I weighed in today to find a loss for the week of 1.2 pounds. I was a little worried that I had not lost this week because I have not made it in to exercise much this week. I am hoping to get my rear in gear and exercise at home more and not use the excuse that I couldn't get to class this week or some stupid thing like that. It's really up to me....no one can make me do it.
Speaking of exercise and class, last week was testing week at my class and this was the first and only time I have not tested in four years. I am having mixed feelings about it. I know that I am at a level that does not require me to test until next term but it just felt weird to not do it. I was there and watched everyone test and move up a level. Not testing made me feel like I was not good enough to move up, even though that is not logical thinking......I am at the highest level I can be right now.....higher than everyone who tested this term. I should be proud of myself and confident with where I am. Next term is the soonest I can test to achieve the ultimate goal in our classes.....will I be ready??.....can I do this???...do I deserve this???...how much does this mean to me??...have I worked hard enough???...will I push to make it to the top???
I need to think positive about this...I can do it!!!! enough of that I just had to get it off my mind and move on.
How is everyone doing with the holiday eating? Next week we are having two parties and I am trying to prepare foods and have healthy choices available and I am also trying to prepare mentally. At Thanksgiving I was doing great with the healthy choices that I put out till my sister-in-law came over and started eating the bean dip and chips. She was saying how good it was and really enjoying it. It made me want to eat more. I knew it was really good, my son had made it and I tried it when he got done to make sure it was good. I had been having a little bit on celery every now and then but when she started to eat it I wanted to join right in. I did have a few too many dips of it on celery still and then moved away but, I really want to be more prepared next time. I noticed my daughter joining right in with her and tried to divert her with out making a scene about it.
Here's to healthy holiday eating and being prepared to fight the temptations to overeat and make bad choices.
We are worth it and will be happier in the long run! Good luck.

I think it's normal to have doubts or concerns, if only momentarily, as we plow our way through this. Good for you for realizing that you CAN and ARE pushing through!
Well done on the loss!
