So I was sorting myself out this morning about what happened and what I normally do when I hit failure. First, I noticed that I wanted to lie about the results. Then I noticed that I wanted to go right back to see I can't do this. So I spoke with Steven (who was awesome) and then I decided that going public with the results would be helpful.
First I took an honest look at this past week. Both what I did food plan wise and exercise wise. I took a moment to look back over the last three weeks as well. What were the things that had me be successful in week one and two. What did I do differently.
Food Plan Wise:
Ok here is what I saw. I ate high point food and guessed on how much certain foods were points wise more than once. I didn't write down points for Sunday at all. I did some unconscious standing up in the kitchen eating on Sunday. I didn't drink my water everyday.
Exercise Wise:
This past week was a great week for exercise for me. I exercised in some way Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. 6 days. I felt myself really get into the habit and get excited. I noticed that waking up got easier every day. I did Yoga a couple of mornings, the long long bike ride on Monday, did Bollywood Booty, Arms, and the Rough Bodies 'Legs and Butt'.
What I am going to take on this week?
Food Plan:
I will go back to the basics and write down everything I am eating as I am eating it. I am going to get more mathematic about portion sizes. I have been using my eyes to measure the amount of food I am eating. Given how I gained what I lost in the 2nd week, I am pretty sure that I was visually guessing less than actual. I can start measuring food. Last drink my water everyday.
Exercise Wise:
I will keep up the exercise I have been doing. 5-7 days a week is my goal and I will just repeat it this week. It was fun.
Ok... check back next week to see what happened.
Go Sho! Saying What's So is probably the most powerful thing I've heard you say. I got a digital food scale - less that $20 at BB & B - bcause I don't guess, I lie. I started a Zumba class yesterday and though I was two left feet wearing shoe boxes, I had a ball! Afraid the teacher was ready to throw me out...she was quite refined to my exuberance LOL and ROFL. Don't give up start over every 5 minutes if you need to. Love, Lori
