VSG Maintenance Group

Not much to post, but feel like I need to maintain my regular check ins to stay connected. I am noticing I have a tendency towards working in fits and spurts.... 
Have had fantastic workouts this week. Am super pleased by that.
Not weighing daily has proven to be very difficult for me to do. I continued to weigh daily this week. LOL! Didn't help the scale any, but I did continue the practice.
Big observation of the week: Eating with an overall health consciousness, but allowing daily empty calories seems to keep me in a maintenance mode. Up and down in a two pound range. Still down 6-8 pounds from the start of the ACE (After Covid Era). Without a focus on weight loss, I'm not going to lose weight.
My chiropractor is marketing a weight loss program. I got sucked into hearing about it. It has supplements I'm interested in, but I don't need another program. I don't need another program. I don't need another program. I am working on convincing myself of this... I need whatever I do to be the Peps Program for Healthy and Sustainable Weight Loss....
Zoom.... Plastic Surgeons must be raking it in right now. I have already decided that I need a mini facelift. I'm doing it once I have lost enough weight. I also need more hair plugs, botox and some filler.... See what I mean? Way too much time on Zoom! It's the best thing I think the cosmetic industry has seen in years. I am much more conscientious of my cosmetic self care than I have ever been. It's a hoot.
Well, speaking of Zoom, it's time for me to Zoom yet again. #3 is a charmer. It's math!
Happy Friday to all.
I agree that you have put together your own plan, and it has brought you to a place where you have some peace with food. But really, there is no magic program for any of us. I wish there was. I guess each of us has to work out our insert name program for healthy and sustainable weight loss, as you so aptly named it.
Kayaking was just what I needed. We took it slow, and went down a beautiful little channel that brought us to a less busy area. (80 degrees on a Friday afternoon, lots of Minneapolis peeps making the most of it). I stretched out in my kayak, and told DH he could explore the lake, I would just rest. And I did. I floated in and out of the sun and shade, listened to the birds, smelled the loamy soil from the wooded shore, heard bass jump... And I breathed in and thought, I am me again. I meditated a bit and saw fear, despair, cancer float up to the skys. I bobbed gently in the water, and even dozed a bit. Lovely, lovely day.
