CathyJo77 's Journal, 26 August 2010

My arms and abs are sore - but at the same time it is a good feeling to know these muscles are getting worked. I'm taking a day off from exercise; Mon-Tues-Wed were intense with core/cycling class and time trials. Still having a hard time getting back on track with the food. I was so hungry after work and then went to a picnic to welcome 2 new docs to town. I just couldn't resist the ice cream cone with hand-dipped turtle pecan icecream. But it's all about portion control - if I have an occasional treat and don't use it as an excuse to follow it up with eating whatever I want, then I'm doing good. The hardest thing for me to let go of is the black and white, all or nothing thinking that leads to my weight yo-yoing all over, not to mention a ton of frustration. Looking forward to a trip to the beauty salon this evening to get my hair highlighted; such a treat!

How wonderful to treat yourself today! I am going for a massage today and can't wait. I really think that treating ourselves with non-food items is one of the keys to not feeling deprived. We looked at homes in SF on Monday and are going back this Monday. I really like our realtor and I think we are on the right track and will find something we can both be happy about. I really think I will love living in SF. I see the Dharma room has moved to a new facility and that is one of the things I will look forward to. We are trying to find a home close to the bike paths and parks so it will be fun to have people come visit and play with us. I too, am looking forward to living closer to you and being able to spend more time together. Thank you for your friendship!!!

Hand-dipped Turtle Pecan ice cream....ahhhh...I'm drooling!! haha!! Your right though....it's all about portion control. I had the same problem, the all or nothing mentality, and I'm trying to change my way of thinking as well. Happy for ya'!
