Argh! I feel like I am starting over every other day! LOL. I thought that Friday was it for a month and I could go gangbusters for a month, only to find out there was one more potluck Sunday night. I REALLY have to figure out real life. So many occassions where I am not in control of the food being set on the table. Especially pot lucks where everyone is outdoing each other on the wonderful dishes they bring. I have to learn what really works and exercise it.
OK, so today, I start again. NO SUGARY FOODS!! Plan a week of healthy meals and snacks. Stick to it for one week. That is not so long. Just one week.
One the upside. I LOVE my elliptical. I have been concerned about being away from it for a month, even considered buying one for my daughter so I could use it while I am there. ; ) Instead, I pulled out my DVD's and I have several aerobic ones. I will take them and I can set up my laptop and go for it. She also has WII so I can find something on Netflicks to use. Between that and walking, I have no reason not to get in regular exercise while I am gone. I feel much better about staying away so long now.
I talked to a gal at the party last night that had recently lost 45 pounds. He weightloss came from health concerns and she followed her doctor's advice to get 45 minutes of exercise EVERYday. She had always eaten a fairly healthy diest, made a few changes to clean that up a little and exercises on her stationary bike 45 minutes a day. She is looking good!!! Just one more testament to just eating healthy and exercising regularly. It works!

So far so good. I am finding that getting time in on my elliptical is at the top of my priorities and I am able to manage healthy meals and snacks even when my time is so limited. I think I can make it in the real world!
The real test will come next month when I head to Michigan for a month. I will be somewhat limited in what meals are prepared but I intend on doing most of the cooking. I can make sure there are LOTS of vegies in the house but won't be able to control the amount of cookies and candies. ;/ I am sure I will get to exercise my will power even if I won't have an elliptical. I am thinking about trying to find one on Craig's List.

This is a week that will be a test of the lessons I have learned in healthier eating and staying active. For this week I am back at a desk from 8-5. Friday night we will be entertaining. It is our week to host our Pinochle club for a potluck and an evening of cards.
So, I have 40 hours less of my time. I am not prepared to have once a year company. Lots to do in the house, have to decide what I will be serving, (I do have a reputation to uphold), and have to fit it all in on top of working out this week. I am feeling a little overwhelmed.
Guess I had better plan out the week so I can fit it in. Mornings have been when I fit in my elliptical. That has been moved to evenings so I guess I will get with it. I can clear my head and get a game plan together. I am thinking roast chicken for the dinner Friday night.

Advice I gave to a friend on another board who asked for help because she was feeling so unsuccessful in her quest for weightloss. She has done well, but being farther along in her weightloss she has slowed down drastically and just wants it off NOW.
1.
Stop being so flipping impatient!
You did not put the weight on in a week or two, it will not melt away in a week or two. There will be times when you lose fast and times when you won't. It is where you are in 6 months from now that will matter.
2.
Get rid of FAILED MISERABLY!
(one category in her "grading system". It is in no way beneficial to reaching your goal or maintaining it for life.
3.
Per Phyllis (and I totally agree):
It is for a lifetime. If you expect to keep the weight down, you need to be doing what you can do happily for the rest of your life.
4.
Eat in maintenance range for a week.
Relax. Figure out the number of calories you need to eat to maintain your ideal weight, consider some moderate exercise that you can do for life. After a week, rethink your food plan and activity accordingly.
5.
Don't knitpick every detail.
Forget water weight, it is meaningless. As long as you let every little bump set you off you will be miserable for the rest of your life. You know that when you hit your "ideal" weight, it will still be up and down by 5 pounds easily.
6.
Don't compare your loss to anyone else.
How much someone else loses has no impact on you or your efforts. Be critical only of your food plan and your activity level. Where it is off, fix it, where it is good, keep it up.
7.
Eat what you love in the right proportions
Fit the foods you love into your eating plan and you will not feel deprived of anything and will less likely binge or have a pity party.
8.
Don't weigh yourself everyday
it is causing you too much anguish.
9.
Celebrate the little victories
Instead of worrying about far you have to go, focus on how far you have come. Instead of crying over a tiny gain, laugh at something you did.
10.
Learn to love yourself.
Everyday post 2 things that you love about yourself.
Today I love hair color and my contagious smile.
I think most of it was stollen from FatSecret and I see k8 all over it!!

Back from the family reunion. I have not done any meal planning or recording of my foods since Saturday. I have had little control over what foods were put on the table for 3 days. I have not seen a scale. I have felt kind of lost.
I didn't overeat in huge quantities, acutally ate reasonable amounts of most things but in my mind some things were just not good choices for me. Entirely too much sugar and not nearly enough vegetables! I do know I have overdone the salt so it will so my weight will be high when I get on the scale tomorrow. I don't know how long it takes my body to adjust the sodium thing.
I feel like I will be starting all over with lots of new enthusiasm and determination to continue in changing to a healthier lifestyle and way of eating. I will feel good being back in control of what food is available. I really missed my elliptical!! I am headed that way now before I head for bed.
