Hair Day!

Lord it needs it.  Long, gray, frizzy hot mess.  CANNOT WAIT!!!!

Paying some bills, light workout, Starbucks and that rounds out my day.  One more PUSH day tomorrow and I'm home free.  Saturday is DECISION day.  I WILL lose the weight.  The path is still a bit of a mystery though.

Bare with me as I try to figure it out.

Jenny Craig, Whole30, calorie counting???  So many choices.  Good news is all roads lead to VICTORY if I walk the road.

My biggest hurdle is my ALL or NOTHING thinking.  You see I really want to have my social life back in swing.  I've been MIA for over 2 months but I can't do the ALL if I'm socializing.  So what fits best with "cheat" days??

Should I do Jenny Craig and then calorie count on my social days?
Should I do Whole30 and allow treats that are worth it?

Lunch socializing is easy.  I WANT healthy at lunch time.  I never drink at lunch (don't even want to).  It's dinners, happy-hours, night stuff that becomes an EPIC FAILURE.  I over-indulge.  Then the next day is impossible to get back on track.  One night becomes 3 days.

My story is not unique.  Hello almost every weight loss blog!

But I really need to commit to my commitment Saturday.  Not a choice. Not a maybe.  It must be a MUST.

There is a major defeat not living up to a promise to myself.

I have a secondary (should be my primary) goal.  FEEL GOOD GREAT.  A big part of that is being at my "healthy" weight.   Probably the best way to achieve both goals is through Whole30.

One of the things that makes Whole30 so hard right now is having kids home for the summer.  Why??
Whole30 is SO MUCH COOKING and I'm now cooking for an entire family.  Lots more work (i.e. there is no such thing as left-overs with a house of big boys).
Treats, junk food at every turn.  Whether I buy it or not.  They bring it home.

A plus of Whole30 is I can eat with the family.  Easy to modify.  Easy to go to a restaurant.  So I'll feel more included.  It's a nice part of having them home.
A plus of Jenny Craig is I don't have to cook for me.  Much less work.  But the weight loss is fast.

I have two more days to decide.  Might need to do one more comprehensive pro/con list and figure it out.

Today is all about the hair though.  I'm going to sit back and enjoy.  I downloaded a new book.  It should be a good day.

Oh ... and ever notice how when you feel pretty (i.e. hair day) it's inspiring, motivating etc.  I'm looking for that boost today!  Spread the incentive to be a better version today.
