Well, I had good intentions at the beginning of this week...and I actually really believed myself when I said I was going to dedicate this week off to work harder instead of taking a vacation from health.
Well, the good news is that I definitely didn't take a vacation and I've been getting in the exercise but I've discovered (not surprisingly) that it's much easier to eat the right stuff when I have to work...at home or on the run or hanging out with friends provides SO many opportunities to EAT. Work does too sometimes but it's not the same.
Anyway, I'm rambling but the bottom line is: not quite the week I was hoping for but I'm still doing MUCH better than I would have done in the same situation a year ago. Baby steps.
I'm actually looking forward to going back to work on Monday JUST to get back to my routine. I have to have SOME reason to want to go back to work, right? (I do like my job...as much as anyone likes WORK...it's just that I'd prefer to be independently wealthy...and then what I do now could be called what it is--volunteering.)
Oh my goodness...I hope nobody is subjecting themselves to reading this crazy, all-over-the-place journal entry! Just stream of consciousness.

You are doing fine! I do not know of very many people who are off of work and on vacation (even at home) that can LOSE a couple of pounds that week! You realize that you do better when you are in your routine and things are more structured; I'd say that's perfectly logical and completely normal. Try to stick to your plan as best you can and if it's nice out, maybe put in a little more time walking this weekend (it also helps clear your head)and then just get back on track next week. You know that you're in this for the long haul and you know what's working and what isn't. I don't think you can ask for much more than that! Hang in there - you really are doing very well :)

This is a trick I have been trying lately. When faced with eating, ask yourself am I really hungry or just want something. If you're not really hungry get a piece of sugar free gum. I bought a variety of flavors because anything mint doesn't work because I'm looking through the cupboards for a snack. So I bought bubblegum, berry, apple, etc. and it really seams to help and even if you only chew for fifteen to twenty minutes it usually gets me past my craving for something else.
