    What is everyone doing to prepare for the week ahead? I'm going to try to plan and pre-log my meals and snacks for the week so that I have a better chance of staying on track.

    Hope everyone has a great week!

    I'm in! I've prepared my meals for the week ahead. The only possible 'problematic' area will be the fact that I am off to a hen party this weekend which will involve a lot of drinking on the Saturday night so fingers crossed I can stay disciplined and not let it break my stride - good luck everyone!

    Food prep sounds a good idea. I've written out a week-long plan of meals, so will do the prep tonight. Starting T25 again too, as I'm never as hungry after exercise.

    Also, I need to focus on not letting stupid/nasty people derail me or put me in a bad mood (which inevitably leads to brooding or eating...)

    Anyone have any positive thinking tips?

    Not so much a positive thinking tip here, but I try to keep in mind:
    Food will never be a solution to any sort of emotional response. It can only be a solution to your nutritional needs and hunger.

    This helps me as I tend to be an emotional eater.

    That's a fantastic way of looking at it. It sounds silly, but I've never looked at it like that. Thank you :) I will try to remember this!

    So, I did and didn't lose 2lbs this week. I started off good, gained 3lbs even though I was on track with my meal plans and light exercise, then lost 2.8lbs. So I'm up 0.2lbs this week. :(

    I'm not discouraged though, since I'm more concerned about getting my blood sugar levels lower right now. I know the weight will come if I make healthier food choices and get a little more active. I have a very sedentary job (secretary) and about the only exercising I was doing was walking my little chihuahua (so walking 10 feet, stop to let her smell everything, repeat). I've been intentionally getting up from my desk and walking briskly around the office. Its a small step but one I think I can maintain. I know I wouldn't go to the gym on a regular basis, so that would be a waste of money and a waste of self-loathing.
