The Mirror vs The Photo

Strange title, I know. Every morning when I look in the mirror to get ready I am pretty happy with the way I look. Of course I can't wait to get to my goal weight but I don't think I look fat or anything. I noticed the other day however, when I saw a photo of myself and was very unhappy that something was not adding up. Is what I am seeing the mirror or the photo reality? I'm not sure. I see fat in the photo and looking good in the mirror, does anyone else experience this? It seems strange to me.

Also, I made a fill appointment for mid March! Yay, the last time I went was in November. I am not going to get anymore than .1cc as I'd like to slowly get back to my 7.8 before I had to get some taken out. I'm going on a Cruise at the end of May again this year so I don't want to do anything too aggressive fill wise before I go. I'll probably make another appointment to go after my cruise. Maybe I won't need it though, I'm trying to to do better but I really struggle with bad habits. Oh 2012, the year of breaking bad habits. =)

Last Week

All in all I had what I consider to be a very successful week last week. Everyday but one I brought my lunch to work (which I NEVER do). I think it was Wednesday I just completely forgot. Also I counted my calories and 5 out of 7 days stayed under 1500 calories. The other two days, one of them was just under 1700 and the other I kind of lost track of but I know it was under 2000. Last night I did my Jackie Warner abs workout. I have not done it in a while and to my surprise I'm not sore. I feel it of course but it doesn't kill like it has in the past, guess I'm in better shape than I thought!

 

This week I'd like to try and keep my target calorie count between 1400-1450 now that I am more use to eating less. I would also like to incorporate some cardio into my schedule but I am a little concerned. Whenever I start cardio I become more hungry so I am worried with decreasing my calorie count and upping my workouts, that I will be crazy hungry. I think I'm just going to have to do it anyway though, I'll let you know how it turns out!  =)
