Well, it is safe to say that no news is NOT good news. When you don’t hear from me, it pretty much means that I’m making poor choices, lots of excuses, and not making progress in my journey toward health.
I must continue to work to make the good choices more often and poor choices less often. I must continue to seek to not make the poor choices as often and I have been doing this past year.
My poor choices this past year have involved not tracking, not cooking at much at home which leads to eating out more, not figuring the PointsPlus values when I do track, treating myself to those “pointy” treats too often, and making/finding/allowing excuses to not go to water aerobics. There are probably more, those are just the ones that come to my mind right now.
Bottom line…………this year, I have gained back about half of what I had lost during 2010. The good news is that I have continued to attend class each week. I have continued to face the scales. I know that had I not continued with classes, I would have gained it all and then some back by now. Whereas I feel good about not stopping class attendance, I do not feel good about gaining half of it back.
I have such an excellent support group. I am blessed with family and friends who care and who want to help and encourage me. But, I am the only one who can actually do this thing for me.
There’s probably a lot more to say, but it is late and I need to finish up and get ready for tomorrow then get to bed. The bottom line is: This journey is about choices and excuses. I have made some good choices and I have made some poor choices. I have made lots of poor excuses.
However, the one choice that I refuse to make is the choice to quit. I cannot and must not and will not quit. I am quite worth the fight!!!
