It's the first of March already, people! Can you believe it. Nice to see another loss on the scale. While the weight loss is not happening as quickly as I would like to see it, only 6.8 lbs for the month of February, I still hit my first goal today. I am happy to see this particular weight because I remember being this weight when I went on my first date with my current husband-nearly 25 years ago. At that time I was on my "weigh" down from over 300 lbs and felt very triumphant and even a little sexy to be honest. Over the decades I have lost and gained weight but it seemed that I rarely got above 232. It was like a magical stopping point somehow. I always knew that life had gone off the rails and my mind with it, when I got heavier than this current weight. I am delighted to see my old friend 232 again this morning. Also, on the fitness front I got my bicycle out and got air in the tires. I am going to ride it this morning. Have a happy Friday and a great weekend everyone!

I guess it could be worse? Only 1/2 a pound lost for the week is better than nothing. I was doing really well until last Sunday when I had a Brunch out with 3 of my clients and then there was a Super Bowl party. I had one mimosa at the brunch and vegan pancakes (I only ate 1/2 of that) but it left me feeling like I was going to fall asleep at the wheel driving to my sister's house. When I got there I needed to lie down in the worst way. i guess I have been doing without all those excitotoxins and processed carbs and couldn't take the hit. At the SB party we brought a dish we could share though it was still vegan hot dogs in crescent rolls. There were only 2 other food items we could eat there-vegan dumplings and one guy made a broccoli/tofu stir fry with soy sauce. He wasn't even vegan but he liked this recipe. So I only had one small plate of food but man the salt levels-through the roof. Later I had a cocktail my husband made for the party and one each of the cupcakes I had made for the party-chocolate almond ones and mango/coconut. They were normal size cupcakes-not huge. The funny thing is that there were bowls of crackers, chips, pretzels and cheesy puffs sitting right in front of me and I never noticed them AT ALL. Plus vegan chocolate candy strewn about. Never saw it until I was helping the hostess clean up. Now there was some Caramel Corn with almonds and raisins in a big bowl. The other vegan at the party had made it and boy did I ever chow down on that-like 2 of those paper party bowls worth of it. I clearly need a rule for the popcorn. So overall I thought I did pretty well. I sure didn't binge on anything like I would have in the past but on Monday morning I was up nearly 4 lbs! I spent all last week working that off. I am prepared and motivated for a brand new week. I would love, love, love to be down to 232 by next Sunday. I have a massage exchange with a therapist that dropped 8 lbs in January "just by quitting her wine habit." I am feeling competitive with her for some strange reason. Maybe it's motivating me? Anyway, it's time WE Get to IT everybody. Have a healthy and productive week ahead. Keep reaching for your goals.

Finally hit the 7 lb loss mark. It seemed like nothing happened in January scale wise though I did get super clear on my "rules" and I realized the reason why I would have super intense cravings in the afternoons between 1-3 pm. If I have been having a super stressful morning and don't have time to take even a 5 minute rest break (no phone, no interactions, just rest or walk outside) then my brain sends out the emergency signals and I get stuck in that sympathetic state of fight or flight. So 8 days ago I was having a strong chocolate craving, really intense and I stopped and somatic breathing-count of 7 on the inhale, count of 11 on the exhale. I did this about 4-5 times and I could tell that I had switched over to the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest). My cravings practically vanished. Knowing how to deal with the cravings I wrote down my new rule-"I will never again eat chocolate candy" and I make sure to take a 5 minute break, or do the breathing, when I am stressed out. It's been 8 days and I am chocolate candy free with no interest in it at all. That's an even bigger WIN than hitting the 7 lb mark. I've got some freedom around this chocolate bingeing that has been plaguing me for years. Have a great Friday everybody.
