[ontosomething]

This weekend was good.

Looking forward to a strong week:

• Tracking
• On plan
• Weighing - weekly notation of weight - stayed the same
• Coach
• Exercising
• Eating seated and mostly mindfully
• Preplanned food this week
• Checked in here

Beck on!

[pirouette]

I have to keep reminding myself that there is a difference between indulgence and treating myself well. Yesterday I overindulged. I do have meals planned for the week. My goal is if it is not planned for then it doesn't go in my mouth. I can do this for one week.

Tuesday Reality Check: How often have you thought "Boy, I'm so glad I ate that extra large dinner!" the next morning? Remember, it isn't easy in the moment but it will be worth it later.

Definitely worth it.

I got used to going to bed hungry and I sleep much better.

Last night I was lying in bed, thinking, "I should go downstairs and get a snack!" What kind of thinking is that? Luckily, I was able to ignore those thoughts and I was happy to have done so this morning.

I've been sticking with the daily weighing and so far my head has not exploded.

Credits:

• daily weighing
• meals planned for the day
• exercised
• will reach out to coach today
• seated meals
• tolerating hunger
• feeling good
• checked in here

Beck on!

[pirouette]

I definitely feel so much better when I wake up hungry.

This weekend's indulgence served as a reminder....

Tips are back!

Tuesday Reality Check: Remember, avoiding the scale has never gotten you to where you want to be. It’s important to prove to yourself that you face the consequences and get on the scale even when you don’t want to. Doing so may help hold you more accountable because you’ll know that you won’t let yourself stick your head in the sand.

Wednesday Sabotage: I don’t want to work on healthy eating right now because I just don’t feel like thinking about it.

Response: Either way I’m going to think about it. When I’m off track, I spend time thinking about needing to get back on track and feeling guilty about my eating. There’s no such thing as ‘not thinking about it.

I'm really working on the daily scale habit. Slowly desensitizing myself and obsessing slightly less about the numbers.

[charlotte21]

I don’t have an issue on stepping on the scale daily since the numbers are lower and coming down.

And I agree about thinking about food and esting clean all the time, whether I do it or not.

Food is mostly planned for the day on DPs.

Exercise is TBD since I got my Covid vaccine yesterday and my arm hurts.

[bonzee]

I haven't been checking in as much lately but I'm still tracking and doing well. Water, steps, activity (0430 strength training M-F anyone?), vitamins, sleep.

I have been going over my calorie plan more days than not, but so far no negative effects.  I will keep it the same nonetheless, espcially since I have a vacation coming up and tracking will be a crap shoot.

[ontosomething]

I have been weighing daily since last week and I feel that it has been helpful. Where sometimes I didn't want to step on the scale because I was afraid that I gained, it is better to step on it each day.

This has also been my downfall in the past, when there has been weight creep, I have avoided the scale and put my head in the sand. It is not a coping strategy that I suggest and am trying to break, once and for all.

[jonik]

Here. Headed to see my DD and SIL (it has been almost 18 months). We will do a lot of celebrating but I will focus on just being with them.

Thursday Think Tip: If you think, “I’m alone so it’s okay to eat [this unplanned food],” remember that your body processes all calories the same whether you’re with 100 people or no people.

[bonzee]

Also here. Doing well.

[ontosomething]

I had a great on plan day. I didn’t get in as much exercise as I would have liked but I’m not going to let that cloud the other good things that happened today.

I have tomorrow off from work and I am looking forward to doing some quality things and spending some time recharging and taking care of myself.

Beck on!

Last day of the month!

Friday Weekend Warm-up: What we THINK will lead to a great weekend is eating whatever we want, in whatever quantity we want, but when we do the opposite – control our eating and stay on track – that’s truly what feels so great.

Eating out of control does not feel good to me any longer. I will celebrate the weekend in different ways that are healthier and will move me towards my goals.

Meditated.
Read cards.
Read ahead in DTS about stress traps.
Commitment to practice hunger tolerance today for the reminder that hunger pangs ebb and flow.
