A bunch of friends that have been doing Naturally Slim for awhile now have decided to “start over” as if we were on Day 1 of the program again. We’ve all been sort of stalled (maintaining, if you will) or slightly gaining over the holidays and have decided a refresh is in order. And I’ve always said that if what I’m doing isn’t working I will go back to ALL the basics to get started again. (I’ve been following most of the rules, but have gotten a bit slack over the past month and especially slack over the last two weeks.)
As you know, I really wanted to make 100 by Christmas or the end of the year but after this past week I’m pretty sure I’ll have gained two pounds this week (I’ll find out in the morning) and I want the fluff gone before it turns into real weight…so I might as well start ASAP. I was originally going to start with them on January 3, but today thought “Why wait? Why give myself permission to splurge for another whole week?” Which means tomorrow I’ll be starting fresh for my next 30-40#.
I need to do everything by the book, just as I said I’d do if things stopped working.
- I’ve been eating too fast.
- I’ve been eating too much.
- I’ve been eating too much off-schedule sugar.
- I’ve not been drinking enough.
- I’ve not been keeping up with my exercise.
- And I’ve been eating when I’m not hungry.
I tried to have a last glass of wine tonight and it didn’t even taste good (but it was box wine that’s been open for a month) so I dumped it all out. I did splurge on a few peanut M&Ms and caramel corn, but even that splurging wasn’t a quarter as much as a previous splurge would have been.
HERE WE GO!
P.S. Also on my mind? This happened a few days ago on Twitter:
Whoa. So I have extra motivation to GET. IT. DONE!
That is awesome! Like I said, I can see you working for them eventually! Why not!
