Old habits won’t die…
So, yesterday, I found an excuse not to go to the gym (that excuse being that I had a lot of work to do). So, rather than going to the gym, I came home and ate dinner, then laid down on the couch to watch the biggest loser, and went to bed super-early. So, I am pretty sure that somewhere in there, I could have fit the gym in.
Today, I was at school at 9:00, and didn’t end up getting a break until 7:00, at which point I came home, ate dinner, and went to a friend’s Halloween party. Here is the issue: I am falling back on old habits of not making time for the gym. I need to make the gym a CARVED OUT time during my day when I have to go. It needs to be like going to a class - something that I would not miss unless I were out of town. I was seeing really good weight loss the past two weeks, and I don’t think I’ve gained any this week, but neither have I done anything to get the weight down… 
My friend wants us measured for bridesmaid dresses at Thanksgiving, which sucks because if I keep losing, they are literally going to have to remake the dress. I mean, I wouldn’t mind that at all, but is it really necessary to order a dress in November for a wedding in June? That also means that I will have to put down a deposit in November (groan). Sorry, this is me complaining. I’m exhausted again, and I need to do work, but I don’t want to. I just want to take the kitty and curl up in bed and sleep until next Monday. I know that part of my fatigue is probably attributable to not working out, so clearly, I need to get on that.
Oh, and did I mention that there’s no time for the gym tomorrow except super early (not likely - I like to sleep too much) or at 8:30 at night (also not likely as Gray’s Anatomy will be on and we always have a party at our house). And there I go not making time again….
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I have absolutely no excuse for not working out. I will go by hook or by crook. It must happen. This is important to me.
Here’s food for today, because I feel the need to report it:
Breakfast: Slimfast shake
Midmorning: Twix bar and cookie (from the office!)
Lunch: WW Ziti Marinara and FOUR French rolls (I suspect that these are a trigger food and will not be bringing them into the house any time soon….) and butter
Dinner: LC Pizza, candy corn
Party food: Chips and queso (not too much), regular sized piece of layer cake, 1.5 margaritas (not v. much for me!!)

Sorry but sounds to me like you really need to decide how badly you want to lose weight.
Good luck to you

Workouts are important. You obviously know that though. You can do it. Good luck!!!
I do agree that you need to make working out a priority if you want this to become a habit for you. I know it is hard to do, changing old bad habits to good ones is never easy. You can do this though, just keep making every effort that you can.
I know how hard it is to kick the old habits too. Sometimes you have to just decide it is going to have to be 1st in your life until it becomes habit. TV can be recorded so that is kind of a lame excuse..
My gym has tv playing all the time! Anyway, you know all of this. We are here for you whenever you need us. Keep trying!!
