Wednesday, Dec 31 2008 - The Last Wednesday of this Year
View CWCEBMEY's food & exercise for this day
It's New Year's Eve. . . . my daughter is having a party at her home, and my son will be there. This is the first New Year's Eve in a very long time that it will just be me and my hubby. Last year, we spent part of the evening with friends, but went home before midnight. This year, it will just be the two of us, sitting down and nibbling on snack and watching TV. Maybe I'll rent a movie. . . .
I'm not going to make any resolutions. I never keep them, so what's the point.
Today, I weighed in for the Bodybugg and lost 3 pounds. Last week, I lost 0 pounds, so it was a good thing to see that instead of the normal 2 pounds a week, I have lost 3 this week.
I am beginning to feel like I back to where I was at before my appendicitis. I have regained my endurance in my workouts. Next week, I'll begin to add the core exercises and weight lifting exercises . . . at least that is my plan.
I keep telling myself that exercise is key to losing this weight, reducing stress, and managing my diabetes. And I have been good (not excellent) in going to the gym. But overall, I have this sense that I will soon hit a plateau or that I will give up this effort to losing weight and go back to my old ways and gain back the weight that I have lost plus more. I'm not sure why I feel this way. Since I have started using the bodybugg (October 27th), I have lost 19 pounds. I've only had one week where I have lost 0 pounds (I was cooking a lot of sweets and sampling those sweets). I just can't believe that I can get below 230. This morning I weighed in at 231. There is no reason why I should not continue to lose this weight, but the doom and gloom feeling is there.

I think the doom and gloom was already there and you are just directing it toward your weight, where you have actually been very successful. Maybe it would help, not to make New Year's resolutions, but to spend some time envisioning (or imagining) the very best possible next year you could. Try to reset your subconscious to the belief that this coming year can be the best year you have ever had in your life on all fronts. Remember, this is an imagination. It doesn't have to have anything to do with reality. Don't try to confront it with reality. No buts... allowed. Just make yourself a beautiful vision and think of that vision every time things get hard. They have proved that doing something like that can get you through hard times. Not only that, but it DOES reset your subconscious to more positive expectations, which makes it easier to go in those directions. Let's nip that impending weight upturn in the bud!
