I had a feeling I would not do so well on my weigh-in this week. It seems like no matter what I do, I just can’t stick to my goal of 1600 calories or less a day. I’m just so hungry all the time! Plus, I made the lethal mistake of having some wine the other night – I should know by now that I cannot drink on diets. It’s not the calories – in fact, I had saved an extra 200 calories that day just so I could treat myself to a glass of wine at night. No, the issue is getting drunk and losing my mind. After drinking ¾ of a glass on an empty stomach, I started getting all loopy and drunk (I have turned into such a lightweight when it comes to booze). By the time I finished my glass-o-wine, I had completely lost my mind and was rummaging through the kitchen cabinets for munchies. And of course, I was feelin so good after the first glass of wine, I had to pour myself a second… So, in the end, I managed to blow my diet – for the second week in a row.

I had been pretty lenient on myself the first two weeks of this diet – I considered it my “transition time”. But now, now it’s time to buckle down and really do this! Here are my mini-goals for the week:

1600 calories a day – no cheating!
At least 6 hour-long workouts
Goal weight loss for the coming week: 3 lbs.
