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…

In part of my daily reading I read a chapter that reminded me that this is a process and if I focus on the distance between where I am and where I want to be, it can be demotivating. I need to focus on taking a step at a time and thinking about the small mini-goal that is on the…

Weight 209.2 Difference (1.6)! Cumulative Difference (1.6) I feel very good about having lost more than my one pound goal! Will start there Reflecting on the week: I got 4 workouts in I had 2 dry days of no alcohol I ate meals that I prepared all week – did not order in and did not eat out I did…

So I didn’t do the workout last night. I had the time but was too tired from waking up early that day. Lesson learned – I should have fit it in at lunch. Or I need a new mindset when it comes to working out in the evening – the just get it done even if it is a minimum…

This is a day that I can prove to myself that when my routine gets upended, I can still do what I plan to do. I was successful in doing quite a bit of cooking yesterday to set me up this week and into next week – the freezer is a good friend! So I need to take advantage of…

It’s a Sunday and I am sitting down to start the day off right by adding this post. That’s already progress. A book that I am using to help me through these changes states that to find our purpose we have to identify our internal weaknesses and overcome them. Will feel infinitely more powerful if we can master ourselves –…

Action encourages action – I need to remember that. As I knew, I was out late last night with some friends. While my eating yesterday was pretty good and I did my workout, having drinks with friends is going to negate that progress. Not that I am going to give up on going out – but I will have to…
