Strike a pose.

This week was of course Canadian Thanksgiving. I hosted for the in-laws which may be some sort of self-destruction since I love my cooking, and have since been surrounded by the leftovers. I actually did pretty good considering. I didn't come close to eating as much as I would have in the past and have been trying to use positive self talk. Instead of being disappointed in myself for eating too much dessert I will focus on the fact that I didn't eat any of the Halloween treats or chips I had put out for my guests. I really think that this has made me really good the rest of the week with my walks and eating. In the past I would get myself so worked up in a negative manner that I would just start continue over-eating until I completly wrecked my entire week. Weight in is tomorrow morning so we'll have to wait and see. I did notice that my double chin is getting smaller and for anyone who knows me this is a major deal for me. My fiance is obsessed with taking pics and a double chin is hard to hide.

Forget working for the weekend-I'm working for the work week.

I spend the entire work week looking forward to the weekend so I can relax. And don't get me wrong-I definately do relax but with trying to eat healthy and working nights I have to prep on the weekends. If I am going to get in my walk, my sleep, work, and a little down time during the week it means extra chores on the weekend like bagging veggies, cooking chicken breasts, etc. Eating healthy can be so exhausting. This weekend our car broke down and the dealership can't get in the part til Monday so it was good for me cause I already got in an extra walk towards the week. I didn't even blog about losing 2.2 pds last week. I'm super excited to get those results, it makes all the walks and point tracking worth it. I use my flex points every week but not my activity points, a lot of ppl from my meeting don't use the extra points but I figure I will continue to do so unless as I get closer to goal I hit a plateau but even then I think I would rather up the activity cause I love to eat, haha. I don't know what it is but the more I diet the more I enjoy cooking, something I always enjoyed must be the super awareness of food or something but this weekend I made homemade bread for the first time and choc dipped oat cakes. My fiance is more in love than ever since I now know how to make homemade bread, it really is true the way to a mans heart is through his stomach, haha.
