The strawberries and creme frappuccino is 9 points my friends - for the small (tall.. whatever). It’s yummy, but seriously I don’t think there’s a single strawberry in it. I can have a milk shake for the same number of points! Stay away! Better yet, make your own at home with real fruit and skim milk for half the calories!

I am struggling with the motivation to get moving on my weight loss plan. Today was just an all around bad day. PMS compounded by an argument with the hubby led to me feeling like I “deserved” a treat so I wound up at Starbucks. Now I’m just feeling bloated and mad at myself. Tomorrow is a new day.

Exactly one year ago I had my most consistent success.  From weeks 12 - 21 I consistently had a loss every single week. Since I have saved all my journals in an excel spreadsheet I decided to go back to those weeks and print them. My plan is to review what I ate and how I exercised during that time and try to re-create the success I had. Just skimming over my journals I am able to see the many smarter choices I was making then - healthy snacks in the afternoon, more fruits and veg , etc… I did it then. There’s no reason I can’t do it now. It’s just a matter of recommitting; exactly what I am doing. Here’s to a better Tuesday!
