How was your weekend?
Sincemaintenance is BORING I don't have much to report, here are some random updates bullet style:
Since
- Did you know that I haven't written down what I eat for months and months? Yep. And I only keep track in my head randomly. I don't do it every day. Not keeping track is really scary to this control freak. I wonder why I stopped? Have you seen this recent post by Christine over at Phoenix Revolution? As a veteran bandster in maintenance, she's keeping it real and keeping herself accountable. Do you write down what you eat?
- I had a taste of Mt Dew this weekend. I haven't had it for over two years now...and do you know what? It tasted even better than I remember. But honestly, it did NOT taste good enough to give up my size 4/6 jeans. It's not a trade off that I'm willing to make. Cookies on the other hand...
- How many days until I get to see your beautiful smiling face in Chicago? I treated myself to that town car airport pick up Groupon deal. So no opportunities for El train adventures and getting lost for me. Darn. Those are fun.
I cannot imagine going back to not writing it down. That is what caused me to regain 50+ pounds!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will NEVER make that mistake again!
Can't wait to see you!
I mentally track now and then, but don't write it down. I haven't tracked since my surgery and am glad that it wasn't necessary for me (I hate tracking!). That said, I admire people who can do this, and am sure that it can be a helpful tool!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you in Chicago!
I totally treated myself to a towncar, too. It's going to be fabulous riding in style... I hope.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see ya and eat some 'za. LOL
I track what I eat... it is the only thing that keeps me accountable! :)
ReplyDeleteI mean to track...I used to be the poster girl for tracking. The problem is, since my cruise I have gotten off track of well...tracking. :) I pretty much eat the exact same thing every day and I know from months of tracking that I'm around 900 - 1100 calories per day. I have been trying to get back on track though the last several days of tracking again. I believe it's a very good way for me to remain accountable.
ReplyDeleteI am weigh (pun intended) too early in the game not to track. I wonder what I'll be like in two years when I'm at goal ... hmm .. that's kind of fun to think about. You can also tell us about your fur-child ... :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you!
ReplyDeleteI totally treated myself to the car service! I drink a pop occasionally, and I have such a hard time finishing off one because of how sweet it is! I don't remember it being so GROSS before!
ReplyDeleteSee you soon!!
ReplyDeleteI track track track or else I fail
ReplyDeleteI track in my head every day, but I don't write it down everyday like I used to. I tracked for so long (YEARS and YEARS) that I can really do it unconsciously. Still, I find it helpful to write it down from time to time, just to make sure that my guesstimations are on-point. I find it equally important to MEASURE and WEIGH the food...otherwise your guesstimations on calories can be way off!
