UPDATE..
We are 2 days into the week and I am happy to report that I have managed (with very little trouble) to get back to weighing, measuring and logging 100% and I have kept my calories under 1800. The scale even seems to be cooperating!
It's all such a head game. The only way I was going to get back to this 100% was to get my mental game back. Basically I reminded myself of the commitment I made on 2/28/11. Stick to 1800 calories for 1 year, every day, no ifs ands or buts! If you don't give yourself a choice, then it's easier to stick to it. But when you present it to yourself like you "need" to or "should" or "want to" it leaves that door open. That door needs to be slammed shut, you "are" doing this. Period.
Saturday and Sunday are both social events and not with family, so I can't bring my own food. I fessed up to mom about last weekend. My hope was that since she'll be the one with me at both events, that will encourage good behavior!
On Oct 1, I am doing a 5K walk and Courtney and Marci Crozier from the biggest loser will be there. I think that will be inspiring and the timing couldn't be better. And I am starting an 8 week fitness for life program on Oct 17 that runs through Dec 4. It's 8 weeks of classes and I get a memebreship to a gym, they plan out a workout program and an eating plan. I think this will be just the thing I need to keep me focused through the holidays! Plus the guy who runs the class is the owner of the gym and I think knowing someone is expecting me to do well will help!

That is awesome Sandi! You are right. You have to shut that door and say I am doing this. Period. I struggled with keeping to plan 100% over the last several weeks. We had a lot of things happening and I let my emotions take over. Lucky for me, I maintained, but I could have very easily just tossed in the towel and said what the hell but I didn't. You inspire me and I feel more focused now that before all because of what you wrote!
I just love ya! :) Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see your end result. Great job so far!!
Thatta girl! The old Sandi may have given up after faltering, but this determined, focused Sandi is right back on plan.
The increase in fitness level leading up to Christmas is fantasic. I know I'm stressing a bit about the upcoming holiday season and will take your lead and put in extra time at the gym. Thanks!
