I have been a very bad boy!
Did not weigh in (Don't want to know)
Ate terrible all week - Ben and Jerry's Cookie dough AND a 2 huge bowls of Rocky Road (Freaking awesome!) - Ate half a large pizza (after I already ate dinner) with my boy watching the MLB playoffs - Broke into the Halloween candy (ate about 5 Snickers in about 5 days) - Ate out for lunch every day - Ate some cheesecake at my Mom's - Ate some chips with dip - Ate half a bowl of popcorn with the bride - Ate a couple of bagels - Ate dinner at a Mexican joint (enchiladas and 3 beers) - Ate WAY TOO MUCH!
Walking - None!
So yeah - A terrible week and I'm not getting on the scale.
FOR SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, let's get real here. I get the feeling that you might have taken on too much at one time. Too many changes and maybe it felt too confining--too much restriction---too much deprivation. Or...I'm just projecting.
Ceeboo can you pick just one small change? Like...pick one single food to trade out for something healthier OR eat to your heart's content (stuff yourself silly if you want) and just restart your walking routine?
Like...just...one...thing. Based on my own experience, one small change led to another until what is it--6-8 years down the road-- it's resulted in a complete transformation of my nutritional intake.
I started with bread. Just bread.
Once I got the hang of it, I went on to other food categories.
It's okay to fall off the wagon. We all do it. I remember at one point in the original Score thread as I was commenting on exercise, Cam (he won't remember this, but I sure do) who had been offering advice and encouragement the whole time, came into the thread and said that at that point, *I* was inspiring *him*.
Ceeboo...you could always incorporate some other non-wellness practice into your daily routine. Example, if you were to plug in 30 minutes of scripture study each day or set a new personal policy such as no television/electronics after 10 p.m. That would help to jump start a new discipline. Get what I mean? Then you go to the hell yeah, I'm going to walk today stage!
You just need to feel successful at one small thing and that lights the spark.
I'm telling you, one small change begets the next small change, and then somewhere down the road you look back and realize you are living your best granola life and hoarding dark chocolate covered almonds from Walmart.
