Focusing on the positive
Oct 13 2008 12:54

I should be full of motivation and pride today - but as usual the not-always-accurate-feedback of the scale hit me blindside and is making it very hard to see how good I am doing.

I did the longest hike of my life this weekend.  I not only made it, but I fared much better than Josh and he is in great shape.  Also, I am barely sore today - no more than usual after a typical leg workout.

I logged ahead the entire weekend for the first time in who knows how long.  I stuck to my plan friday (except for a small wendy's frosty) and I stuck mostly to my plan Saturday.  I ate reasonably well Sunday too.  In short, I stayed completely away from binges all weekend for the first time in awhile and I didn't feel deprived at all.

I have only 1321 calories planned for today.  So far I have not been too hungry, my lunch was very satisfying and the dinner I have planned sounds great. 

I have a workout planned tonight - but I can skip it guilt free because of the 2400 extra calories I burned this weekend - which means I get to work on my halloween costume. 

This is only week two of my new plan - and week one (except for the scale) worked great!  The motivational messages I had sent automatically to my email inbox were even more helpful than I expected.

I am very proud of my new plan, which I think will really work, because it is really very motivating to have a different theme every day with motivational messages and reminders sent automatically to my inbox.

According to my new plan, I can look forward to a treat on Wednesday.  I'm excited already for my guilt free treat.  In fact, with my new plan, I can fit in a small treat whenever I need it as long as I steer clear of binges.

My TTOM is coming soon - so my weight will probably go down.

None of the challenges coming up next week are very difficult for me.

I am making a halloween costume which I will look GREAT it, because of the weight I've lost.

This is the first pattern I've ever sewed where I can use full seam allowances because all of my measurements are on the chart for the first time ever.

I had to re-measure myself because I didn't have any idea what my measurements were since they have changed so much.

My trend has been going up only because the plateau what so discouraging that I slipped a little more and a little more often than usual.

My plateau has broken, which means that now my weight can go down.

Kicking my dt. pepsi habit is going great.
