tend to stray.
