Okay, my weight has surpassed the acceptable weight range of keeping it between 125 - 130, so I need to track my food again. I have been allowing myself to become too slack in the food dept. and my pants feel too tight! Bummer.
I can rationalize the scale gain as partly water weight, but it doesn't matter; mentally I know I need to be diligent again. Like all things in life; if we take our eyes off the ball things generally start to go downhill.
It sucks that I allowed myself to get so relaxed that I need to log what I eat again, but obviously I need the discipline.
Exercise-wise I haven't stopped my running, but I wont' be logging my activity as it's simply to tedious. I run 2-4 miles each session, 3-4 times a week, with a bit of yoga afterwards. That's it. I don't like running, it's just the most convenient and I stay motivated by knowing that it's good for me.
Today, is a new day and I will get myself back to 125. It's good to have a target date, so I will say by March 1st. Slow and steady progress. If this was closer to summer I would hasten that goal date, but fortunately I don't have to look at my summer clothes for a few more months - small mercies!
Have a great weekend everyone - stay focused and we can all reach our goals.

I've been wondering the same thing ... sometimes I have to stop and think 'what have I eaten today ... ' when I feel hungry and maybe the logging would serve not so much as a restriction but information on something I'm lacking if the things I'm eating aren't satisfying hunger and cravings. I so love that you admit you don't like running but do it anyway ~ that tells me it isn't addictive to everyone but the need is still there - just works well in my mind and is something I wrote yesterday on my 'imagine' list - I imagined myself smiling and enjoying a run. Yep, take it time, be good to yourself and you'll return to your goal weight. You are so strong it's a given.

Yes, I've been told by a few people that I can be like a dog with a bone. Fortunately, with age comes some wisdom and we learn to losen those bones sometimes.
Thanks for reminding me to be kind to myself as I think so many of us FS folk are so very guilty of the opposite. Yeah, I need to log for restriction purposes to keep myself accountable. I wish I didn't, but I need to remember that I can't eat that extra cookie or have that other piece of chicken.
Yes, Bells, you can use me as an example of mind over matter when it comes to running! That's what I do actually when I'm running - I imagine myself enjoying it because of what it is doing inside my body. Each step is strengthening my cells and keeping me strong. Keep up your yoga classes! I have to go and log my dinner now...bye for now.
