Nice - way to go!!! And you have some very good ideas as well!!!

188 and all is well....

Another bit of advice...don't eat the same things all the time. if you like ceral in the morning, get 4 or 5 boxes, and eat a different one each day. I like to do half one and half another.

Try variety in your lunch too. If you like lunchmeat, get smaller amounts of a variety, and choose ones that are smoked or seasoned. Tuna or PBJ are good choices too.

Back to 189...
I knew it was a bad weekend. + a lot of salty pistachio's and a plate load of pasta last night didn't help.
Oh well, I'll just have to refocus a little.
I know I can run wild a few days, and get right back on the program.

You're doing fine, ash! And you can run a wee wild and get right back!

It's great that you can veer slightly off course and then just resume. I am so VERY impressed with your attitude and will power!


Many times I can't stay focused enough to get back on track.
Once I veer- I think, "Well, I've blown it" and then just give up.

Lately- I've been pretty good about controlling my food intake- I'm still stuck on NOT doing any exercise. This is my biggest obstacle at this point.
I am hoping that when the weather warms a bit, it will inspire me to get outside a move.

189 Again!!!
I was really good this week, and I was expecting a couple pounds loss.
I am running out of February, and hope to at least lose a little more before that!

The last few weeks have been hard to keep focused on eating right. I gained a few pounds back while being idle due to colds running through the family and my boss deciding to retire from work.
I don't intend to look at the scale again for a month or so, but hope with the weather and longer evenings to be outside much more.

Sounds good, ash! The weather here looks like it's creeping into the low 60s .
