Cute, but fat.

That’s one of the songs from “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer”. 

That’s going to be my motto for the upcoming holiday FOOD season.  In past years I’ve felt the urge to consume all holiday foods because for some reason I think they will never be offered again. Naturally, that is absurd as holidays roll around year after year.

I’ve almost gone into obsession mode making sure I eat the fudge, the decorated sugar Christmas cookies, the cakes, the pastries and oh my….the holiday candies!  I had this urgency inside of me saying “Eat it now for it will never be available again”.  I mean, come on now, if I want fudge in June, then have it! 

I am stepping away from the need to eat holidays foods and stepping in the mode of “Do I want this now”? 

This whole diet/exercise healthy lifestyle is a work in progress.  Just like me.

Ho Ho Ho

Holy Cow!  I am fully responsible for what I purchase at the supermarket, thus I am fully responsible for what I put in my mouth.

No blame on anything but ME!

I’ve been off track for about two weeks now.  My usual steadfast approach has gone by the wayside. I’ve been soooooo gooooood for 18 months with diet and exercise, that I believe I’ve reached a rut/stalemate.

HELP!

I’ve been inhaling food like a crazy woman.  I can feel myself getting bigger and bigger.  I am conscious of what I am doing, yet I don’t STOP! 

How can I go from a docile, mindful dieter to a woman that is out of control. I will do everything in my power to NOT return to my heaviest weight.  That is why I check 3fatchicks daily and blog.  I need to regain control and resume.  I will not fall off the wagon and say ‘whatever’. 

I kind of feel like a rebellious teenie booper who doesn’t want to adhere to the plan, just kind of make my own rules.

Last weeks weigh in I gained 3 pounds!  UGH UGH UGH UGH!  So Monday, I started with a fresh page and decided to increase water/exercise and decrease excess eating. That lasted for a day.  Gee.

I have tons of encouraging notes scattered about to help me remained focused. Guess, I am not paying attention to them, huh! hee hee.

Tomorrow I have 2 very doable goals: water and exercise. If I can keep those two in line, then hopefully this need to overeat will vanish!  I am not talking about an extra snack here and there….but down right inhaling a bag of M&M’s. No, not the small bag either!

I will not let myself regain the 50 pounds I have lost.  I will not let myself regain the 50 pounds I have lost.

I will write and say this 100 times! hee hee

well, not exactly frightful, but certainly chilly.  Autumn has arrived in New Hampshire.

What a quick week. Seems like it was just Monday morning and I was rolling out of bed at 5am to get the morning started.

Tomorrow is D-Day…or should I say W-Day. Weigh in Day.  I know I am up at least two pounds. Knowing this some might avoid weighing in. Not me, for some sick reason I make myself be accountable for that weeks bumps and such.  I have not missed a weigh in since beginning this weight loss February 2007.  I figure if I overeat, might as well face the music.  Also, from past experience once I miss a weigh in, then soon I miss two weigh ins, then three…etc….etc….etc.

So, chin up….step on the scale tomorrow morning, record your gain (I deserve it wholeheartedly) and make strides to improve your week!

Toodles….

Nothing to do with diet or exercise. 

I love listening to Howard Stern!  His show makes me laugh and I love to laugh.  Doesn’t laughing burn calories! hee hee

keeps the junk food away. NOT!

I made it my mission to blog everyday to help me stay on track.  I was blogging daily for awhile then got side lined by life, so I rededicated myself to visiting 3fatchicks and blogging.

Can’t say it’s helped me stay on track, but I’m more cognizant of my habits.

October 1st and all’s well.  The  leaves are changing rapidly where I live. Such beautiful colors abound. In fact, some of the leaf colors are so yummy looking I want to eat them!  Is there anything I won’t eat? hee hee

I was in Target the other day and naturally not only do they have Halloween set up, but in the way back corner they had a couple aisles already filled with Christmas stuff. NO NO NO!  Christmas in New Hampshire means months of cold, snow and ice. Why in the world did I leave sunny California?
