We are done Christmas shopping except for a couple gift cards we need to pick up and they are all wrapped and under the tree. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I love the whole season. Gift giving is my love language. Now that all the shopping is done and I am settling in for my Christmas knitting and holiday movie watching, I find my mind wandering to New Years. The ads have started making there way to the new year and how you can change your life. Weight Watchers, Medifast, Jenny Craig are all on the move for the New Year New You.
Every year for as long as I can remember I spend a lot of December planning my attack on the New Year. Reviewing my blog from last Dec, I spent lots of time concentrating on everything I had been planning on doing that I didn't do. How I didn't lose any weight or get in shape. This year my mind is not in the same place. For the last 3 weeks I've been having successes in my weight loss. In the last 3 weeks I've lost 4 lbs that is just slightly above my goal of 1.25 lbs a week. Now that I have truly accepted the process I'm not upset with the small weight losses.
3 weeks ago was the week before Thanksgiving. Never in my life have I been so close to the holidays and actually started losing weight. That is the point were I would normally have said Oh well only a month and a half left of this year and with all the holidays I will just start January 1st. But for some reason I didn't. The last year of digging at the reasons as to why I keep on sabotaging myself and my weight loss was mentally exhausting. But if we don't fix our brain and just lose the weight it'll come back. I feel like I have a better chance now that my thoughts seem to be on the right track.
All this being said tomorrow is weigh in day and I this week wasn't my best. I am not negative points but I didn't spend my points wisely or eat every 3 hrs. My most successful week was that wee after all my prep in my food. I need to go to the grocery store and do that again for the next week. I will post my weigh in tomorrow.
