Track. Count. Measure. Together.

I am feeling good. Are you?! Today is a good day. I had a plan yesterday and I stuck to it. Down again. I am working my plan for today also. So far, so good. I even had biscuits and gravy for breakfast this morning. I skipped my normal lunch time since I was not yet hungry, but will have to eat soon. I can feel it.

This is going to be so much fun. I already know what I am having for dinner. Planned that out yesterday. This evening I will be sitting down with my children to enjoy some popcorn. Yum.

I had to do one of those dreadful middle-of-the-week grocery shops yesterday. On my way there, I got to thinking (gosh I do a lot of that thinking stuff lately. hurtful). Losing weight is a LOT easier than maintaining it. Anyone out there know what I mean???!!

How many times have we "gone off the wagon", because we thought we "had a handle" on it? Twice for me, unless you count the one while I was working for WW. Ok. I'll say it out loud THREE TIMES FOR ME. There, happy?

Getting a handle on it is the hard part. We get comfortable. We think we don't have to measure anymore, because we "already know" how much that amount should look like. We think we don't have to track our points anymore, because we have "eaten the same things for months/years". We think we can have an oops day(s). And when they are dayS, we think that we can "make up for that later this week with a hard workout (which may-or may not ever come).

Why does this happen?

What needs to happen after we lose the weight so that it does not come back? TRACK IT. COUNT IT. MEASURE IT. Whatever it is that is going to keep you accountable. We can't get relaxed with this once we meet our goal. Why? We end up having to lose it all again. That is no fun. Why not just keep it off to begin with?

Because it is not easy. Simple program, difficult to do. I know. I get it. That is why I am here also. So, let's do it together. You and me together, partners. Lifetimers.....plug in here with thoughts. We would LOVE to hear them.

This is a fun journey. Not to be stressful.
