So, day 1 of re-taking control of my life was a resounding success! YAY me! I shopped like a maniac and restocked the house with healthy stuff, and reined myself back in from feeling like this task is more than monumental. Yes, I want to lose 120 lbs, but this month I only want to lose 10. Who can't lose 10 pounds?! It's totally doable.
My only real plan for this month, change-wise, is to resume eating at least 4 meals a day. I would like to say I'll eat 5, but 4 is a struggle for me because of my limited access to a refrigerator. Maybe that needs to be part of my plan this week as well, to develop meals that don't require refrigeration. Right now I'm thoroughly enjoying a string cheese and apple snack, but eating that everyday will not ensure it remains a favorite for very long.

Wow, who knew salmon patties could be so high in calories! Ah well, live and learn. I suppose it's salad for dinner to make up for it, but that's alright. I need to see about switching my heavy meal to lunch anyway. I think it may help me get my mindless eating under control. I get more movement in during the day, though once it starts to warm up I will be taking the dog for walks in the evening.
I don't feel as sure of myself and my ability to succeed this time around, but I know it's doable. Maybe support meetings would be the right thing for me. I hate investing in weight watchers again because I think it's a ridiculous amount of money (a gym membership plus a couple $), but I can't seem to find the niche I need to succeed! I quit smoking, for god's sake! I should be able to manage my eating! :::sigh::: Ok, got that frustration off my chest. Now I'm off to do laundry... Having a day off has proven to be more work than going to work! lol

A new year and a new start... or maybe I should just call it a return to the path. It's one well traveled one, that's for sure! I've let a number of stressors in my life lead me off course, but I think I'm back for a longer haul this time.
I just finished reading Joy Bauer's recommendations for cleansing yourself in a healthy way, and she took a page out of Atkins book by recommending you go two weeks without any sugar or sugar substitute, and without any added salt. I'm going to try it and see if I can't get around my desperate devotion to buckets o' coffee everyday.
I'm starting fresh and with healthy good intentions. Walking the new addition to the family, Dinky Swiffer (a rug-rat of a pomeranian), and burning up the Ipod on healthy activities are the goals. I made myself a promise that I would only listen to my new audiobooks on the ipod, and I will only use the ipod if I'm on my feet and moving, so walking is about to become my newest favorite pass-time!
Here's to a healthy, active, and successful year.

Oh journal, what a horrible run I had over the holidays! Not so much because of all the holiday tasties and treats, but because I had an emotional "what am I going to do with the rest of my life" meltdown. I did end up making a decision, but it took me another week to overcome my nerves over the decision, and I'm sure I gained back every ounce I lost if not more.
The good news is I learned that I'm an emotional eater. I use to think I was an over-eater because I adore the way food tastes, and I really do love tastes and textures, but I realize now that any kind of depression or anxiety totally sets me off on something akin to a binge. I don't eat massive amounts in one sitting hidden in some dark corner, but I eat all day, nibbling constantly. A good thing to know because maybe now I can control it.
So, back onto the path I stumble, ragged and dirty, but on my feet! Here's to a wonderful new destination, and not because it's a new year.

I'm going to pretend this week didn't happen. Not the cheats (though small) and not the weigh in, which stayed the same. Grrrr!!!
