I spoiled them with my time today and that felt really good. I spent as little time as I could in the kitchen and put all my extra time into being with them swimming and boating. I think that is more meaningful and memorable than any treat I could give them. You don’t remember the treat, you remember the day. Continue reading Day 47: Good Times
I was able to eat or drink something that I was really wanting without going overboard. I never wanted more of anything because for the first time in a long time I was satisfied with my choice- it had either done the trick and filled some empty food void or had proven a point to myself…that some of the things I used to enjoy are just no longer enjoyable. How else do you know how far you have come without testing those limits? Continue reading Days 37-46: Circle the Wagons!
It is really quite infuriating. You come up with a plan…spend countless days arranging everything so your road blocks are minimal…you rally your support network, hire the professionals to help guide you, you set your realistic and timely goal…you do everything that you are supposed to do. You work your ASS off every moment of every day, you make sacrifices and your struggle and you claw your way to that goal. And then you REACH it…you have MET your goal. But instead of a rush of adrenaline and happy thoughts you reach Mount Anticlimactic. Continue reading Day 35: Why Can’t I be Happy With a Loss?
It is hard to hear that this was the best week with such a small loss. I feel very conditioned to only think and concern myself with my weight number. Even though 30/10 really only focuses on your visceral fat loss and your total body fat composition, the weight number is the easiest to understand. I cant see my actual fat but I can see what I look like. The less I weight the better I will look…right? Continue reading Day 34: Mixed Results
I still do not know how I will maintain my future weight and that is making me nervous and anxious. I am also not a wheel-spinner and I feel a bit like I am spinning my wheels. I know there are some BIG changes coming in my personal life but these changes are still on the horizon. I just want the weight to be gone so I can get on with things. My therapist would-I am sure- suggest that this is tactic that my addiction is using to try to get me off program or off plan. I will see him Thursday and see if I am correct in my assumption. Regardless…that is how I am feeling today. That is what I am thinking at this very moment. Who would have thunk that there was so much involved with being fat/overweight/obese! Continue reading Day 32: Restless
t WORKS if you just let it work. Don’t OVER-DINK (Dad) with it and just let it do its thing…just go with the flow! So these next couple of days I will go with the flow. I will follow the program to the letter and just let it do its thing. Continue reading Day 31: Going With the Flow
Celebrations, sun, Standing Head to Knee pose, and Rice Cream Pie. Continue reading Day 30: Father’s Day
Learning is a passion of mine. Reading is another passion. The two go hand in hand…no matter why you are reading or what you are reading you are learning something. Continue reading Food for Thought
Today was a good day… Continue reading Day 29: Chillin’!
My goal is to lose 5 pounds by June 25th. I am .7 pounds away from achieving that goal. That feels pretty good. It does NOT however make the pst week any more bearable. It does in a small way…but like I told my mom this morning…I would rather lose less weight each week and have my mental state be more positive. Continue reading Day 28: Results!
Thee Struggle is REAL!
