Still being consistent.
Still being moderate.
Already wishing I could quit. But I won't.

Here I go again.
BE CONSISTENT.
BE MODERATE.

  

Be the Tortoise!

Slow and steady wins the race, right? Be consistent and moderate and I will eventually hit my goal!!!

I weigh 155.8 today, which means I lost exactly 3 pounds in one day of being back on program - on my new MODERATE program. You always lose a lot the first day. I don't even WANT to lose the rest quickly, because I would much rather have it STAY OFF. I must keep telling myself this until I truly believe it! I mean, I do believe already...but actions speak louder than words, right?

Last night my friends had leftover pizza - thick crust with cheese, pepperoni, and sausage!! I didn't have any. I also didn't have a drink. And I did my ab video when we got home even though it was 11:30 p.m. And I did it again this morning. Yay!

It's crazy, but I swear I already look thinner than I did yesterday. I am wearing the same jeans I wore yesterday and there is much less of a roll hanging out over the top today. (Yuck - I don't want ANY roll hanging out over the top! Nasty!!)

Another TMI alert - this is weird, but my TOM actually DIDN'T start yesterday. It was just some spotting or something. I hope I'm still normal.

Yes, slow and steady wins the race. I keep telling my self the same thing. congrats to you for not eating the pizza and drinking. I know it is very hard at the moment to say NO but, it is worth the felling afterwards when you are proud that you made the right choice. Be Blessed. Lisa Report Inappropriate Comment

Long-Term Goals Reset

Saturday, March 08, 2008

Second blog entry of the day! Since my last one, I went to the grocery store, ate the rest of the food I'd planned today, and did 41 minutes on the elliptical at level 8, about 4.5 miles and over 600 calories. Right now I'm having a glass of water. It's funny how I approach food differently when I'm really motivated. I make eating an EVENT where I force myself to slow down, have sips of water between bites, and notice how full I feel when I'm done even if the fullness doesn't last very long.

TMI alert, but I want to keep track of this stuff...2nd TOM since I stopped taking the pill started today. I went back through my blog entries until I found the last one, and it was exactly one month ago - Feb. 8 - 29 days ago. Still, I wasn't expecting it today. I wonder if the time of the month has anything to do with how much willpower I have to stick to my program??

Anyway, as the title of this blog entry suggests, I reset my long-term goals just now on SP. It's set at losing 1 lb per week until I reach 130, which would take me until the end of September. The point is not that I want to lose exactly 1 lb per week, or hitting it by a particular date. The point is that I need to do some long term moderate weight management. Get rid of the ups and downs. Stay consistent with being moderate. Do this long enough and I will eventually be where I want to be.
