is like meditation.
Just keep going back. Back to the mantra, back to the breath, back to the program.
Not working for you? Check directions. Take a class. Do it with a friend.
Weight Watchers works for me. I lost some weight 5 years ago, and told myself if I started to gain I'd go back. I gained 10# this winter, so went back. Yeah, those healthy seeds and nuts? Lots of calories, more than I need. That's why I gained. That and a change in work schedule that impacted my exercise routine. And snow-light winter, less shoveling. I gained.
Back to the program. Week 1. Weighed in: eek. Tried hard, walked far, no chocolate. Week 2: lost 4.6 pounds. Yay! Bought a new dress. Still no chocolate, but what if I starve? Ate lots of fruits & vegies. Stressful week. Ate more fruits & vegies. Did some weeding (see dandelions) but no long walks. Week 3. Gained a pound. Oh no! It's the tempeh, right? Too much sodium? All water weight. What evs. The important bits: get back on program and be accountable.
Note to self: be pos. It feels good to eat right and lose. I have more energy. Kale is good. Ginger too, and fresh spring water. Just get back. Didn't one of those Beatles ... PM, Get Back.
