Day 57/365 Maintenance is the key to success!

I feel so guilty and lame.  I love this journey, I really do, and I feel I have let others down with doing the same thing day after day.  I like to shake things up, spice it up and I haven't been and I apologize.

I have been working on a project and any free moment I have, I am thinking about it.  I will share what it is soon, I promise.  Might be a few months, but I will share at some point.

Until then, I will continue to post every couple of days something more than just "what I did today."

I have to admit, being super busy makes it hard to try to do good, in fact, if you are like me, when you are busy, you like to take it out in your eating. "I'm too busy to think about it, I'll think about it when x is finished." Yea, I have found several pounds with that thinking in the past for certain.

So it's important to remember that no matter what's going on in your life, whether it's happy events, or sad events, busy or slow, whatever it is, you have to remember to keep the thinking that you are going to take care of yourself.

I will say that when I am in a busy mode, I probably won't be actively loosing weight.  But this is okay.  Just don't gain during that time.  If you can just maintain during the busy time you can continue where you left off when you can focus on weight loss again.

I'll explain the pattern:

Loose+maintain+maintain+loose+maintain+loose+maintain=HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS

Loose+Gain+Maintain+Loose+Gain+Gain=YO YO (Not healthy & VERY frustrating)

So take the pressure off of the "I have to loose" mentality, because it puts on too much pressure.  If you keep the "Healthy choices" mentality and that maintenance is your best friend during stress, you will always come out on top.


What I did today:

  2. Sometimes it's such an easy thing...that it's difficult! Maintenance sometimes seems harder than loosing because we get relaxed in our efforts. (At least for me!) :o)
