I didn’t sleep well last night. Maybe it was the nightmares about collapsing banks. Or (more likely) it was the fact that I only walked a little over 2 miles yesterday. Here’s the thing: The rules I’ve set for myself aren’t arbitrary ideas grabbed from the headlines. Each one is on the list because they have an overwhelmingly positive impact on my life.
My tools are Walking & Fiber & Water & NOT eating between meals & NOT taking seconds. And I weigh myself everyday and log what I eat & walk & weigh.
What are your tools? And …. What are you going to do today?

Yup, time to get back into it. I need to start walking more and eating less here.
{{FAR}} It’s good to see you. I’m sorry about your abbreviated vacation.
I’m in a countdown to election day (and then probably another one ’till New Years) I’ve been drifting. (what a surprise)
Tomorrow, I’ll talk about some specific tools….
I joined WW again, I need the meetings and support. I am logging what I eat again, it really does make a difference when you have to look at it, and sometimes in good ways.. (I went out last night and ate what I wanted including drinks. I was afraid to count what I had eaten and you know when you think you have blown it you let the whole week go too, but when I made myself face it, it wasn’t so bad. I analyzed how I could have done better, but that it didn’t have to ruin my whole week either.) I have decided I will walk and stretch EVERYDAY, no matter how little or how much. A friend of mine who looks great pointed out that the problem with my thinking was that if I could not go all out (i.e. go to the gym and work out for an hour or two) I did nothing. But the little bit everyday is better than nothing. So if I only walk 15 min. I am committed to move everyday. and i have actually decided NOT to weigh myself everyday. The psychology of it effects each person differently, but for me it only discourages me if I go up a pound or two day to day. So I put the scale away and weigh in only at my WW meetings which pushes me to go, so I can weigh in.
(Sorry so long!)
