For some reason I have been mental blocking in the past months when it comes to reducing calories... I just haven't been able to make myself do it. I guess I got so used to maintenance and being able to eat more calories and different types of calories that the idea of "cutting back" was freaking me out.

I have been reminding myself of the foods I ate when I was losing weight... my favourite is a big bowl salad of small cube cuts of tomato, cucumber and celery with a homemade vinegrette. I LOVE this salad and it is super filling. But for whatever reason, it hasn't been until this week that I have been able to get myself to make it.

And now I am hooked again! Love it.

I have been finding myself this week less resistent to reducing my calorie intake... it helps that I have been really busy at work an in my personal life so there has been less time to "think" about being hungry (acknowledging that most of my hunger is just boredom).

I still haven't gotten on the scale or taken measurements but I will this weekend. I will, I will I WILL.

Exercise has been a challenge... with being hit with a cold, an ear infection, and still recovering from my bruised ribs it just hasn't been something I've been able to get excited about.

On my to-do list for next week is to re-prioritize my life and to start going to some of the fitness classes at my gym and practicing yoga at least once a week. And I can't wait to RUN again!

I am happy to see myself getting into weight-loss mindset again and am looking forward to watching the numbers GO DOWN! Woot!
