Well week 7 has came with the 2 lb gain, but other things stayed the same, week 8 came and went with all numbers stayed the same, still have the 2 lb gain but it is the only gain all other numbers have stayed the same. I have figured out one thing during these two weeks...I went back to more normal foods, still restricting my potatoes and pasta's to 2 a week the rest has been meals with meat and veggies... this is a maintaining diet or life diet once I lose all the lbs.
This Sunday will be week 9 and I will come back and log everything in and that is when I am going back to my restricted diet and try to get some more lbs off before the holidays come along. I do have a bit more confidence that if I stay on the diet I've been on or my life diet during the holidays I should be ok and not fall off and crash!
*I bought a pair of pants today in a color and fabric (jean) I've been longing for, they are a bit snug, which I do not like, I CAN wear them though but 5 or 10 more lbs or just a couple inches and they will be mag! so I have a goal lol

Get Back on Track
Ok so I've slipped off and it's time to get back on the right path! I made myself a cup of tea at 5:30ish this morning, sat down to read and then had a good talk with myself after I checked my sugar.... I said self are you going to keep with the blurry vision until it's totally permanent? you've gained 2 lbs are you going to gain back all those hard lost lbs? No way in hell! I am stronger than this! I have learned to walk and talk against all odds, if I can do those things I can do this!
So, I did 60 push ups and my 15 minute workout, I did 12 minutes and 2 sets, that was all I could do this morning (at 6am lol) so I figure I'll work in another 60 push ups and another 15 minute workout...at mim 2 sets hopefully that will work as well as doing 3-4 sets at one time?
I need to fine tune my diet again too... gone into hamburger and fries world again and that is very much not ok, not for my diet and not for my life diet either! I wonder if I'll always been addicted to those bad choices? Well I quit smoking after 30+ years I can surely get control over bad foods! Especially since my sugar is up again and my sight was bad last evening for my last two classes and I was thinking oh no, why have you let yourself do this?
When I left for school yesterday I was proud, I put on tight pants that fit nicely now and my favorite shirt that I don't wear so often (trying to save it lol) and it was big I mean BIG on me, even Kim said something without being asked it was so obvious! I want to continue that route because it feels so good! I mean I thought heck I've only lost 12 lbs and 19 inches after weeks of trying so hard I was a bit disappointed in myself but yesterday it hit me it is slowly but surely working.... I have a pair of jeans to fit into next (;

Workout Sore lol
I did my (new) abs 15 minute workout. I think I like this one better, although with weights it's a bit harder, maybe that's what I like?
I am up to 90 push ups now too... but boy are my arms sore! Must mean I'm doing the job right?
I'm really working hard getting in walking too... I want to get this next 10 lbs off before Sept moves into Oct!
ROFL ok so I want to buy a couple new sexy bra's and some new panties too with the extra money I'll have at the end of the month, it would be a waste of money to buy them unless I'm done the extra size.... so just keep on working!

How to Prevent Relapse
I came across a story of a lady who has lost 119 lbs and this was one of the questions she was asked. I like the answer mainly because it is simular to what I have come to believe which is not easy because we are all inclined to fall and then add misery to it instead of getting up, dusting off and moving forward again.
It is like I said earlier about this holiday weekend, try to keep in control and not eat 6 pieces of cake lol but accept that you will eat "bad" foods or eat too much...there will be many events in life, birthdays, holidays and more, this is part of life and we are all hopeful or should be hopeful to make this a life choice not just I want to fit into that bikini or speedo and look hot and catch Mr/Mrs Right... if they are right they will love you whatever size you are.
You need to take these steps to be healthy and looking good is an added bonus... or at least that's my opinion on it.
How do you prevent relapse?
"Every day is a new day. I allow myself to have a bad choice without having that attitude of "screw it"; I messed up so let's keep messing up and have a piece of cheesecake!"

End of Week 6
Here we are another week has passed. I was very concerned I'd gain this week, eating chew foods and then yesterday I really felt I over did it and made bad choices...so I didn't lose this week but the good news is I didn't gain either. I think I'm going to accept that it's a holiday weekend and I have bad choices, so I need to limit the amounts of those bads I have... then go back to my strict diet, it's working...s l o w l y..... but working LOL I have a long road and a lifetime of maintaining my health so I'll keep going It's at times a very lonely trip but then in my case my life is sort of lonely so no excuses!
Weight is down 0 lb.. total 12 lbs gone (sure wish this would start moving in 3's again (:
Bust down 1/2" total is 4 1/2" down
Waist down 2" woo hoo :) total is 6" down
Hips stayed but total of 7 1/2" down :)

sinking ship
I think I switch over to chew foods too soon :( I am worried that I'm getting out of hand this weekend... we have pizza in the house, we always do but in the freezer and I'm not in love with that kind of pizza...but this is made to order for me and my serving does not have as many calories as some of my soups I feel guilty for some reason? We'll see how it goes tomorrow when I wt in I'd be shaking in my boots but I don't have boots on LOL
On another note, a stress thing that affects my eating habits too... I was asked to do something yesterday that would make it easier for my boss that lives far away and easier on me... BUT it appeas it will evade my private spaces... basically I'd be giving an open door to my computer... it should be able to be private for one user but it's not seeming that way...so I have not said no (yet) I want my son in law to advise me... but if this person can access my private side then it will be no. The more I tossed this around the stronger and calmer I felt it's hard to explain but if it cost me jobs or even a friend it is ok - I am confident that I am ok with the power I have over ME... my ex used spyware on me... when I had a shared computer it was a matter of signing out of everything or ... well one of the many reasons to buy this laptop was so I can have privacy I can control if I want to sign out or leave things open, I write what I am thinking or feeling in documents and it is safely there.
A man, John, who has been with me for a number of years said to me recently that he is so proud of me in how I've over-come so much from speech on... he said :) "you've come a long way baby" I know that is a common expression but to me it was like... the best! So it came to me while sorting out the pros n cons of this situation... why yes John I have come a long way in more ways than you can imagine!
