Perfection is the name of the game:

Okay, so here's my issue with diets. They work, and they continue to work, until you get comfortable with them. When you get comfortable is when you put their guidelines away and say "Yeah, I'm pretty sure this would be acceptable, after all, it's a lot like _______."  And that my friends, is the state I'm in right now...bad bad bad!

So this week I'm rededicating myself. I'm only 3 weeks into my diet, so let's be honest, there isn't a whole lot to "rededicate myself" to. At least that's what I thought until I retook a look at my diet sheet.  Seems I've been snipping a few corners here and there. Yeah, I'm still loosing, but who's to say that if I go back to 100% I won't loose twice as quickly?

That's my personal goal for this week. Follow the diet 100%. Make sure I'm getting all my water in, staying slightly active but not overly active, not grazing (even if it is on protein and other healthy stuff) and continue on my supplements.

Oh, and if you haven't heard, I'm a mere SEVEN pounds away from my goal weight...holy crap, seven!! My other goal, is to go back to MEPS the week of June 18th. My sister and nephew are going to be in town from Baltimore.  (**Okay, personal mushy stuff, stop if you must, continue if you'd like**) Well, my sister and I have not seen eye to eye for about, oh, 27 years now. I always looked at her as successful, strong, beautiful, and I got the hand-me-downs.  I've been learning this past three years that we're just very different. However, she is my big sister, and now she has an offspring whom I love just as much. I want to make them both so proud of me.  Being from a very Liberal family, the military was never thought of as an option. And when I first decided to join (seriously join) I don't think it was the proudest moment of my sister's life.  However, being the person that she is, she has been nothing but 110% supportive. I don't think there's anything I could ask for more than to have my entire family there when I swear in!  While he may not remember it, I want someone to look at August someday and say "you were there when this whole thing started!" (**Okay, done with cheesy!**) So, the week of June 18th, everyone will be in town, and I'd love to make it an extra awesome time! :)

So this week, my goal is another 1 to 2 pounds gone.  Drink at least 80 ounces of water.  Workout correctly. And be aware of every single bite I'm taking!
