Day 39 - love my punching bag and pink gloves

Day 39
didn't check weight today but yesterday it was at 228.2.  Getting lower but very very slowly as the scale has been climbing up and down for the last 2 weeks or so.  However, so has my focus.

Food: at about 1,773 calories at 9:36pm and needing 2,280. hmmmmmm
B: yogurt/cherry smoothie (needed more but was distracted at work till about noon)
S: apple
L: turkey, cheese, lettuce sandwich on whole wheat, Sobe Life water, FF pudding
S: Almonds, 2 packages of 100cal choc. covered pretzels (those packs are really not very satisfying so glad that was the last of them
D: Brown rice, teriyaki chicken, a bit of white rice/w veggies (steam bag), skim milk, creamsicle, AND FF fudgcicle
S: yogurt/cherry smoothie (tried a new yogurt, more calories but didn't taste that good :( )
Plan to have a bowl of cereal before bed.

Activity:
I worked out after dinner as I probably wouldn't have had the energy otherwise.
30 minutes Biggest Loser Body Sculpt workout (included 5 min. warm up and 5 min cool down), 44 minutes 3 mile Walk Away the Pounds, 7.5 minutes punching the heavy bag - very cleansing.
30 wall pushup and 4 were done during the BL workout.
Did better with my water today, yay but not as much as I need.

I feel that I'm slowly getting my focus back.  It was that whole balance thing that I knew was going to be my nemesis during this journey.  Its what sabotaged me last time and caused a relapse and many pounds gained back (about 50 to be exact).  I really want to be able to master this.  It is our mantra at my shop, "Creating balance for mind, body and spirit".

When you've lived your life battling a weight problem, you have to be vigilant.  Its work (which I don't mind) and it requires some focus (which I don't mind).  I'm a work in progress physically and mentally :)))

Transformation is my theme for this year, Balance is the key to my success.
