So here's what happens:
1 I get on a new plan with a new committment;
2 I lose a few pounds;
3 After a week the weight loss stops;
4 I get aggravated & go on a binge;
5 I gain back the weight & maybe 1 or 2 more lbs;
6 I feel lousy for failing, stop overeating & end up back where I started.
And it's happened again. Still hovering around 158 lbs, and I have another weight loss plan arriving today. Actually, it's an older one that I've done before with some moderate success, the 21-Day Fix. I lost some of the measuring cups so I had to order some more, plus a cookbook AND exercise DVDs. None of this will help if I can't stick with the plan for the full 21 days, though, so that will be the goal this time. And some modest weight loss of course. Crazy that I keep doing this to myself. Interestingly enough, the sermon at Church last Sunday asked us if we were REALLY ready to quit whatever vice we have, and the example used was weight loss. Our Minister talked about a diet counselor friend who talked about the five stages of cheating:
1 The Idea to cheat (usually seeing or thinking about something yummy)
2 The Desire to cheat, which builds from #1
3 The Decision to cheat
4 The Preparation (going out for the ice cream, burger, whatever), and
5 The Actual Cheating
The diet counselor said people could interrupt this train of thought at any stage before #5, and offered suggestions on how to do so. The usual stuff, drink water, go for a walk, call a support buddy, etc. I need to come up with a few, I've had good luck in the past with buying a new outfit I want, LOL! What does anyone else do to distract themselves?

Well I'm totally failing in my Feb. goals, I am at least keeping up with meal planning & tracking but I skipped another training session today in favor of a good book. Also, another project that I intended to finish this month seems to have fallen by the wayside. I just lost interest in it I guess. This week's meal planning seems to revolve around clearing out my freezer, two of the meals I picked were based on what I found in there, LOL! Tomorrow I'm making a pea soup recipe I found featuring bags of frozen peas. Hubby loves peas, me not so much, but I'm adding some ham & will eat it anyway. At least some of it. Hope your day goes well!

Well I finally got some legitimate exercise today, 30 minutes on the treadclimber. Plan to do some weights this afternoon before work. I'm surprisingly unmotivated to exercise, possibly because the weight loss stalled out so badly last week. I know, I just need to be patient, give it a few more weeks and THEN make some adjustments. At least I'm still tracking and staying (mostly) within the calorie budget. Today is tricky, I tried a new homemade mac & cheese recipe. Supposedly higher in protein & lower in carbs. Supposedly 370 cals without the extra bacon & chicken that could be added, hmmm. I picked the one that came up because the calorie count most closely matches. Sometimes you just gotta guestimate these things. Anyway, this new recipe is okay but there are a couple other mac & cheese recipes that I like better, though one is REALLY high in calories. Maybe I'll plug one of them into the FS cookbook later, for a more accurate calorie count. Have a nice day, everyone!

Well the scale finally moved, but in the wrong direction - Darned weekend weight gain strikes again! Fortunately, it's only 1/2 lb, so hopefully I'll lose it quickly. And hopefully, this week another lb or 2 will join it. I admit, I didn't get much exercise, though I did get 5000 steps in yesterday. I plan to do better today. New week, let's gooooo!!!!!

Well it’s Chinese New Year so hubby & I had Chinese for dinner. Put me over on calories, but oh well, sometimes you just need to relax & enjoy yourself. So this fitness watch hubby got me is quite illuminating, no pun intended. I didn’t make it to the gym yesterday, Friday is my least likeliest day to exercise plus it was payday, so shopping! I pretend that shopping is like walking, but apparently that’s not true. I got more steps in today at work than I did all day yesterday! I think I need to set a goal for a minimum of 5000 steps per day, not including whatever exercise I might do. Anyway, happy new year for everyone, it’s the year of the Dragon so let’s get FIERCE!
