Wow! A weekend of hiking and really uncontrolled eating and drinking, but I still managed to stay on track -- thanks largely to having stayed within my points and daily aerobic exercise the other five days of the week. It sure was a relief to get on the scale this morning and see that I didn't blow it big time. I guess that proves that you can go overboard now and then as long as you remember to swim (or hike or do aerobics!) and don't let yourself give up just because you practiced some old eating habits for a couple of days.

I know I can't continue in that vein, so I'm back to my routine today, and feeling great for having enjoyed the wedding party without being a bore or retreating to my cabin to avoid the stresses of a table laden with food. Two more major eating holidays are ahead and now I know I can weather them as long as I keep a close tab on my eating before and after the parties and NEVER skip a chance for exercise. I got myself a salsa dancing tape for those too-cold-for-even-me-to-go-for-a-hike days.

Commitment is vital -- a commitment to treat fitness like you would any important job you do. And I say fitness, not thin-ness, because you can be thin and quite unhealthy. There's a woman in my aerobics class who has been desperately trying to get thin FAST. Her face is all saggy and gaunt. She looks so tired. I don't know what she's doing to lose weight, but it isn't improving her LOOKS at all. Her commitment is obviously temporary or she wouldn't be in such a hurry to lose all the extra pounds so she can get back to her old habits. Commitment is vital. I am never going back to my old habits, so I can lose weight at a healthy rate and not worry about how quickly, since I am committed to staying on my new way of being forever. Eventually I will lose all the weight I should and will have to revise my caloric intake to stay that way. I've lost more than 30 pounds and I eat no less than 1500 calories a day. I can do that because my goal is optimal health, not thinness.
