27 Off A whole lot to go..

Today We did the math .. 27 lbs off its coming off pretty fast... Hasn't been easy with Thanksgiving and the constant urge to eat bad Food. I was once told it takes 31 days to shake bad habits.. For mr it might take 62 days... THANKS for all the Moral Support ......Bran thanks for being there with the good lunches and support.. Hopefully I will have the 30 Stone by Friday Fingers Crossed Gang.

The Big Push

Well Thanksgiving has come and gone and what it took a month to build would only take a matter of days to tear down . I need to develop a plan to weather the storm of holiday,s but all is well not to much damage nothing a couple days on program cant fix.

Now the Big PUSH

12/26/2010 today through December 25th will be the push looking to loose 20 more lbs. its going to take a lot of dedication and focus. Whats going to suck is all the Christmas Parties and meetings that will have tons of bad foods well " Lets Get It...

By Far the Hardest Day So Far

Is it cultural?

 As far as I can remember I could associate good times with good food. When I think a little deeper whats helped  me through hard times? Good food.. I can even tie religion and my worshiping God to good food.. Sunday Dinner, Family get together, Graduations and funerals all had a bad ass meal  that went with it. Now as adult trying to change embedded traditions has been the hardest part of this journey. How do I ensure that my daughters don't associate good times with food.. I guess recognizing it is a start?

Today
The day started with plenty of promise meetings and allot to keep me busy however all that charged and the day went down hill. Whats the first thing I noticed ?  The food that's got me by and kept me full on most days was not enough today ... In being honest is it because I'm Hungry no I needed comfort for the adversity.. so on I push .. After lunch I met with my boss and he gives me great news about my job the to best words I could have heard extension and expansion. Now I'm coming back up the hill and feeling better but where does my mind drift ? My mind drifts to the smell of someone having a late lunch and it smelled amazing now im hungry agian.. Nahh Not hungry I want it because it smells good sooooo easily said than done.. So for the first time instead of turning to the comfort food Ive turned to prayer and my blog..  Enough Said..

Ya Think.

You would think on a day where I've seen the fruits of hard labor that i would not have cravings.. I'm irritable and wanting bad foods...This is a night where i need a to be in bed sleep...Early'

20 Lbs Thursday

Not much to say just very Happy..

Good Idea Bad Idea

Every week we have a family night. Being on a diet this meal would more than likely take us off program. It started pretty good I ordered my meal the waiter asked once before if I wanted an appetizer and i said no but the 2nd time she asked i said why not. The snowball begins, by the end of the meal I had the feeling of a balloon that had to much air in it. Did I over eat yes do I feel like it will set me back yes a little but all is not ruined. Back on the grind.. will keep you guys posted 

Concerned

Today at my weigh in I dropped another 4 lbs for a total 16.lbs. My major concern is getting comfortable with this amount of weight loss. I know like anything there will be a wall where there  wont be 9 lb losses in a week. Life has pretty much did everything it could to ensure that I don't make it to the Gym as much as I would like, however I have still managed to make enough. Time will tell how long this will work have to hang in there and keep it movin..
