- A   six pounds.

 

       The following things are what I'm going to be doing as I get back into a routine this upcoming school year. I did well for most of the summer and then I went to Love Affair and ate wayyyy too many good tasting, high calorie, high fat foods and gained SIX pounds in one week!! How does a person do that? I thought at first that it was just a symptom of traveling, etc. But I'm still 6 pounds heavier than the day I left for Love Affair. Geez!

So   So I'm posting the following for myself and for anyone else who may have fallen out of routine or off the wagon or whatever you want to call it. Here's to second chances and new beginnings! :)

 

*Accept that you’ve made a mistake. Once you own it, you can redirect yourself and put it behind you

*Remind yourself that the old behavior you are indulging in can’t give you the new results you desire. Remember your personal reasons for working on change

*Do something pro-active that will create more positive thoughts and feelings and enable you to get back on track

*Learn from the experience. Ask yourself what this episode can teach you about your vulnerabilities as well as your personal strengths, resources, and potential for success.

new. LIFE.

In bed by 10:30, up at 6:45...ooh math...8 hours 15 minutes.
Walked 11 miles today. ouch! I think I'm crazy for doing this sometimes. I think it is good for me to do something hard though. I'm pushing myself towards a goal and part of that is hard.

It is a good lesson. Speaking of lessons. Have you guys seen this video?

After you watch it, go to his blog, read it then watch the video about the soap guy. I was just asking for something to blow my mind and I got it big time. This is intense and incredible!!! http://www.zarias.com/
