One of the Healthy Reflections entries really got me thinking. It was about living in the moment. I know I should do that, but I most definitely don't. It seems like I'm always planning for the "next thing" and never enjoying the place I'm at. On top of that, everything has to be "perfect" before I make my move.

i really loved this blog. i spent about 4 months collecting info. about weight loss and diet before beginning and then one day, i just said....enough is enough. i think it is just easier to collect than to act. information isnt so scary until it is time to do something with it, you know?

You weren't kidding - we're writing about the same sort of things! I sometimes get really...should we say morbid?...about all of this and say that I must be waiting to have a heart attack or stroke to take it as seriously as I should. I'm adding you as a friend so I can follow your progress. I know you can do it!! Report Inappropriate Comment |

Oh my gosh, you could have been writing this about me! I'm not a librarian, but I am a total information collector, and I do think I use it as a form of procrastination! I can prepare to do something forever, but when it comes down to actually doing it- it's really difficult! Anyway, being aware of this tendency is half the battle, right? I hope so.

Lol, you sound like me! Research research research, and no action. In fact, hubby and I were talking about this last night. I was saying to him 'we need to make a decision about this, so we can move forward one way or another". He told me I needed to make up MY mind, otherwise we would get no where. Ha! Pick one baby step, and act on it. You can do this!

Wow, you sound like me. What am I waiting for? Why am I doing this? What is the easy way out? We need to take the first step on the journey. Once we've taken the first step than the second step will be a little easier.

This has been a rough week. I had several non-optional social engagements this past week and next week will be worse because I'm going to a conference where there is food everywhere and none of it is very healthful.
I was up 2 pounds this week. I know this is pretty small in the grander scheme of things and that it's going to be rocky sometimes, but I feel like I'm losing momentum. I am a real creature of habit and when something throws me off of my routine, like having to take people to dinner for work or going to social events where I have no control of the kinds of food available, I seem to really panic and forget everything I've learned. I feel like I should be over this by now and I am very disappointed. I start to get scared that I'm going slip into my old ways and negate all of the progress I've made.
So, I'm going to re-read some of my saved articles and The Spark and try to get my mojo back!

It happened to me, too. I like habit and routine, and when mine was thrown off course in Nov. due to events beyond my control, I never got back into the swing of things. I just restarted: reset my goals and my tracker. A fresh start is sometimes what's needed. Note: I waited until after my convention to do this. I didn't want a fresh start and then instantly fail!

when i get "fuzzy" like that i usually try to concentrate on my exercise OR my food intake--whichever seems to come easier (usually for me its exercise). if i focus really hard on one thing and do it really well for several days my enthusiasm comes back. its a natural thing for our interest to have some peaks and valleys. keep posting on here and going through the motions. it will come back to you. hang on. all the best Report Inappropriate Comment |

Conferences are hard. Sometimes taking a bit of food is almost the only way to stay awake when your brain has had enough. Try and get some walking in, I would say. That might help. But also know, you may weigh a tad heavy after the conference, but you can get right back to your routine afterwards. It is only for a short time.

Also, call the restaurant, or use the internet, to find out, what their menu is, what what the nutritional values, of the different choices are, and make your choice, at home, that way you don't need to worry about it, when you get there! Glad you thinking ahead and trying to figure this out. You can do this, one day, one meal at a time. Hugs Linda Report Inappropriate Comment |
