How many times to you have to repeat an action for it to become a habit? I had gotten away from recording everything on here and it showed in my weight chart. I am on day three in a row of keeping the food and exercise up to date. I hope it gets back into a habit soon.
I have a doctor appointment coming up. I am heavier now than I was the last time I was there. His goal for me was to lose an additional 20 lbs. He is going to be disappointed and so am I. I have a lot that I have had happen since last December...but no more excuses. Life happens and you have to handle it better than I have been. Hoping to get out of work a little early today to do some physical activities again. I know that is the key to kick starting my losses again.
Monday when I got home from work my hubby was out running in the personal paths he has created in our pasture area. (now a tall grass and scrub tree area as we no longer have animals grazing it.) Each loop around the outside is 1/6 of a mile. I could only keep up with him running for half of a loop...but then I finished off with walking the rest of the first loop and then did another loop just walking at a moderate pace. Got my heart rate up at least for a little while. I know it is pathetic and I have a long way to go to make a difference. Baby steps...
Have a great day friends!

Day 3 of tracking your food and exercise is day 3 of working towards making it a habit. Just keep it up, I think that's something we have to do intentionally. I've got to disagree you about your running/walking in the pasture as being pathetic, not pathetic at all. You're making an effort and doing what you can, that's a wonderful thing. The longest journeys are taken one step at a time. Just keep on the journey, do what you can, and the more that you do, the more you'll be able to do.

Wow. Reading your journal was like looking in the mirror. I can write everything you wrote. Can't remember when I logged food last. Was doing so good then, poof! Need to get back off sugar, up my water, do something to get moving. Have lost all motivation.

K, I should be putting it on FS about October 20 but it won't start until October 31 and will go up through the week of Christmas. Four fundamentals of it are hydrating, journaling on a daily forum, sparkling (sweating) and tracking foods. We will have a "Did you know?" idea each week (trivial facts/ideas to keep things interesting), area of concentration each week (for example the first week will be to get rid of Halloween candy), and I will provide sample exercises each week but encourage everyone to join in or do their own regular routines 3X week minimum. I have also been collecting weight/exercise motivation and articles to share. It will be called Sassy Success. Hoping it is a huge success because I turn 50 next summer and I need to get on the ball at meeting my goal by then!

Do not despair. I had lost 30 pounds last year but then plateaued for almost a year. Last week the naturopathic doctor put me on the Paleo diet. Look it up online. It is eating grass fed beef and organic chicken plus fish, lots of organic vegetables and some fruits. In one week I have dropped 7 pounds and do not feel hungry or have cravings. Not just what we eat but the quality of our food matters a lot. No GMO, no dairy or gluten for me. Hope this helps.
