Sometimes we need that little time out, we just have to make sure it isn't long. I'm now trying to recover from a week in New Orleans so you can imagine lol. Here's to a great week for both of us.bbubblybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423578980112090148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-29143015732652892272010-08-03T07:01:24.549-05:002010-08-03T07:01:24.549-05:00I screwed up too.

My eating habits have been all over the map the last week or so and I can't even claim that a fabulous vacation inspired it!!! I'm blaming heat, hormones, and honey (with peanut butter). Unlike Roy Reigels who was clueless as he continued to go the wrong direction, with each step we KNOW when we're going the wrong direction. Let's reach deep down, get our attitude and will-power back in gear & turn this puppy around!

But I got back on plan yesterday and it was a little friendlier this morning. The key is that I got back on plan. A year ago it would have meant the end of another weight loss journey. This time it's for ever. I'm learning to deal with vacations, celebrations etc and I still get back on plan after, no matter how hard it is. This time I will get to goal and stay there... And so will you!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07182572208830060896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-47373881187996382272010-08-01T08:43:50.559-05:002010-08-01T08:43:50.559-05:00Hey Jack - glad you had a great vacation, although...Hey Jack - glad you had a great vacation, although the weight gain's a pain - sounds amazingly similar to my skiing in January - I assumed hitting the slopes every day all day would counteract all the food and wine - 7lbs says otherwise. Just don't do as I do, and not quite get back into it - it's taken me til now to get it sorted - you're better than me - get on it straight away and don't regret it ;o)starfish264https://www.blogger.com/profile/14024515361050828981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-72939188335267630622010-08-01T08:43:10.360-05:002010-08-01T08:43:10.360-05:00Turn around and get back to doing what you know wo...Turn around and get back to doing what you know works!!
