WEIGH-IN: 95 WEEKS OP

I'm up AGAIN this week... continuing to do "the dance" w/ the scale, but I've been fully back on track the last few weeks & that feels really great!! I didn't go crazy on Thanksgiving, so who knows what was up w/ the scale? I'm not worried about it... next WI will be good, I would think!! :o)

Keeping my chin up...

WEIGH-IN: 94 WEEKS OP

Feeling good... firmly back on track this week. Exercising regularly, feeling positive, making "fairly" good choices... not 100%, but that's why I'm exercising regularly!! LOL! :o)

WELL...I'M FINALLY FEELING CONFIDENT...

& firmly back on my feet after the last few months of stumbling & flailing about. I've gotten back to journaling religiously, I know that's what works & I've proven it to myself AGAIN!! :o) I also decided to go back to FlexPoints this past week. I might regress even further back & start doing Winning Points again. I LOVED CORE... really truly loved being directed towards this healthy & fulfilling list of foods, but it did something to me psychologically, being able to have my fill of MILK & FRUIT, etc... not having to COUNT IT, I don't know... I truly can't explain why, I mean, I was still journaling, for the most part, but assigning these foods w/ ZERO points did SOMETHING to me. I didn't go crazy, but I started to drift. I'm hoping to incorporate CORE into my daily life, but I definitely have to go about it differently. I don't know yet.

ANYWAYS... I think that it occurred to me this weekend that only 2 months ago I was actually less than a pound away from being only "THIRTY-SOME" pounds away from GOAL & that is completely incredible to me! So, why in the heck was I wasting so much time goofing off, stumbling around?? It was time for me to recommit & I'm doing just that.

It feels good.

I've been trying to think about what has been going on the last few months that has kept me from staying firmly committed & decided that for the most part it all stems around being TIRED!!! So, I figured that the #1 thing I could do for myself was to get enough sleep. I've been pooped lately ...but that never keeps me from staying up too late. I'm easily distracted & not committed & I think that has alot to do w/ sleep.

So, I made a list of COMMITTMENTS a few weeks ago that I'm going to work on... here they are:
Get more sleep (bed by 11pm)
Get sweets under control
Journal EVERYTHING
Move DAILY
Keep things positive
Clean my house
Commit to the challenges that I head up!
(I'm the "GoaD Challenge Cruise Director" for TWO challenges ( HERE is one of them right now & am not doing well as a challenger!)

I've not done so well on many of them... okay, MOST of them :o) ...I'm really busy & continuously distracted, but I'm getting there!! :o)

Anyways... just thought I should write a quick update to let you know that things are starting to turn around... I'm pretty confident that I'll be posting only BLACK negative numbers in the CHANGE column of my weight chart from here on out!!

Thanks for all of your support guys!!
