Setting new goals

I've been really struggling with keeping on track these last two weeks. I was up four pounds last week, and I only lost 1.4 of them this week. I was so upset at myself that I didn't even write it into my weight log. And I think that was a mistake, one I've now rectified. I have to stop hiding from my failures and start learning from them. So I wrote them down, and now I'm trying to figure out what I can do to get back on track.

1) Write down everything I eat this week.
2) Drink nothing but water (I had gotten side tracked with coffee drinks and strawberry lemonade)
3) Start running again. I kind of lost it last week, I only did day one. It's harder for me to go out because I know how long it's going to take. I can see why others love to run, it is such good alone time, but I have NOTHING but alone time, at work, at home, in the car. I don't like being alone with my thoughts that long, and with jogging it's not like I can take a tv show with me. But tonight I'm going out with my friend for a jog, and I need to remember why I started this. It is the first time I allowed myself to start for a goal I didn't think I cold accomplish, and I'm GOING to accomplish it.
4) Limit my carbs, amp up my protein.
5) Write more in my blog.

I think these are the steps I'm going to take this week to get back on track. Next week, I'll come up with new goals, and the week after that.

So here are the numbers
Current weight :251.6
Weight lost this year : 19.5
Total weight lost : 41.8
New goal 240 by July 17th (my friend's wedding)
