I've been a little out of my routine this week. We are getting a new file server at work so that has kept me busy. Today I was *gasp* without a computer! I feel so out of touch. I've been doing great with my eating although I'm not expecting much at my Saturday weigh in. I have not put in the time with exercise. I think once I get that piece of the puzzle in place the scales will move downward again.
Last night 65MD and I got the calendar out and penciled in the various trips, faculty gatherings and miscellaneous eating occasions coming up. We have something almost every week between now and mid-October!!!!!!!!!!!!! That means I have really got to kick it while I can. I think I can. We have two week long trips/seminars, but everything else is a one time thing. Since I have this knowledge so far in advance I can plan accordingly. I can trim calories here & there and add a few more minutes on the stair stepper.
Mostly, I'm adjusting my expectations. I have no target date for getting to my goal weight. I need to learn how to eat in situations like this for the rest of my life. This is as good a time as any to learn. I'll do the best I can and deal with what happens as it comes.

I like your attitude - you know what obstacles are likely ahead and you're making your plan to work around them! Awesome!

Yes, fall always brings a myriad of challenges, doesn't it? And just think, Christmas is right behind it. LOL! You've got a really good attitude right now. I like it!
ReplyDeleteobviously plan what you can and kick it when you can but you can be 100% on plan in most resturants (dinner parties are another matter) then you have to use the water trick and take a "bite" of what's offered. by all means adjust your expectations but don't sell yourself short in the process you're capable of whatever you set your mind to! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteEvery week! Yikes. I think planning is a great idea.
