It’s the weekend, woohoo! Maybe all my traveling made me think of this topic, since I find myself unpacking and repacking all the time BUT I thought we could challenge ourselves to unpack our baggage and make room for the new opportunities.
Let’s unpack the “shoulda, woulda, coulda, I hate I just did” thoughts. I mean there are lots of things that maybe we should have done. Choices if we could go back we would have made. Food we wish we could have said no to. Deviations on the program that we all could say “I hate I just did” that. Okay so there……let’s unpack those thoughts of the past. NOW is all that matters. IN THIS MOMENT there are so many possibilities!
I had a 0.4 pound gain this week, and considering it was TOM, the broken fridge at my hotel, spoiled food, and double digit work hours, I couldn’t be happier. That is the smallest gain I have ever had during this wonderful time to celebrate being a woman (okay I’m trying to be positive with my very negative hormonal attitude right now)!
Anyway…..
Let’s set some NOW goals for the weekend that we KNOW CAN happen. Face forward, enjoy some fun in the sun, unpack, and look up and around for all that’s still possible!
Ever wonder why people always write TGIF but never TGIM.I mean what really is the difference between a Friday and a Monday other than what we tell ourselves?Why is it the majority of us seem to loathe Monday as if the gift of a new day is only valuable if it’s Friday? As I continue to reframe and retrain my mind around food, the Jenny Craig program is also prompting me to reframe and retrain my mind around my self-talk.So TGIM—thank goodness it’s Monday! Why? I have another day to step closer to my weight loss goal for this week, which will be another two pounds. I have another day to stick to my Jenny Craig plan and to rock my JATTNE (Jenny All the Time No Excuses) motto. I have another day of life.
I want to give a little update on my weigh in and plan to share it with you on Saturdays because that’s when I weigh in at my centre. I lost 2.2 pounds (!!!) and that was with six days of the week being away from home in multiple airports, hotels, social settings, and with long work hours. So there I just proved to myself once again that this program CAN be done under ANY circumstances, with one exception – lack of willingness. If you lose your will then there will always be an excuse sitting around to use.
So my reward this week was a homemade bouquet of flowers that I got from a local grocery store for about 4 bucks. If you listen to Touchstones you know this technique is key to PREVENTING a binge and do I ever need that!
Okay….here we go.See you on Hump Day but until then TGIM.
