The
Coaches:
I've been pfutzing around all morning. "I should have already had that done by now," is the refrain going round and round in my head.
Yeah, well, whatever is my brilliant response. After I send this I will get to work and it will all get done.
My friend and I have ironed out even the small details of her quick trip here this weekend. It'll be good to see her. DH, my friend, and I will spend a nice evening downtown. We can find some interesting place to go. She lives in northern Ontario and so the variety we have here is always an exciting thing for out of towners. Makes it kind of easy actually. Except for the traffic. That's always awful.
Foodwise/program wise I stepped on the scale this morning *credit* to see 277.1. So, it's going down. I have used all my daily points and all my weekly points and earned some activity points so that loss should be a real one. I truly look forward to being lower than 270. Soon! Puhleaze let it be soon! I am, honestly, fed up with my size. I have said that before, have felt that before, and it was true then and is true today. For today I am on plan and enjoying it. *credit* for following a plan and for planning. I have faithfully tracked everyday as well. *credit*
maryann CREDIT to you for making a plan and being flexible within your daily plans. As I see it, there is nothing to be "made up for" given that you made conscious decisions around food. You did not go off track driven by your addiction/emotions/desires for extra food. You shared in the grief of a family you are a part of through your connection to the woman who died. My deepest condolences.
gardenerjoy Oh I sure hope the storm misses you. Is this a sign, though, that Spring has arrived? Are these "spring storms"? Kudos for heavy yardwork. I have mine in front of me. I am super wary given the state of my right hand's thumb and now the left is acting up.
grrr.
nationalparker I'm going to join you in setting an exercise goal for the day: wii fit walking game - can't even remember the name it's been so long LOL! 10 minutes worth. I will update this post with my accomplishment. Thanks for the motivation.
dailypractice When the scale gets to me I remind myself that it is simply measuring the force of gravity on my body. Experts say I'd weigh less on the moon or on Mars, I think more on Jupiter or Saturn! We have a lot of water sloshing around inside of us, so, like the tides, I expect to fluctuate. And when I am NOT Zen enough to think these thoughts, I know that those days when it really really gets to me are days where I am being TESTED and they are almost always followed by a drop. Kind of like a "Yeah, you say you want this, how badly do you really want this weightloss?" If I give in, I stall, often for a week or two. If I stay the course, I get the reward cause I/You are doing everything right. And if it really really bugs you, a lot, don;t step on the scale for a while. Choose to measure you success/progress in different ways for a while. From this side of the computer screen you look to be doing well! Kudos.
p.a. I am glad you're seeing your friend and you'll be doing catch up! I look forward to that with my friend this weekend as well. Credit for checking out the menu of the restaurant where you two will be meeting. This is Beck at its finest! Kudos.
Lexxiss Continued Credits and Kudos for fitting your Beck ways into your day! Excellent job saying no to the work food. You sound happy and centered. Yay!

*snip* ... so much that I had to skip the coffee and muffin - even though it was planned.
This is the type of situation that leads me to disaster sometimes. If I PLAN it then I CAN HAVE IT and even though I may have substituted due to circumstances I am still ENTITLED TO HAVE IT just cause I had planned it. That's what my mind does with a situation like that. So Mucho Creditos Hombre for feeling satisfied with the choices you made. Fantastic. This is why you have YEARS of OPness. It ain't an accident!
Ok going now.
Q. Did I exercise today? no. I did not.
