[Insert catchy title here]

Point two...I had a point two gain today at my weigh in, for a weight of 205.2.  I had been toying with 204 a couple of times this week, but didn't have a strong enough hold on it to make it stick at the weigh in.  I go back and forth in my head...the negative self talk combated by the positive self talk and after enough rounds of this the positive wins.  I am too close to breaking through the 204 barrier now.  If I can hold 204 then push through it I will be thrilled.  So time to think about what I can do to make this happen...

I don't track because as WW writes in much of its material some of us aren't wired for tracking.  I wholeheartedly agree.  I am aware of what I eat and make as many choices Power Food as is possible.  Practically all I eat is based on the power foods and recipes I have gotten from WW.  I have my moments of course, when I splurge, but I don't believe them to be so much that it is preventing me from losing.  So beyond making sure I stay mindful about my eating and continuing to make "powerful" choices, I need to exercise more, perhaps make treadmill time 45 mins instead of only 30.  I am already doing some weights for shaping my legs, but not so heavy as to build too much muscle.  I am aware that could be slowing my efforts as well.

My husband mentioned juicing to me this morning and I cringed.  Seems he watched a documentary about it and is curious.  My thinking is I don't want to do anything extreme, because the results would likely be temporary.  The last "extreme" thing I did was Lindora before my wedding. I could not continue to live and eat that way so the weight came back.  I don't care to repeat that.  That makes me think of something my WW leader said today, it was something like if you tire of restarting, stop quitting.  I want to make my weight loss stick, I want it to become what WW prepares you for, a life style change.

More on this juicing thing when I see the documentary later today.  I enjoy eating too much to do juicing well.  My husband proposed doing it when I was on summer break (if I do it at all) and I think that would be wise.  I get incredibly grumpy when I haven't eaten!

I have written through all the Tools for Living now, so I will go with the topic of the week at WW or whatever strikes my fancy.  I feel confident I am committed to weekly blogging now.
