Word of the Day...
"Until". That is the word of the day according to Kris, my WW leader. When was your last "until"? Let me give you an example, "I was doing really good at eating healthy and tracking until... " I feel myself sliding into that position so I was really glad that she talked about this yesterday. I'm not ready for another until, I think I'd like to skip that, thank you. I had a gain this week, 1.4lbs. While obviously this does not make me happy, I'm trying to really focus on the non scale victories, and the big picture. I feel like for the most part I was pretty good on our camping trip. There were a couple of times I could have made better decisions, but for the most part I was aware of what and how much I was eating. I was able to hike and not be too winded, I conquered a fear, and I had some realizations. It was not a wasted week, even with the gain. Now it's time to just re-focus a little and I know it will come off again.
This week I am going to work on tracking again. I've let that slip and it is so important for my weight loss. Also, I am at the dreaded 230 point, the place where I always get stuck. Not this time. I may get a little stuck for a while, but I am going to push through it. I can do this! I am going to focus on the healthy guidelines, tracking, measuring, and getting in a few workouts. I know that sounds like a lot, and my readers have got after me for trying to focus on too much at one time. However, I feel like lots of these really are habits, I just need to pull them into focus a little. They are not as big a stretch as they used to be. Exercise, I've been doing things that are fun and that I want to do - so they don't even feel like exercise. So the biggest thing out of those will be the healthy guidelines. Making sure I'm getting all my veggies/fruits, water, oils (which honestly I've never done), minerals, dairy, protein, and healthy grains. Some of those are more challenging than others, but I know they are all important.
Here's to a great week!! What are you focusing on this week?

This week I am going to focus on again... not stepping on the scale till Thursday night. This one little thing has helped me so much the past two weeks. I am focusing on just being healthy. Eating right and moving more!
This week, I need to work on being MORE ACTIVE... going for more walks, going to the gym, and just moving my body MORE!!!
And Sam, I believe you won't get stuck at the 230 this time. THIS time it will happen and you will go lower! YES!!! You are determined and I can feel it in your posts! You go girl!!
