Had a moment last night with a personal victory! And feeling really good this morning for not 'caving in' to some junk food still in the house.

I have been quietly Challenging myself to a 30 day personal challenge - to fit in some kind of exercise - every day. That is going well...so far so good!

Been doing some reading (a habit I developed early on...and still do each day). Today's reading was about getting back to eating Low Carb 'AGAIN'. This had some tips...WATER (and the importance of hydration). check.

Uping my FATS (and how they push you into ketosis faster w/ less cravings)...check.

Enough PROTEIN...but not too much (as this will spill over eventually and cause an insulin response.) check.

Check. Check. Check. Looks like I am on my way.

Something is working because I can feel my energy returning. I am excited (even if it takes a long time) to think about returning to a smaller size. I have forgiven myself...and I am not 'beating myself up' anymore about it.

What I have done once, I can do again.

And the freedom of not weighing in...honestly makes me happy right now. It's a bit of rush to try something on that two weeks ago was so tight I couldn't put it on...and now...at least I can!!! Can't wait for the moment when it actually looks normal on...and feels normal on...

in other words...I can feel the gentle release of some of this weight. I can tell by the belly. I can tell by the clothes. And while I don't think most people can go by this 'method'... I am for right now.

I just know the shame and guilt I would feel if I stepped on a scale and saw a number even close to what I used to weigh. And I know it's up there. I can live w/out the WhOOO Hooo's of losing a pound here or there... to just remain focused until my clothing tells me I have gotten back to somewhere reasonable...and then I can start weighing in again. (probably once a week, like I did before.)

By the time I get back to maintenance, I want to be weighing in every day, even if I don't personally need the info. I want to make weighing in every day...a lifelong habit. But not while I am at a 'high point'.

I need to keep my head in the game...focus on all the positive changes...and look for the signs that the weight is shifting or reducing..the little signs. Which is what I have been doing. That is a boost. Positive feedback in a different way. And for me right now, it's working!

Hope you all have a great day! Much Love.

Working out at home w/ the 'muggy weather' is so much better because of instant access to a screaming cold shower!!

Hope you are all doing well. I am better this morning, after a good night's sleep. Spent a rather long day yesterday w/ my middle son (the Firefighter) just giving him a shoulder to grieve on. Seeing the faces of some of these young men lost to this tragedy - it hit him very hard. We talked about flying out to AZ to attend some of the funerals - although with everything else on his plate... is just not practical. Even though I am 'MOM' - I must say, this kid has an amazing heart! True compassion for the grief of families 1/2 a world away.

On a lighter note...

I am preparing for the 4th around here - and a few days of fun in the sun... and then leaving (on a jet plane) on Sat. (going on vacation!!)

Headed to ALA. to see my favorite person in the whole world (lest my hubby and kids)... And she is taking me on a Cruise for my 50th Birthday!!!

A little disappointed in myself that I didn't get to where I wanted to be by this time - but that's life. I am stronger today, than at any point in the last six months. The weight will come off...and I will again be where I want to be. (just not in the GREAT PICS that I will be taking while on this special trip :)

Can't wait to share all the details...and I will. But not sure how much if at all - I will be on a computer between the 6th and the 16th. I am just bringing it up now...(now til Sat.) so that anyone who reads my journals will know I am just away on a trip...and haven't fallen off the deep end of the depression cliff again!!!

Much love to you all...
