I weighed in early and I was the same. No change. Three pounds lost in 2 weeks.

Anyways, planning is really working and I can tell because my stress is right where it should be. Sweet. *smiles* (I wrote most of this last night and that too was planning.)

I had a splendid 15 days of recording. I mean I did not really know how great it was because I never looked back, dwelled, celebrated the goodness or cursed the 2-3 not so good days. (3000 calories in one day…wow, that is just enough for me to nearly maintain with my activity.) Well, 3 lbs is not bad in that time. I will keep at it.

This weekend when I am away, it will be easy when it comes to food. I have packed some snacks and I have my Vega on guard. We will eat out often but I hold close to my heart and mind throughout the weekend these words which are with me in strict form – I will not let anything stand in my way of my goal. People and that includes myself will not lead me into temptation. I can make good choices. I have the Christmas pants that now fit to prove that when I have a goal, I can make my ass move and lessen my intake and I will get the results. I have made things happen for me and I will continue to do so. The funny thing is, this is the easiest thing because my motivation is closer to me then ever before. Yes, yes it is.

The past 15 days were recorded religiously and so since I have the points/approximate calorie intake, I am going to plot the last 2 weeks and the coming week and see what works best. I may plot the next 2 weeks in order to get a good indicator of how food and activity affects my weight. I thought that by not looking at my points, they might have been a little more ‘all over the place’ and therefore make for a more zigzagging kind of a diet. But my intake was really pretty level, like I said accept for those couple days. Anyways. That is something. But this week I would like to try and do the zigzagging thing. I will naturally zigzag this weekend. Eating out is a breeze with points as long as the food is simple so I do not think this will be a problem. That is one thing I recall about WW – they say estimate a little on the high side with higher fat foods and you can not go wrong. The sneaky buggars (the cooks) love to hide fat! *big belly laugh*… we shall see who wins the war!

 

My Plan for the weekend:

1) 3 meals & 2 snacks

2) Eat many dark leafy salads with protein (dressing on the side)

3) Get adequate complex carbohydrates/protein or I will become bitchy. It is a certainty if I do not…hehe No lie!

4) Easy on the fat like that from animals, butter (I have brought my own good fat snacks – walnuts and pumpkin seeds). Why is it that I love butter on my popcorn, but am fine with plain toast? I do not like that I can not take my small tetra packs of soymilk on the plane, but that is ok. Safeway!!! I will not get bloated from the cow and then be bitchy. Foresee and deal!

5) I will take my vitamins ! Good one.

6) When there is something I want I will try and see if anyone wants to share that with me. Whether it be an entrée or a dessert I am not about to refrain from enjoying.

7) On Saturday when I am in the mountains I plan to go for a walk and/or jog by myself. I MADE my exercise clothes fit into my carry-on luggage.

8 ) Seek the health benefits of red wine!

I have already prayed once and I will do so again for the following: Sanity, Humor and Quit-Witted Humor. I feel tight and so I am allowing for jokes to enter my brain at all times. I am going to think about my buddies and also some of the best comedians out there. Some people just crack me up. I will be calm. Look at that, the stress has left and I suddenly feel drunk without it. I am on crack (a friend use to say this all the time…what a saying!) and we have to leave. For those of you who know The Blue Man Group… they inspired my lack of emotion in this blog. I give them full credit.

Be well my buddies. And have a fun weekend. I am excited to see the mountains for the first time. I have been to the east (Montreal) and to the west (Vancouver), but never to the actual mountains in between. I am just seeing things the way they should be seen. Ahhh beaUtiful! *hugs 2 u*
