No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!
turnaround tuesday..sort of
i wanted to get back 'on track' today so began with journaling my food (always a good thing) and have decided to start posting it. when i started blogging i thought.. well that's silly.. i write it in a notebook.. why would i just re-type it later? ..but now i understand that i joined this community for accountability and i might be less likely to eat an entire bag of something if i have to write about it to hundreds of people. also i did my weigh in today for biggest loser and i'm at 153.0 ..down 1 lb for week 2. i realized with all my binging this past weekend that i really need to focus more on healthy habits. i pretty much got all the WW 8's down.. my prob is binging and the mentality of being 'on' or 'off' ..so.. to start.. i'm going back a WW rule i haven't been following which is to weigh in once a week. i weigh myself everyday and i thought it was good accountability for my eating actions ..like.. see.. you ate crap and gained! ..but it also works the opposite way.. like.. i ate crap and i'm maintaining.. so i'm letting it influence me way too much and it's obviously not working since i've been stalled for the past few months. so my goal this week.. no stepping on the scale! ..it may sound silly.. but i think it's gonna be a little difficult.. it's a serious habit. apparantly those people over at WW seem to know what' goin' on so i'll listen to them. :) anyhoo.. food for tuesday:

Like you said weighing in everyday you can talk yourself into whatever you want the results to mean. So daily is too much for some. I havent been near a scale in months so jumping back on - I'm working up to it. It's a goal for tomorrow. It does motivate me to go easy on eating the nite before, so I'll use that tonite for motivation. Maybe Thursday will be my weigh-in day and I'll post to the world what I weigh every Thursday.

Comment by Leah Danyell on June 5, 2008 at 1:08am - My schedule is the same way, but most of the time I'm up during the day so I kind of do a midnight-midnight thing. I do WEO nights (2). I usually just do the Wendy's Chicken Caeser with Italian dressing on Fri nights and on Sundays I do a tuna lunch kit and a piece of fruit and/or a 0-1 point soup. Of course I drink coffee and try to displace sodas with H20. I'm trying not to eat anything heavy before I go to bed, but it's hard when I've waited so long to get a chance to eat and I feel like I'm starving. I'm still grabbing a rice cake if I get the desire to snack, but my appetite is pretty much dulled out. You're doing the right thing with the journaling. Tomorrow is always a new day! You may lose an occasional battle, but you can win this war!
