I really appreciate all the support and advice I receive here. It helps to know I'm not in this alone. I have decided to do a little practical research, and I am going back to eating Kashi oatmeal for breakfast. I'm keeping my carbs low the rest of the day, but I was never irregular before starting SB. I love this way of eating, and I am sticking to it. I'm eating vegetables like a woman possessed! LOL And enjoying preparing healthy, wholesome, home cooked meals for myself. I was a zap-it-in-the-microwave girl before, and eating whatever mindlessly. With my husband away so much, I only ate well when he was with me. Not that I ate junk food, but prepared microwave meals. Ho Hum. Now I'm getting excited about the foods I'm eating. I am not punishing myself. I am treating myself like the goddess that I am! (KIDDING) I am, however, treating myself with care, respect, and honoring my temple with whole foods. I do feel better. But I'm giving the oatmeal (whole grain) a week trial to see what that does. I am anticipating results!! Oh, and I ate two meals at the table yesterday. All by myself. Not in the living room with a book or television, and not on the computer. I ate it mindfully. And it was good!

I'm just a little bummed. I am up 2.8 lbs. But I'm also a little, um, constipated again. I know, I know. You are sick and tired of hearing me complain about my lack of movements! LOL Anyway, I really did eat well (healthy and to program) all weekend. I over exercised on Saturday, so took Sunday off. But I cleaned house like a crazy woman when unexpected guests called. With hubby finally home, cleaning was not my priority before the call.
I'm not terribly upset by the gain. I know it's temporary. I dressed for church yesterday in a pair of trousers I have not worn in 2-3 years. And they were not tight in the least! I felt pretty again. Twice in a week! I like the feeling. I'm not giving up, and I'm not going back. I love the feeling of loving myself here and now. What's the use of giving myself affection only when the scale drops?? My body and I are in this together, and we're doing the best we can.
Oh, and Luuvd, thanks for the visual idea. I will try that. Yesterday we had some new recipes, and after each dish, I looked down and my plate was clean!! That didn't thrill me. My goal for this week is to really really focus on my eating, and how I feel. I think there is definitely a clue there.

gaining 2.8 lb a week
20 April 2008
Okay. I'm still not posting my weigh in until tomorrow, but I'm 0.8 lbs up from my last weigh. That's better, anyway. There are worse things than plateaus!! I took Bully's advice and pushed the water. Also, even with Fiber One bars, I'm still sluggish in the exit strategy! I'm really working on watching my fiber and keeping my activity level high enough to keep things moving. It's the biggest frustration, really. Otherwise, I feel great. Hubby noticed big difference in my shape, especially walking up the stairs behind me yesterday--there was only one of me! LOL Truly, I have tightened up the bod a LOT. Oh, I also wanted to share another aha moment. Paul McKenna of "I Can Make You Thin" talks about eating consciously. Yesterday I listened to the Chapter 3 podcast of Eckhart Tolle's New Earth workshop, and he talked about being present when you eat, ie eating consciously, prevents you from overeating. You feel full or satisfied immediately when you are focused on eating and not eating distractedly. I'm so working on that. I notice, even when I'm eating a salad or bowl of soup, I still tend to clean my plate/bowl. That's an indicator that I'm not listening to my stomach. Hmm. Goal for this week is to eat consciously. Ask myself "Am I satisfied? Am I full?"

I weighed this morning. No, I am not posting it. Up 2.5 lbs. What?? I have 2 more days since I HAVE to post. Maybe it will be gone by then. Possibly the slight anxiety of two earthquakes while my husband is traveling from the other side of the world? Yah. Maybe. Anyway, the 15 SF Jellybellies and 2 sesame crackers with PB and 3 prunes shouldn't be 2.5 lbs, right?? That was my Friday night binge--used to be it would have been pizza or fried chicken and a couple of Coors or Rum 2/Diet Cokes. Now THAT would have deserved the gain. Nope. I am NOT putting it in my weight history. Instead, I'm giving myself a big hug, then my husband an even BIGGER hug. I'm going to enjoy having him home for the weekend. Definitely. I'm celebrating life and love. I am not going to play the self-defeating couldashouldawoulda game. Not this time, Mister!!

I was shaking in my bed at 4:37 this morning. Actually, my whole house shivered, and my bed moved! We had an earthquake in Illinois!! 5.2 on the Richter scale! I actually thought a truck or a tree had hit my house. Being alone, I was rather alarmed by it, but couldn't sort out what had happened. I stayed in bed till 6:30, then let the dog out and investigated. All trees standing. All rooms in tact. Dressed and went outside to walk the dog, and kept looking back at my house to see if there was any damage showing. After our walk, I checked in with my m-i-l who lives next door and wasn't feeling well yesterday. She was the one who said it was on the radio this morning. It made Yahoo news too! A little scary, though.
J is on his way home from China! He won't get here till late tonight, but he is coming my way. I am excited. And hoping he can see the difference in my body, in my skinnier jeans. I am exercising more. The scale isn't moving, but I feel great.
Happy weekend, be careful--there's a whole lotta shakin' going on!
