Have a great month

    A fresh start, indeed. It is time for me to finally break off this plateau. I've lost & found the same five pounds so many times, it ceased to be funny several months ago. The potato chip challenge is just the first step. I've been weighing & measuring food quantities again. The upside is my guesstimates were pretty close.

    I might just break down and buy myself a scale for home use. I've never been one for weighing myself as I always figured it was just one metric of many... but since it's not changing with the previous regime, it's time to change things up. I'm thinking weekly at the start... and if things don't turn around, then it'll be daily.

    Someone mentioned a plank challenge. I've been working on core regularly but I dearly despise planking... so I might have to start doing some. sigh...

    I do some yoga at home to maintain my mood issue, but after an upper body workout on weight machines at the gym I always feel up.
    I hope to figure out a way to get to the gym more often.

    I'm ready for a fresh start with a new commitment. I'm going to focus on successes in one day at a time through the entire January. Positive mind sets with exercising four times a week at least. I want the exercising to be a variety of ways and not stuck with one type of exercising. I need variety to succeed. LET'S GOOOOOO!

    I'm going to try to focus on my binge issues. One meal at a time, more like 15 min at a time - hold off eating for 15 min, and if I can do that, I try for 15 min more.

    Thanks! Not too bad so far. Just a few cans of Pringles on the way home from work. It's such a habit, wanting to munch in the car after work. Like I'm de-stressing from the day. Much like when I used to smoke cigs - always want to light up in the car.
