    Had a bit of an off week - was thrown by putting on weight in my weekly weigh in, even though I'd actually done well throughout the week.

    That demotivated me, and then I came down with a cold which resulted in me not being able to exercise and comfort eating.

    There were also 2 days where I didn't really have control over my food, and ended up over-indulging a lot.

    The stupid thing is, despite all that, I actually LOST weight in my weigh in this morning....! There is absolutely no way I can have actually lost weight this week, so that suggests that last week I actually HAD lost weight and that the scale was artificially high (due to random water fluctuation probably).

    The lesson learnt is - don't get demotivated by the scale! I thought that restricting weigh in to weekly would reduce random fluctuation but clearly it doesn't take it away entirely so I need to not let my motivation be affected by it.

    The other lesson is that I need to stick to my routine of logging my commitments in the morning. That was working really well for me and set me up for the right choices later on. I got out of that habit last week and the result was that I started eating like a pig again.

    So with that in mind - today's commitments!

    - log everything I eat
    - stay within calories
    - no unhealthy snacks
    - no alcohol
    - dance/exercise class after work
    - take a 30+ min lunch break, ideally outside
    - listen to music to help me relax
    - catch up with stress course notes

    So, I went for one week on holiday and put back on all the weight I had lost in the preceding month or so. This despite it being a "mountain biking and yoga retreat". There was disappointingly little mountain biking though, and I ended up with every afternoon free and basically sat around eating. And then I tried all the sweet pastries available in Portugal... :s:'(

    First day back yesterday was then also utterly disastrous, so I am hoping you guys can help me get back on track. At least just for today. I need some encouragement - please help! :(

    JFT 20.9.16
    - only 1 bread roll and piece of fruit for breakfast
    - no snacking between breakfast & lunch
    - take a sensible lunch packet
    - no snack except fruit and/or yogurt in the afternoon
    - sensible, healthy dinner, no dessert
    - track all food here

    You can do it! You have enough motivation to start, and that's all you need: if one day goes badly, you have an opportunity the next day to start again. Just for today, believe you can do it :)

    Sept 20 - tuesday. If I stick with my meal plans, calorie counts, and DO NOT GIVE UP, I will be at my goal weight by next April. Next April will be our 40th wedding anniversary. What better gift to give to myself than to be healthy!

    So JFT,
    1. It is OK to keep starting over! Success comes in small baby steps. Sometimes we go backwards, but the main thing is to keep trying.
    2. Look at the goals I HAVE accomplished, not the ones I have not.
    3. drink water. I think water makes such a big difference, not only in how we feel, but in helping loss weight. So 8 glasses of water today
    4. exercise. Going to power wash the siding, but this does not count. Get to the gym, or a long walk tonite - no matter how tired I feel!
    5. NEVER GIVE UP!
