Fessin' Up

I think when you first tell yourself..this time will not be like last time or this time is the one that will work you have to also come face to face with those things that prevent you from doing what you set out to do.  A lot of times we like to blame our life style, being so busy that it makes it hard to make the right choices to work our or the right choices to eat those things that would be beneficial to our health.  the truth of the matter is is that it all boils down to "can I do it or will I do it"  making a conscience effort to make the right  choices should be the first thing on our minds but for what ever reason...it's not. 

For the past 3 weeks I have had a big case of the "I don't wannas" the first week of the I don't wannas when I went to weigh in i lost 2 pounds!!! wow! great right?? you would think that would be a wake up call or that shake to get me out of the "I don't wannas" but it wasn't.  The next week, I did want my "usual stuff" that i know was good for me, I wanted something "good to eat". So consequentially i tracked less and made half attempts to get my work outs in.  Which meant that when I went to way in that week i gained those 2 pounds back I lost the following week!?!? 

This brought me to a cross roads.... Do I A.) do what I would normally do to when this "losing weight thing" did go well, I would just say..." since I have mastered not worrying about if I lost weight or not..let me go back to that.  Or B.) Do I say..this is just a small detour on my road to Alaska and figure out whats going on and make a plan to go forward.  So for the fist time in a long time I said " Alex I will take what is behind door B please!"

Behind door B. was my plan to get up and try some more!  I looked at the fact that I am down 18 pounds since January. which isn't bad.  I also figured out that I bordum eat!  I may not be hungry, I just put stuff in my mouth!?!? That is what I need to work on.  So my plan this week is to:

•  journal -  and try to pay attention to when I am eating and not hungry
• earn at least 10 activity points 4 days this week
• Attend my weight watchers meeting
• drink my water - 6 eight oz glasses each day

So here I go!  Off to work my plan!
