I'm actually Proud of Myself!

May 05, 2010

Yes, I can say that and really mean it.   The old me would give up after a few days of unexplained weight gain.   Now I think through it and realize that these things will happen and it will eventually work itself out if I stay on track.  There is a logic to my thinking now.  I noticed the past few days that I was "pushing" the limits of my band and eating until I was so full I felt like I used to after a huge thanksgiving meal.  I also noticed that it was my mind playing games with me again - "of course your still hungry - have some more veggies!"    The two good things I did?   1.   I was only eating veggies - not junk! and number 2 - I have stopped this behavior by realizing it.   I stay on this board, I listen to my friends, and I realize that I AM a strong person - I AM dedicated to this new lifestyle - I AM not going to give up!   And yes this was my new mantra for today as I took matters into my own hands and started the Plateau Buster diet.   I joined a group doing it - I will be accountable every day for the next ten days - I will make the changes necessary to stay on track.   I'm still part of the fitness challenge - we are participating in week three.   I had slacked off for a few days but today I actually left work early came home and did two hours on my stationary bike.   In fitness challenge world that  equals 8 miles!   After my 3 oz supper I did another hour - just because I was really worked up so that is 12 miles for the fitness challenge.   It also satisfies my half hour of required exercise for the plateau busters diet requirements.

I'm also well on my way to reaching my goal for the SATC2 weight challenge.  I pledged to go from 345 to 320 in nine weeks.   As of week 5 I was at 16 pounds.   I am actually looking forward to reaching my first 100 pounds.  It will make the second 100 pounds not seem so bad - lol. 
I AM strong - i AM determined - I AM not going to give up -  Yeah me!
