Debbie Cousins's Journal, 26 Jul 21

Yesterday, I was up 6/10th of a pound from the already high day before. Yesterday, I rebelled, and ate whatever I wanted, all day long, including copious amounts of Royal Dansk Danish Butter cookies (which are good, but it's not like they're one of my favorite things). Today, the scale was up to 212. TWO TWELVE! Instead of rebelling today (which obviously doesn't make the problem go away or get any better!), I'm going to try to make much better choices. I think part of the problem has been that I haven't had a PLAN. When I was doing well, I would know what the next meal would be, and would plan the following day before I went to bed.

Yesterday, I drank ZERO water. That's not the name of some fancy water, like "Propel Fitness Water" - it means that not an ounce of water entered my system.

Right now, I'm floundering, but I am feeling more optimistic about today. I started with a bowl (150g) of cooked cabbage. When my Amazon Fresh order arrives sometime between 8-10, I'm going to have one slice of Dave's Killer 21 Whole Grains & Seeds bread. They didn't have the THIN this time, so I'll be eating the 130 calorie bread instead of 70 calories. I'm not doing Keto, so I don't "have to" limit or eliminate bread.

I've been totally ignoring my list of behaviors that I was going to abide by after my fast ended. I actually picked up the little notepad and READ them today. A list of TWELVE things seems a little daunting right now. Today, I'm going to work on (1) 10-12 cups of water (drinking a cup now); (2) do my Physical Therapy exercises - which I haven't done in over a week; (3)Protein with every meal (going to go get a little pouch of BelGioioso Mozzarella Pearls to go with my cabbage - that's 5 grams protein); (4) Five Fruits and Veggies (I'm going to go to the store and get some fruit - I don't have any in the house right now). I think those will be good goals to start with.

If nothing else, at least I can make today a better day than yesterday was!

We punish ourselves by eating when we know our behavior is not what we know to be good, healthy choices. God, please he us

You have a great plan and breaking it down into achievable chunks makes it less intimidating. You Can Do This!!!

Please don't forgo the water though. I learned the hard way after several bad bladder infections. Since doing the water better -no more infections.

I tend to flounder and make horrible choices when I don’t have a plan. I’m coming off a week vacation and didn’t even bother to weigh today. I don’t have a concrete plan yet, just gonna try to stop the madness (sugar) today and figure out exactly how I want to proceed.

I feel you Debbie I'm great on fasts but when I come off I struggle big time. The fact that I'm fasting is the reason I'm doing so good about working out, and doing everything on my list. Because I'm so focused on God, my prayers and studying and getting though my list everyday there's no room to think about relaxing and deciding what I want. I actually got to the gym late this morning because I was checking restaurant menus to see what I could eat when my husband returns without going over my calories. At one place I decided if we go I'll just have my favorite appetizer and desert and skip the main meal. It's hard to get back on track but I know you can! You got this. Can you do your exercises in your pool?

Hi Debbie, Supporting your new realizations and dedication to doing better. I'm just off of a 6 month rebellion and not as in sync with what I know works yet as I want to be. I'm glad you are more optimistic just now. Run with that feeling.
