Congratulations, Patty! That's great.
For me, today was a bit of a challenge, but I did reasonably well. Spent the whole day at a conference, meaning food everywhere you turn. I had a piece of nut bread of some kind during the morning break, but I managed to pass up cookies at lunch, then chocolate-covered strawberries and brownies at the afternoon break. Stuck with salad and fruit for lunch, too -- and I ate it very slowly, putting my fork down with every bite.
Tomorrow, another half-day at the conference. So the plan is to eat a good breakfast and pack my own snack for the mid-morning break.
Well yesterday except for the no late night munching that was the good part bad part no exercise. But tonight went for a belt test in Karate and did very well now I am a purple belt in the Kyokushin Karate that is a fifth level in this type of Karate. So note top bad and it hasn't been a year yet so I'm happy with that result.

The honeymoon phase wore off after the first week. I lost five pounds that first week and .4 this week. I keep trying to remind myself that I'm not on a diet. And I am not in a hurry to lose weight. But it was fun to have that 5 pounds come off so quickly.
Anyway, I have been doing well with posting, okay with the water. I've been short one or two glasses a few days.
Overall though, I feel that I am much more aware of what I am eating and how much water I am drinking so it's a good thing.

90 Day Challenge Goal: 8 glasses water and post plan and actual daily.
Ditto on the more off days than on. I seem to have no self control lately, no matter what I try. Screwey schedules, like yesterday and today only make it worse.
Life is like a roller coaster, with lots of ups and downs, but the curves, spirals, loops and corkscrews are what make life interesting.
I have been having more off days than on lately. I know that part of the problem is all my negative self-talk. I am frustrated and angry with myself and the world right now. I have my last prelim exam tomorrow and after that things should relax a little.
Until the exams are done I am just going to try to stay reasonably on track. Once I finish that one tomorrow, it's back to WW. I found a Tuesday meeting that should work with my schedule. I'm tired of my own excuses not to be on plan.

I posted yesterday that I was going to get in my remaining 6 servings fruit/veg and 8 glasses water...well, didn't happen, BUT I did go out for a 30 minute walk, so I am pleased overall. Today, totally with it! Already at 3 servings fruit, need to do veggies the rest of the day I think, and am at @ 6 glasses water. Surprisingly(I absolutely hate to workout)I have the urge to walk! I am trying to be finished working early today, around 4 so I can get outside, it is beautiful today only in the 70's, nice breeze. I really have to plan for the weekend, which is when my brain decides it wants to eat anything as long as it is over 7,000 calories/serving! Jill
Summer Challenge Goals: 1) Walk 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week 2) Plan weekly menus
I'm needing to recommit to my goals more publically. We still have more "events" coming up this summer and I haven't seen my maintenance range in much too long.
What that means to me: 1. Switch from maintenance calories back to weight loss calories for my food plan regardless of the event. 2. Absolutely no excuses I HAVE to stay on plan 3. No wine (or beer or anything else alcoholic) until I'm back in maintenance 4. Don't let myself get over hungry - which means that I need to eat dinner with dd and not try to wait until 7:30 to eat with dh. (He's already on board with this change).
The biggest challenge to this plan will be this weekend at my parents' house. My mom is making a birthday dinner for my dh and dad. I know the overall menu will be healthy - boiled lobster and steamed clams (and I use lemon instead of butter) but I'm sure my dad will break out some nice wine from his cellar and there will be tempting desserts. I will not drink and just have a sliver of dessert.
Getting back into maintenance is necessary for my sanity and is worth more to me than any wine or sweet.
Out of our beliefs are born deeds; out of our deeds we form habits; out of our habits grows our character; and on our character we build our destiny.
Although I did some good exercise yesterday, I never got to my core work. I can still meet my weekly goal is I do it the next 4 days.
I think that I am getting ready for school to start. Dd is wanting LOTS of interaction with me and I am feeling edgy- not totally off, but not completely on either. Last night we had dinner at friends and they invited h er to stay the night. (Sophia best friend is their daughter.) I had NO idea how much I needed the break. Dh and I had time to realx and I have the morning to do household things without the help of an 8YO.
