just returning from the Finger Lakes vacation but I feel I had to get this in! Not the best weekend for losing weight and I am ok with that I did get a flat tire on the way home and I think the journaling and meditation helped me really just deal with it – no frustration, the worst outcome was…

Short post just to remind myself that I need to think of weight loss even when on vacation – it’s tough as will be raining today and the 3 hr hike will now be 20-30 mins at a time avoiding thunderstorms. Hope to at least get some exercise in to offset the eating out.

Today won’t be the hiking day I thought – too much wildfire smoke still in the air making it hard especially for my dog. So calories burnt during these next few days won’t get me to the type of workout I need. This may be an oh well moment – have to live and still plan on some of the…

I was starting to feel the pull of my ‘status quo’ – staying the same, reducing effort as I am busy elsewhere. But then I saw Day 16 on above – I have been at Day 16 many times before but I definitely have not journaled 16 days in a row and definitely have not done a morning routine 16…

Weight 208.4 My scale was giving me some different readings – between 208.0 and 209.0. I saw 208.4 more than once so will land there. Good news is continued progress. But I have started to feel my initial energy about this wane a bit. Getting back to how long this is going to take and sometimes thinking does it really…

Short blog today as I drove home early this morning and am out of my new routine. I am proud of myself for getting this in anyway – even if in the afternoon. No reading today – just continued commitment to eating right and getting my exercise in even if feels like 40+C out there. Today: breakfast: 2 eggs, toast…

I’m glad I found some of the books that I did. All of that started me on this journey but some of them will keep me on it. For some reason I woke up today thinking that this isn’t likely to work and that I will lose weight and then gain it back. What was really going through my head…

I feel like I am gaining some momentum. I had a good day yesterday and made choices aligned to what I want to make on a regular basis. I went to the beach for the afternoon and what normally would involve bringing a drink of some sort – I went ahead to Side Launch and bought non-alcoholic beer to bring…

I am on a streak and am very happy about that. Even into the weekends which has been my achilles heel in terms of staying on track so I will take the pride and win in being consistent. Speaking of consistency, I read a good quote this morning that the only thing that stands between where I am today and…

I always seem to want to sabotage myself. I met a one week goal and it feels like that is sufficient – so these last 2 nights have not been good in terms of eating and drinking. I do need to reframe being here at the chalet from a license to relax and do whatever I want to it being…
