The change has arrive... oh, not THAT change (well, maybe that too), but at the moment, I'm talking about weight loss again.
I struggled last night and this morning with the idea of going to my WW meeting, because I knew that I, again, had not had a loss, BUT, I quickly realized that if I was struggling, then I needed the meeting more than I knew. So I went. A slight gain, not even a pound, but puts me officially up to a number I never want to see, AND I'm back on the program. I mean, seriously putting myself back to the beginning. I am officially five pounds over goal! There. I said it! That may not seem like a lot for some, but to me, it's enough to light a fire under me. That's the number that I never wanted to hit, and I'm there. It took a lot of hard work to get to goal, and I'm not about to throw it all away. I don't care if it's the holiday!
I tried to get myself back on program last week, but when I think about it, honestly, it was only half an effort. Yes, I tracked my points....most of them....started Monday, not Saturday. We had a second Thanksgiving here at our house...just the two of us...on Sunday, including the stuffing and mashed potatoes...way too much of them for two people. Anyway, that's that. It's out of the way, history now.
I am officially shifting my attention a little more towards weight loss goals once again and going back to what works for me. Don't get me wrong. I will still be running (oh, absolutely!), and getting to the gym for workouts and maybe starting a class, but I MUST start paying more attention to the new mini goals I have set. First one, getting back to goal weight.
I am restocking the tool bag as follows:
- Returning to the WW message boards and finding some new ones to spark my interest.
- Reaching out to more people around me to help keep me focused.
- Making a big pot of WW 0-point veggie soup tomorrow. Wanted to do it today, but got a little distracted by a day trip to the antique store.
- Treating the weekends more like any other day on program rather than the usual weekend splurge (or splurge weekend).
- Drink my water out of my new WW mug.
- Get lots of rest.
- Track my points.
So the big question today, any suggestions on how you get back on track and motivated again? I am determined to do this. I know what I want and I intend to get it!
