Hi guys - hope everyone had a good week

Wellllll..
Sorta got my head on straight about my slip slide - Started my walking again
and have managed to adjust my schedule some to get at least one hour of
walking in each day. Also moved my bike around in the house and did 45
minutes each evening since Tuesday. For the state I was in, that is an
accomplishment.

Food wise, I haven't started logging on Fitday again yet, but I have been
being very careful with portions and nutrition. Also have cut out all the
"white carbs" but still getting them in cheese and veggies. But bread,
potatoes, rice, pasta and such are off my acceptable nutrition list. Also
sugar. The first day (Sunday) was tough, Monday got better, Tuesday I felt
crummy and did have what I consider to be sugar/carb withdrawals. Maybe it
wasn't that, who knows. But that's what I attribute it to. Wednesday I felt
Ok, just mid week crazies, Thursday and Friday were much better for me. I
went back via Google and read alot of my archived posts and I sat here in
surprise at the tone of some of my messages I also re read my fitday journal
and was equally surprised.  - How driven I was when I first made my changes,
the challenges I faced along the way and the advice I was giving others LOL,
Lordy, I was opinionated and a know-it-all. Really was pretty humbling to
read it all. I think sometimes (and not just in the dieting/health aspect)
we tend to get a little full of ourselves when we are constantly successful
at something and it can be our downfall.

The bright spot in my week was that the weather here in Central TX improved
a bit. Lots of nice temps and sunshine this week and I don't know if anyone
remembers or not, but in the past I have mentioned I suspect I have SAD and
the sunshine REALLY helps my mood, motivation, sleep etc.

My sabotaging family is at it again however, which I know is going to turn
into an argument eventually. I don't understand those folks and why they
constantly disapprove any changes. Insecurity I guess. I am going to try
very hard to not let it turn into an argument and I am going to call a
family discussion tomorrow and my WOE is going to be top on the list of
discussion. I am going to explain it as plainly and even if it is painful to
them and me - that I am willing to make some changes to my recent lifestyle
and that I need their support in it, regardless of their opinion and what
they seem to think are their "needs".

I haven't weighed and I didn't weigh because I am going to try to not focus
on those numbers as much as I used to when I was sane before my slip. Not
that I got obsessive. But.. I am going to attempt to make this about
body/fuel/nutrition this time, not the pounds. I did however measure and
take 1 photo. So.. am going to measure again in a week (2 weeks at a time)

Anywho,

That's that :)
Thanks for listening
