Old Habits…
It’s amazing how easy it is to slide back into our old habits. I was doing really good and then starting last Saturday I started blowing it. It really sucked. I’m sure I gained this week. I was going to use my no weigh in pass at ww this Saturday but hubby said I need to face the music.
I am happy though because I did catch up on some blogs tonite. It sure helps to read up on all of your blogs. I gained some of my motivation from reading on your blogs. I noticed a lot of new buddyslimmers as well. I want to welcome you all to the greatest website on the face of the earth.
Old habits die hard. How much damage do I think I did? I may have gained 5 pounds. It’s okay though because I will be back on track tomorrow. I’m not waiting any longer to get back on. I’m going to add exercise into my routine as well. Unfortunately, we can’t keep the Y membership due to finanical problems. I do have an elliptical at home along with a weight bench and 2 stationary bikes so I have no reason not to exercise! I also have dance dance revolution and can use it. I’m going to buy a workout dvd tomorrow and I’m sure that will help as well. We can do this!
I’m going to take all of my exercise excuses away. I can’t wait until January 5th. Steph and I start our exercise challenge then. I really need this. We have plans and they aren’t going to happen if we don’t work hard at it. I know she’s had a rough week to. It’s the holidays. It’s okay. We can get through this and make our 50 pound loss. I’m going to change my mini goal on my ticker to 239 which is 2 pounds away from last Saturday’s weigh in. I will take it 10 pounds at a time after that.
Here are my goals for next week:
1. Drink water daily!
2. Earn 12 activity points
3. Limit eating out
4. Use no flex and keep track of my points religiously!
I am going to accomplish my goals and lose this weight!

I agree with hubby—FACE THE MUSIC…, but I will add what Frank Sinatra said, AND DANCE!! No matter what happens, go to the meeting, weigh-in and LEARN from your experience. I suspect that this time next year, you will be more disciplined during the Holidays…it may take more than a year, in my case, it’s taken several years, but it pays off when you either maintain or lose!
I love your plan for the week, it’s very detailed which the experts say is the key to reaching your goal(s)! You have motivated me to write weekly goals and for that, my dear Squiggly—I thank you!
Wintertime and the holidays makes it SOOOO easy to slip up…Its ok as long as you get back on track and get focused again…Look how far you have come already and use that to go farther…Your doing great, keep it up
luv, misty
Hugs to you!! Keep holding your head high and remind yourself daily that you are worth it!
I can hear you energy in your words. You are right, you can do this! I wish you all the best!
I’m not waiting any longer to get back on.
Good for you Shelley for determination and for keeping going! Your plan sounds really good and you can totally do it! Use that elliptical and Dance, dance dance with that man of yours! And, yes, big thanks to squiggly!
Love your determination! Yes, better to face the music and get on with it, I find putting it off just makes me stress more. We can do this!
Husband is right!
You know, I didn’t want to get on the scales the other day. I KNEW I had gained. But I did it anyway. I figured it would just add to my post holiday moodiness, but actually, the opposite happened. It DID make me sad for a few minutes, but it also got me to thinking about how I was feeling physically, which was lethargic, and that prompted me to get back on plan right away. Within just 2 days, my energy is back, my mood has lifted to much higher ground, and I feel like I can accomplish anything.
The holidays can do a number on us with eating the wrong foods, which is okay for special occasions… but what we have to strive for and learn is that when that special occasion is OVER, then we get back to what we know is right and good for our bodies. We have to stay focused and disciplined AFTER the occasion is over.
You have a great plan there and I know that the next blog of yours that I read will be a happy and so glad you did it blog.
Huggggggggggggggggs,
Shan
Shelley, I know you can do it ! Even though finances don’t allow you to keep the Y membership you can still do this ! The gym is just a perk not a must !I am glad you are back on track and holding yourself accountable ! You know what to do if you need me ! Kimmi
I loved the fact that you faced the scale..even though you didn’t want to…good for you. I also liked those 10 suggestions you posted especially the Persist.
Thanks for the encourgaging words!
