I exercised today, so points for that. I wrote about half my food down, then I got lazy. That was right about the time I ate several handfuls of non-Phase 1 food. Tomorrow will be better. For now I'll be happy with the progress I made today.
GOALS 1. Log my food here every day.
2. Not be lazy - I am home through Tuesday now so I need to cook more, prep snacks, etc. 3. In addition to my PT, go to the gym 2x more a week and swim once a week. 4. No eating after 9p and only water at that time! (ate some almonds at 9:30)
I seem to be on the excuse roller coaster this past month. Great for a few days then out of control on the downhill! Not anymore! Yesterday was purge day. Enjoy one last dessert and purge the house of unhealthy items and clean the house. I feel better when the house is clean. Today is the real deal P1, not my usual 1 3/4 lol. I know 7 pounds is not the end of the world, but it's 7 pounds closer to where I used to be. Time for them to go!

I've been doing pretty well on mine. I did eat past 8 pm (caved!!), and it was funny the scale was 1.5 lbs lower than yesterday....how the heck that happened, I'll never know.
Lol gotta love it, mine was down 2 from Sunday. Let's see how I fair being back to work. Today I promise to drink ALL my water. Coffee and flavored shelter do not count today
1. continue with being mindful of what I am eating and staying on program
2. not giving in to the inner voice that says "it's okay if you only have a bite" or "I'll just make this/buy this for my girls" when really none of us need it and if being honest my ulterior motive would be for me not my daughters. It isn't okay and that begins the downward spiral so I need to be conscious and open to what I am 'really' thinking, after all, the only one who suffers from those slips and internal games is me and my health
3. Being real - it is the holidays and even with an iron-will, perfection may not be totally attainable. The book refers to consistency, not perfection so if there is a time during vacation that I choose to eat something, it will be planned, compensated for and not put into the 'cheating' category which to me means being 'bad' and sends me into all-or-nothing thinking which I no longer engage in. Christmas day, I am going to eat turkey and I will plan for success but if the desire to have a non-program food hits, I will also give myself permission to enjoy one thing or create a substitution (like the peanut butter cups I read about this morning), take a longer after-meal walk and then get on with my program and not get into self-sabotage or negative thinking. If it's planned, it enables me to make choices verses acting on impulse. Lapse not collapse mindset.
4. Celebrate and enjoy the season through non-food activities
3. Continue with my usual gym routine (cardio 5x week, strength training 3x week and lots of outdoor play on weekends with my husband and kids)
4. Rejoice in success and buy myself a nice Christmas gift for doing my best
Starting over now. So ashamed and self esteem is at a new low. Back on the wagon though. No more excuses!!!
