My Journey Back to Health  Hoping that all the years of fun might be reversible

I shame Myself

It has been so long. I look at my desk tonight, and I see my food journal. Blank for about a month. No real weigh ins in a long time. No real work done to control my eating. I knew I crossed a line when I went to Culvers and ate a cheeseburger for lunch today. Someething in that was shameful.

I have taken about a week off. It was the after effects of my man Scott coming up north, and the like. I was and am overwhelmed at work, so that does not help. Add to that the bus riding, and man, I was not making choices. I just was doing. I need to get back to embracing the choice of it.

So I have gained about 4 pounds this month. I feel really okay about it, as I see this sort of muscle tone thing that I did not have weeks ago, so maybe that is a trade off. But I do not think so.

I am ashamed I relapsed. I drank soda, and ate in the middle of the night. Two days ago I ate 5 cookies. And put some half and half on cereal. It has been a bad month. The redeeming thing, is the gym has changed, and is amazing now. I feel so good.

Today is the first day of the rest of this.

    Dino – I’m not going to tell you anything that you don’t know . . . but you need to start your food journal again, and do whatever it takes to get back on track. Remember when I told you about all those wonderful comfort-food places I ate while on vacation? It’s taken a couple of weeks, but I’m back on track and hope to hit another goal next week. You will ALWAYS and FOREVER be eating something you shouldn’t, but you can get back “in the zone” and make it work for you.
    If you’re still working out, that is HUGE and will be helpful. I can’t seem to get going, even on those nice days we had and I should’ve gotten out and moved around.
    A big point you made was how important it was to be accountable to someone – maybe you have to make it a point to do that again, with Kelly or Weight Watchers,
    or maybe some of us who are in the same struggle.

    The food journal is the key I think. I know it is.

    I think it swings. I need to start cooking as well.

    Direct your fiery temper toward beating the crap out of dumb urges and think like Rocky.
