Mid Year's resolution
Monday, May 31st 2010
Well, its already June and I can't believe it. I'm making June 1 my New Year. I'm more focused than I've been in weeks, so here is to a better reading on the scale this new year!!I've mapped out the next 3 months. The classes I'm taking at the gym and the workout at home I'll do if I can't get to the gym for some unforeseen reason. The in-laws come at the end of the month and that is always a hindrance to my routine, my eating, my everything. I'd like to be down by the time they get here ...
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!!!

I'll wait another week and hope that my hard work and my body will give me some positive feedback next week. I know I'm on the right path and I'm making smart choices, so its a matter of n...Sunday, May 23rd 2010
So I've been getting really aggravated because I've gone through the last couple of weeks really focusing on my calorie target and exercising, all without seeing the scale move one bit. I realized that I quite possibly was not eating enough calories. I'm well aware that not having enough calories is completely counter productive. But, I lost weight and maintained on WW for years , so I never really knew how many calories I was suppose to eat. So starting yesterday, I added calories (by setting...Yield and enjoy your food

One of the many terrible habits I have is scarfing down my food. I never really taste it. I'm not sure if it started when I was working long days and was lucky to get a lunch, but its a terrible habit. There are several techniques you can use to help yourself slow down:1. Putting your fork down between every bite.
2. chewing at least 20 times before taking another bite.
3. Eat blind folded.
But frankly, I forget to put the fork down between bites. I don't like my food being chewed t...
