We took a family road trip yesterday and I did not do so well. Somehow the word "fudge" just makes my brain forget the plan! :) Sadly, that was not the only poor decision of the day.
But, that day is gone and today has started out great so far. I got up early and made it to the gym before the Resolution Rush (although it was sure filling up by the time I was leaving). I came home and had a yogurt. I realized how long I have been straying from my plan when I couldn't find my yogurt on the recently eaten menu. That is just another sign to me to pull myself together and stay on track.
When I originally reached my goal, I wrote a list of what I did to keep as a reminder to me going forward. I am going to keep that list handy and read over it frequently to remind mindful in the coming days and weeks as I get back to a healthier way of eating.

Happy New Year, my Fat Secret friends!
Well, it is time to face the music. I knew I had put a few pounds back on, but I finally got on the scale this morning. Yuck! Not that I am surprised with the amount of sweets I consumed over the last month.
I know how to do this though and I just have to get back to what makes me feel healthy and strong. I am still on track with my exercise, so I will continue with that. I have set a goal for 2016 to hike 250 miles total for the year. (This does not count walking my dog around the neighborhood, but time spent away from buildings and pavement.) To kick this off, the family is going with me for a hike this afternoon. Eating, as always, is the challenge. I have cleared the house of the cookies and chocolates that are such temptations. I have stocked up on veggies and some fruit. I have been planning meals to not only eat well, but fill the freezer with healthy leftovers for when I don't have time to cook.
None of this is new to me and I know it works for me. I just need to nip that grazing mentality in the bud when it hits me. I will record my food so as to hold myself accountable. This is not the end of the world, just a detour on the maintenance road that I am learning to navigate.

Gaining 0.3 kg a Week
27 December 2015
Despite the frequent trips to the gym, this holiday season seems like it has added a bit of padding back onto me. In keeping with my recently adopted zen attitude, I am not going to get onto the scale until after the new year begins. Instead, beginning on Boxing Day, I got back into my healthy groove. Veggies instead of cookies. Lots of water instead of lots of wine. Fruit for snacks rather than chocolate.
I went to the gym this morning and was able to make it through a longer than usual workout, despite the fact that my brain kept suggesting that I cut short my cardio or maybe skip the weights today. My body dragged my tired, whiny brain along for the ride and I managed to make it through. I was feeling pretty good about that. I even got the kids to go out for a walk with me this afternoon, even though their tired, whiny brains were not all that interested! :)
I am humbled by how quickly my eating can slip, especially when surrounded by the stuff of bad decisions. I do know how to be strong and I am going to get myself right back.

Hello my Fat Secret Friends!
Sorry to have been silent for so long, but I have been doing well. After struggling with maintenance for a while, I have adopted a zen approach to the situation. I have stopped logging my food and exercise, instead relying on the way I feel to guide me. And, I feel great. I do not always eat everything just right, but I have been able to keep all of those wonderful habits I formed while losing the weight and have been able to keep my diet balanced. I have been getting a lot of exercise--getting to the gym five times a week, walking the dog, and trying to fit in a hike or two as well. I have also stayed away from the scale. My new clothes still fit. I feel good. I do not need to stay obsessed with the number on the scale.
I feel like I have graduated, successfully completing the Izzypup course of Fat Secret School. :) I have learned mindfulness. I have learned to pay attention to what my body needs (and does NOT need). I have gained an appreciation for feeling healthy and strong and refuse to go back to where I was. I also know that if things ever do begin to fall out of balance, I have my buddies here and the tools of FS to help get me back on track.
So, carry on the good fight, my friends. :) I am pulling for each and every one of you!
