Last week:
INTL wk 9: +0.6 to 177.4 total: 68.2
GE wk 10: 6 Curve sessions

This week:
INTL wk 10: -1.6 to 175.8 total: 69.8
GE wk 11: 5 Curve sessions

Well, I guess going back to Flex and eating to my min target (or above) each
day was a good idea. This is the lowest weight that I have ever reached. My
guess is that I was not eating enough for the past few weeks.

I love Core but I was not getting anywhere this past month. I am continuing
to eat core meals for breakfast & lunch but for dinner I don't worry about
trying to be core perfect and deal with whatever DH serves up. This makes my
meals a lot more flexible and our eating out so much easier to deal with.
This week it was Mexican (chimichunga split btw 2 dinners), pizza for DD's
birthday, chinese for lunch one day and small slices of ice cream cake 3
nights (gone now) and I still managed to lose weight. I think I just needed
to feed my body some real food. Let's hope my luck continues for another few
weeks.

Congrats on that loss. I think shaking it up might be part of what
works. Core for a bit, flex for another bit, back to core. Hey,
watching and thinking helps - PERIOD.

Ray keeps saying it over and over - you have to balance what goes in
with what you burn either in a slow paced life or with exercise as
part of the deal.

Calories in = calories out.

I think core might help avoid some of the sugar urges or other trigger
foods but also might be too much pressure to be perfect - like you
say, your husband is not bound by the program and if he finds core
boring and won't cook that way, than YOU can at least control portions
of imperfect food.

That's my thought too. I can control portions/points but I can't control my
husband. I gave up on that idea years ago <g>.

I am making a concentrated effort to make sure that a minimal amount of
processed foods get eaten. I LIKE not having food cravings. I'm not afraid
to use my points on fruit instead of junk. This is a valuable lesson that I
learned by doing the Core program. I think that I can continue my core-like
flex for a long time. I don't mind counting points as I think it keeps me
more aware of my eating which is a good thing.
