Boy did I head in the wrong direction..... It is what it is and there's nothing I can do about it now but move forward and figure out what I need to do in order to get back on track again. I'm really struggling with having just one really good day.…

That's the way to do it. Don't let a night of regret turn into weeks.

Liz, Boy can I relate to your post. I've decided it's ALL mental for me, and maybe that's true of everyone. But I get in these cycles where I swear I work so very hard to sabotage all my good intentions and efforts. Sometimes this happens late in e…

I'm up to 5 losing weeks in a row. It's been far, far too long for that to be the case - more often it's been going in the wrong direction. I was down 1.8 lbs this week and I'm pretty happy about that. I've got a few things going on this week that I…

I love that sore feeling you get when you start back up in the gym. It's sort of the body's reminder for a day or two that you are being good to it - at least that's how I look at it.

Way, way off track

Boy did I head in the wrong direction..... It is what it is and there's nothing I can do about it now but move forward and figure out what I need to do in order to get back on track again. I'm really struggling with having just one really good day. At this point one would be a great thing. I think I've gotten out of the really negative cycle I get into where I eat too much then beat myself up over it only to then comfort myself with food, yadda, yadda, yadda. I know I'm not alone in knowing that… Continue

weigh in

I'm up to 5 losing weeks in a row. It's been far, far too long for that to be the case - more often it's been going in the wrong direction. I was down 1.8 lbs this week and I'm pretty happy about that. I've got a few things going on this week that I'm worried about - the first happened the night before weigh-in, we had a cookout/meeting at our house. I did well in some areas and not so great in others. On the pro side - I did stay away from all the chips and munchy typ things, I used low fat Bis… Continue

Yummy warm spinich salad

I totally stole this idea from a local yummy bistro near my office but it's soo good, I thought I'd share. I used spray olive oil; no more than necessary to cook some onions, red, yellow, and orange peppers, mushrooms, and both squash and zuccini. I also cooked one piece of bacon. While that was all still warm and sitting in a big bowl I sauted in the same pan a bag of baby spinich leaves for a couple of minutes until warm and yummy.

I built the salad by first adding all the drained spinich on… Continue

Weigh in

After my first week doing WW instead of the lower carb plan I lost 1.6 lbs. At first I was disappointed as I feel like I missed out on the second bigger than normal weight loss and in the past I've lost an average of 2.5 lbs per week over time so this felt a little low, but I'm still thrilled. After giving it some thought though two things occured to me - 1) I've had a loss each of the last four weeks and I can't think of the last time that happened so that's huge for me and I'm very proud of my… Continue

Thank you for the encouraging words on my blog the other day! I just started making goals for myself. I initially started making 30 day goals which worked for me but I found it hard to stay accountable. I think making weekly goals will give me an opportunity to reflect back on any success or failures (that is such a negative word but I can't think of anything else) for the week. Love the bumblebees. I'll check back in with you!

Thanks so much for the advice! My old boss happens to be out of town until late tonight, so I will either draft an email to send to both of them, or I will go visit her tomorrow and try and work things out. Fingers crossed I get the accounting job without burning any bridges in the process!
