Doing nothing is very hard to do ... you never know when you're finished.- Leslie Nielsen

I Started SP the end of Jan. 2009. Briefly, I have always had some issues with my weight. I had had some success with diets, most notably WW where I was able to get down to 138 very briefly and settled into 143 comfortably. My lifetime WW weight goal was 153 which was easily bypassed at that time.

Sadly, I made the huge dieters mistake of thinking of it as something with a beginning and an end and once I was no longer tracking all my food and exercise I fell back into old ...

Sadly, I made the huge dieters mistake of thinking of it as something with a beginning and an end and once I was no longer tracking all my food and exercise I fell back into old habits.

So in the years after WW I struggled just to keep from zooming totally out of control.

When I found SP in Jan. I was determined that this was not a diet. A beginning yes....the first day of the rest of my life sort of thing....but no end....this is a healthy lifestyle quest and it has to be habits that last forever. So at this point, I haven't met my weight goal quite yet....I have met a lot of fitness and appearance goals and I have met myself metaphorically and I really like this new friend.

Thanks for your comment on my resolutions blog. When I was in the primary grades in elementary school I used to regularly get check marks on my report card for not maintaining self control. It seems I'll never learn. Thanks for your advice to think fuel and not fill up on junk. This just seems like such a hard lesson!

Well I am watching the 10:00 news and will be going to sleep shortly after....no cake and ice cream today.....I will assume you didn't run today. We did it!!!!!! Didn't we? Will be too busy tomorrow (planting flowers) so I won't have time to think about any cake....have a great weekend. Take care. emoticon

I'm okay with the bike ride, take the necessary precautions. You never know what a new pull on a muscle/ligament might do.
Now I wish I could be working on my yard, but I'll be at a 1/2 day retreat 9:30-2:00 and I forgot to plan food-guess I'll go for a veggie platter again. Man I'm boring.
Next month when we meet, I'm taking a spinach/strawberry /feta salad. Just didn't plan for tomorrow's lunch.
I made my SIL buckeye bark for his birthday gift.
You have a Happy Healthy weekend.
