Well, what a happy day it is inside my head!!!! I do have to gloat for just a minute - I made over 30 lbs lost! YAHOO!!!!!!!!!! 3.8 lbs to WW goal, 8.8 lbs to mine! I am so happy! Now to the specifics. 1st, I had that .8 gain hanging over my head. I thought it wouldn't matter much and perhaps it wouldn't have, but then the real chaos set in. My baby became sick Thursday afternoon. She had Rosiola and would sleep or eat. I was sooooo tired! Not a lick of energy for exercise, therfore I did not do ANY! I made some, not all, poor food choices. It's very easy to do when you are so very very tired! I thought for sure a gain, the same or a minimal loss at best. To my surprise, 2.4 lb loss!
I have learned a few things from this. Once again, do not focus on all the negative choices I have made. Plenty of good choices were made also and those usually win the battle. Also, Fight, Fight, Fight! I have been struggling so in the past couple weeks with nibbling and wanting to eat like a mad woman! I didn't give up. I just kept getting back on track! That is so important. My trusty journal also gave me strength. If you bite it, you write it! No matter how bad it was, I wrote it. I'm ashamed to say this but one day I put in 30 pts for unplanned snacking! Boy what a nightmare! I'm not sure if that's what the points were, but I ate enough mini cheesecakes and homemade bread to feel like it!
I certainly hope everyone is out there fighting for their right to be thin and healthy! What better Christmas present could you ask for other than knowing you were out there fighting - not giving up! Have a great week!
Happy Holidays to everyone! The Christmas Season is on us and everyone is hustling and bustling about to get everything done! Well, in this time, don't forget to take care of yourself! MAKE time for your exercise and food planning! It is so key over these stressful times.
Well, I had another .4 gain this week. It is deserved due to my lack of ambition for exercise and also all of the cookies I shoved in my face! Mix all that with my TOM and whoa - you have a gain! Imaginge that! The good part is I know why I have it and also that the amount is so minor. I am still hoping to make WW goal before the New Year. It is going to be one rough road over the Holidays. Let's see....next week I have lunch out for the bosses, Christmas at my mom's all day, christmas on my hubby's side the next day. Then later that week, another party and then a New Year's party! Yikes! I am determined to come out ahead, so I have done some MEGA planning. Yes, I do have my food planned until past New Year's. This way I can continue to change it and tweak it as time goes on, allowing for more satisfying menus!
So, let's see. We are still incredibly busy working on finishing our basement. We bought a crap load of furniture last weekend. IWth all the stuff going on its hard to fit in exercise, but I am doing it. It may not be quite as much, but it is still there and it is key!
Other than that, Morgan is really walking now. Not soley walking, but she can generally walk about 10 feet. Go Morgan! Go Morgan! Well, my tummy is rumbling so I better go get my apple and munch munch munch!
Stay warm and focus on your New Year's goal!
Hi all! This will be my last journal entry for the year! I can't believe it's almost over. I hope everyone a a very special and rewarding Holiday Season. We had a very nice time and received many nice gifts, as well as spending some quality time with our families.
As far as eating went, well I gave myself Christmas Eve and Day to eat whatever I wanted and I did. I think I ate more sweets than anything. I still feel sick today. So if a gain is posted this week, that is OK because I allowed it. I am alright with it. But next week look out! We do have a few parties to go to, so it will be difficult but I will prevail!
Morgan is sick with a cold and not sleeping very well through the night. We are all tired! Back to working on the basement. I can't wait until its done!
Take this week to reflect on how well you've done over the year, whether it be 1 week or 12 months. It has been a struggle for me, a very successful one though. Decide how you might tweak your plan a little to make it work better for you this year, of course following the program is key but fitting it into your life is up to you! Everyone have a great New Year and let the pounds roll off!!!
