ok, folks. a new low, or high, as it were. i could not button my smallest sized jeans this morning. i'm not happy.

so, here's the ACTION PLAN


no more snacking
no more than 6 crackers per day [doesn't matter that they really are whole grain - they're still CRACKERS!!!!!!]
moving more


and since that last point has been HARD for me to get started doing, i've recruited reinforcements! today started with a 15 minute walk.

i told the ladies at work that i was going to invite them to join me for a 10 minnute walk this morning, and another one this afternoon. we've done the morning walk so far. and it was the right thing to do.

the key point for me is to MAKE THE APPOINTMENT with myself!!!! so, by the end of today, i'll have logged 35 minutes of walking [at least!] and if i finish off the day with some weights, or other strength training, i'll be a happy girl.

scheduling it seems to be the key for me. always has been - probably always will be. but as big a pain as it is, KNOWING this gives me power and control

at least, that's what i'm hoping! and if i get a healthy dose of stress management along with it, so much the better!!!!

To Quote Bella Carolli and everyone else who does an Impression of him!
YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!
:strength: the moving for me is imperative it also curbs the snackage

Hows your Journaling?
I'm proud of you. . . you didn't say the jeans shrunk and you didn't beat yourself up. PROACTIVE its just just a facewash for pimply teenagers
You're in the driver's seat and you're getting support
