It is October, time to face the truth!

Monday, October 01, 2012

Okay, I have never gained weight here at Spark before! It has been a rough summer personally and I have faced a number of challenges, illness, and trouble with my husband's health and well being! This is what in my past would lead to stress eating, weight gain and anxiety and bad self esteem! I had not weighed since June!! Well, being October 1 st I thought I needed to face the truth on what was going on! I weighed in August and had totally maintained my weight and was amazed, as that is as big a deal as losing in my book! But I still did not record it, I wamted to record a loss! So, today I got on and gained 2.6 pounds! Although I was not thrilled, I see this as a victory, none the less! I actually knew in Early Sept. that I gained this...but could not bring myself to admit it! But if I can't face it here that means I am hiding, being ingenuous and that is not what I want to be! So, seeing the gain was the same after month and not more, I realized this, too, is a victory! I don't think I ever have managed this before! Four months is a long time and I had a minor manageable gain! I do not need to "get back on the wagon" or "start again", I just need to get back to tracking my food, and making sure water, fruits and veggies are back in my menu plans with a dominance! People do not beat yourself up! Learn, see victories, move on and stand proud!
Happy October to all of you! We can do this!

    You can do it!! As you said, tracking and exercise are the key. Eat healthy and don't stress over it. We are all struggling, especially now this time of year. Keep active and have a plan each day.

    That's amazing! That means you made a healthy lifestyle change and stuck to it even through adversity! That means you are a healthy person with healthy eating habits!!!

I would do a flip for you, but can't do that just yet. :) Congratulations!

    Wow, this is what I do. Even today, i thought, "Hmm..I need to weigh myself, but I think I may have gained…I will wait until next week." That's pretty counterintuitive, because I have no idea if I have gained or lost. I can't really tell when i gain or lose and I need to weigh myself just to know. And you're right, your weight gain is very small and manageable. emoticon Stand proud!!

    That is an awesome victory Mary, especially considering the stress you've been under. You are doing an amazing job. And you have the right attitude too, not getting on and off the wagon, but simply making adjustments, and knowing exactly what you need to adjust. That is a definite victory as well! You truly understand what living healthy is all about, in good times or bad. I'm so proud of you!

Take care, you are always in my prayers!

Hugs, and love,

    I've never really viewed my journey in a stopping and starting fashion. Just more like highs and lows, but always moving in a forward direction... some times it just happens slower and other times faster. I'm happy to hear you've maintained only gained a marginal amount. That's something that can easily be overcome and you can definitely head back down the path to good health!

    I believe that a 2.5 gain over four months of stress and illness is really an enormous victory. It is indicative that your relationship with food has really changed. I think it is when we are faced with difficult situations where we normally would turn to food but choose not to that we really can see that we have made enormous progress. The small gain in weight is nothing compared to the victory of habits changed. So I am going to congratulate you for the life changes that you have made that you have integrated so well.
Hope you have a wonderful October.

    Right on! I'm going to adopt that attitude, I just recently "started again" and I've been feeling like a failure, but considering everything I've dealt with over the past few months, which were extraordinary events, I've done WAY better than I ever would have in the past. My gain was a bit more than yours, but it's under 10 pounds ~ and comparatively speaking with my past, it's nothing to beat myself up about.
Good blog :)

My progress & Happy, Healthy June!

Friday, June 01, 2012

Hi SparkFriends!
The month of May was highly stressful for my husband and I. Medical issues, job issues, and challenges to just keep it all together. In my past this would have been a real trigger to eat like crazy. I am proud to say, I did not do that. I did have more "special" selections of foods, however, it never triggered an eating episode and I often made sure I cut out other things to be sure not to lose control. This is the true "lifestyle change"! I did not have that famous dialog in my head of "I will start over tomorrow, I screwed up today", etc. That is change and freedom! I am amazed that if I choose to eat pizza and wings...I still counted the slices and number of wings to record, I paid attention to how full I felt, and stopped before I was stuffed! I also rarely eat the leftovers and the control I have learned means as much to me as the weight loss. This means I will not be gaining and losing and in that dreaded cycle that has been my life! I keep in mind to eat fruits and veggies...if I do indulge in something I try to add a salad...for the healthy aspect but also to fill me up, so I still have something special but do not just eat that! And water...although I still struggle with the 8 total, I am no longer drink soda. I actually do not like diet cola's at all...even question how I drank them in the past!? I no longer live with a salt shaker in my hand and this was what I thought was impossible! I could literally eat salt! I picked it off pretzels and threw the pretzels away!!! I love these changes and know they all lead to health. I am off my acid reflux prescription medication, I am on a very low dose of blood pressure meds now, and I have lowered my diabetes meds...this is awesome!!!
I have started weighing in monthly! It helps keep me focused on lifestyle change and body change. I weighed in today and I lost 3 pounds in May...not alot, but I am disabled...in a wheelchair if I leave the house and walk very little and with a cane in the house. I need double knee replacement and the weight loss will enable me to have successful, safe surgery and easier rehab after it. So, I am pleased with the number. That is a total of 44 pounds since Aug last year! My personal total it is 107 pounds since I was weighed in the hospital when I had pneumonia and breathing issues and had to be admitted to the hospital. I am hoping to lose another 40 pounds and then pursue the surgery. That is the weight I was married at 18 years ago this month! I remember how well I was able to move and, although I will still need more weight loss, is reasonable weight. And the fact I will be able to move around again...I will get a boost for weight loss. I can't imagine the joy of walking around the block or being able to go grocery shopping!!!
I would like to take this time to thank my SparkFriends for their support and encouragement! I have no words for how much it means and how important you are to me! I think of you daily and wish for you the very best.
I wish you all success on your journey and hope you are also making progress and keeping positive!
Love & Hugs,
Mary emoticon

The things that you mentioned: the dialogue (screwed up today! back on it tomorrow!) I think that MOST of us can absolutely relate with. And I love it that you mentioned that wonderful trick of filling up on salad, before the hot wings and pizza!

You are such a wonderful, good person. I truly wish I lived next to you. I would do your toe nails, brush your hair, cheer you on. I truly am pleased that you are getting healthier, and I pray for your continued success on this journey to walking again.

I am going to be 53 this year, and although I'm under 200 pounds, have problems walking when my weight gets too high. I can do it, and do it well, but there is pain, stiffness...I walk as though I'm on stumps, if you know what I mean. We will both get healthy this year. This is OUR year!!!

What you have accomplished is so wonderful for your well being.
I can hear the pride and joy in your words as you describe how you have overcome some of your previous habits.
Moving along and striving to get to the point where you can have the knee replacements is a very strong motivational reason to work as hard and diligent as I know you have been.
I can't be more happy for you.
Stay positive, keep believing you can and you will.

    Oh Mary, you have accomplished so much and you are truly living a healthy lifestyle. The progress you have made is awesome, the habits that you have kicked are even more awesome. You have achieved so much and you are so close to your goals. I'm so proud of you, you really are an inspiration. Despite your hurdles, you have come so far and accomplished so much. Doesn't it feel great to be able to have your wings and be able to stop when satisfied. This is very exciting to me, that I don't have to eat healthy every meal, but I do like you and add a salad.

You are such a positive influence on your Sparkfriends, and you are very uplifting and supportive too. Congrats on all of your achievements, and thank you for being such a wonderful person, and great friend! Hugs and love, Keli

THE LIFE GAME

Saturday, April 28, 2012

Okay, so I went to answer someone on a message board and realized I had to jump over here and do it as a blog, as I was onto something. This diet vs lifestyle thing. I got it...it is a game!!! The game is LIFE and you play it everyday...and you will "for all days". I am saying you play the numbers! You want to stay within certain ranges in certain categories (you know...tracking in calories, carbs, protein, sodium, fat). And in those categories you will try to include a certain number of fruits and vegetables! Check off the number of waters you give your body each day. You can win this game!!! You can earn "prizes"...fit into a new size, fit in a chair, have space between you and the steering wheel in the car, wear a size you have never worn, have your kids arms fit all the way around you, not be out of breath at the stop of the stairs, maintain your weight loss and not have to have two sets of clothes, and many more! You can do this...and you play it each day. Each day effects the next. If you mess up and eat something not planned (not bad, I said not planned), then you put it on the tracker and remember you need to go back on track right now...so you are not way off, so the next day you are not trying to make up for unplanned foods. It is a new start with each FOOD selection...you are always in play! Hey Friends, this is a game! You can do it! PLAY & WIN! There are prizes! Remember, it doesn't end...it is a LIFE GAME! If you mess up, it does matter...but just stay calm and carry on...don't go crazy and say, "well, I blew it, so I should just eat the whole bag of cookies, add ice cream, and what the hell, let's go out to dinner and order whatever I want"! No, no, no, that makes you go back way to many steps, or "tracks", so simply say No! Go to the tracker, put it in, and go from there...you may find the three cookies, that could have lead to an entire bag (and you know it is only the first few that really taste good), didn't even put you over the counts at the end of the day! As you move on you may realize if you trade your planned higher calorie snack for one of a few fresh veggies you are already back on track! Look around, think about it, PLAY THE GAME!!!! YOU WILL BE THE WINNER!!!

    Oh, I like this analogy. It is really spot on!!! And it is very obvious that the people on Spark who do play by the rules in this lifelong game win life long rewards. Valuable rewards. Lifelong life enhancing rewards.
I think playing a game sounds a lot more appealing then changing a lifestyle. At one time or another we were all game players whether during recess or on weekends. It is a lot more fun to think of this as a game. And the rules are very clear. I guess the question that remains is whose turn is it, anyway? Now that really is the question. Hope it is everyone's turn on bat who is reading this blog right now.
Good luck.

  Agreed! I have been fortunate most of my life and never had to worry about dieting. Life can change anytime without warning and it has for me.

I have never been a snacker but used smoking as my vice instead. Now I don't do either but there has been no changes. I have to step it up.

So it is about choices. Do you chose to be the same? or do you want to move forward? Together we can and will move forward because if you don't move forward you get left behind.

As I used to tell my son.."only you can prevent forest fires" Now a days I am telling myself that more and more.

    So sorry to hear that you are down and out with those pesky allergy and cold bugs.
rest and the proper medication, drink lots of fluid will help you get back on your feet.
The country is experiencing one of the worst allergy seasons in a long time. i have seen my allergist doctor and am already taking medicine to help ward off my terrible time with so many allergies.
Cold you can't prevent. They are passed around and you can only take things to make the symptoms less uncomfortable. No cure for the common cold. But laryngis , you could need some help there. Usually a good antibiotic is needed.
Don't put off the doctor or clinic visit till it gets worst. better safe than sorry.
I will send you some get well vibes and lots of love.

    One day at a time (or one hour at a time, or 5 minutes at a time)-- YOU CAN DO IT!

    Sorry to hear about your stress and life difficulties. I am on the Chair Exercise team too. Good that you reached out for help! I think SP is such a great site with such understanding, sweet people. We all understand all to well what we have to go through sometimes-it has helped me through a lot for myself. Hang in there, hope all works out for you! emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon

  I have been in that place. Now I tell myself, tomorrow is a new day. You never know what amazing, wonderful thing can happen. And then I keep my eye out for SOMETHING. There's usually at least one bright spot to come through and encourage you. And yeah, God is free, keep turning it over to Him. I'll pray for you tonight.
