We need to change our perspective on "dieting." Dieting is a viscious cycle. Why go "on a diet" when you could eat healthily and stay the same weight for life?

There is a DEFINITIVE difference between want and desire.

Posted by Sean on February 10, 2011

And the minute you figure it out – is the minute you start making that climb to your intended goal instead of (wanting)watching it from afar.

Karma revisited

Posted by Sean on February 10, 2011

So I made it to the gym and did just what I said I would , nothing more.
It was SO hard to not go balls to the walls.

I stretched, did some foam roller work and then rode 7miles on the stationary bike at a moderate pace.
I really wanted to go all out, but I know my back needs to recover.
It’s getting better each day. I’ll be back on track by the weekend or the first of next week.

I guess 1 week out is better than 1 month out. I’m doing my best to listen to my body.
But, damn is it hard.

Stay strong everyone.

The truth is, failing is not the end-all-to-be-all.

It’s just another lesson in how not to ‘do’ things.

Get back up and try again, not making the same mistake twice.

thanks for the encouragement about the super bowl. the party actually wasn’t that bad, not nearly as much snack food as i expected, and they served chili as the main dish which was better than what i thought we might be having. it was hard but i steered clear of the bad stuff. how did you fair out?

The wife made her home-made sloppy joe, so had a few of those sandwiches.

I splurged and had 2 cinnamon rolls for dessert: the really big juicy cream cheese covered ones. I had already allowed myself that treat.

I had nothing else, mostly because I was bloated from my sandwiches.. lol.

I always allot certain indulgences, that way I can not feel guilty, and not fall prey to something unplanned for. It’s a way of maybe ‘psyching’ myself up or out? But it works well for me. Over time the amount of indulgence dwindles to almost nothing.

Congrats on hangin’ tough. This just proves that you CAN do it, and the food is not the one in control.

Stay strong!

:)
