Hocus Focus

Image
So I got up and weighed myself this morning. One pound down toward my goal. Three weeks ago, I was at least 5 down. I'm happy to see it go down. But it doesn't count until I see it down for at least 3 days in a row.  Now how can I keep it going? Don't celebrate by eating something "good." Punctuate it by exercising today. Write down progress and struggles. Keep focused on the goal. This is a matter of knowing the target, and staying focused on it. How do you stay on it?  Let me know right now in the comments below.

Trying to Find Mr. Mean

Are you mental?  I am. I had a good day at the "eating office" yesterday. I really did--a patting myself on the back kind of good day. Maybe that's where I messed up. I was okay until the sun went down.  It's like I had to stuff stuff in my mouth (it's supposed to say stuff stuff; go read it again). Sunset = my Mr. Hyde comes out. Mr. Mean (my inner friend who reminds me to eat for health and weight loss) needs encouragement. He needs affirmation. Negative thinking puts him off and he hides. I especially need him at night.  Mr. Mean, Mr. Mean where are you. Hey, I'm not even going to tell you what the scale read this morning. It's just information, right.  Okay, I'll tell. 190. It's just information.

It is easy to lose focus whenever something changes in life.  I expect to travel again this summer, so I'll be better prepared. What I did right:  1. Stocked the car with apples and mandarin oranges. 2. Got out at rest stops and exercised. What needed improvement: 1. Put the trail mix where it is inconvenient for the driver. 2. Go all Mr. Mean when ordering food in restaurants. 3. Keep a food log while on the road. What we monitor, we manage. Result: I didn't keep the weight loss from the previous week. Back up to 187. That trail mix and hours of sitting made it a rich environment for putting on extra weight.  After the trip it is very important, since the Mr. Mean attitude...
