The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of business travel and school getting out and family vacation and schedules in an uproar. Breathe.
The real Thinking Thin-ner would have been keeping up with exercise, even during travel, and said no to all those lovely Disney World desserts. Ahem.
So because I’ve joined the latest Shrinking Jeans challenge, and this time we’re in teams — Biggest Loser style — I’ve been hitting the reset button this week and getting back into the groove. I did lose one more pound in the last week, but I’m thinking I got lucky!
So even though I am not quite back to the beginning completely, and even though vacations are officially impossible to keep up with the diet/exercise thing (at least with my kids…if you’d like to take my kids on vacation and test it out, feel free), I am really happy about one thing. Portions. I’ve finally figured out the whole “in moderation” thing.
My eating habits ARE changing, even if slowly, and I can tell that as I continue to NOT GIVE UP, change is coming. And even small changes add up to big ones, and I think those are the ones that last the longest.
How are you setting the reset button?

Oh, can I reset the reset button on life in general?

Oh, I hear ya. I've been doing the same thing. Team Red is going for a big win. We have to get out of the middle of the pack after the last weigh in. I'm off to Beth's garage sale and then back home to shred and Wii Active. I'd like to earn my 10# badge next week. Go Team RED!!!!
I'm on Team Black and were about in the middle for this week, but I think that kind of gave everybody a kick in the butt. I like the idea of the teams. I think it is great that you still managed to lose with everything happening. When things are crazy that is when I'm more likely to grab something here or there and then things go nuts. It's fabulous that you are learning porrtion control because I think that is perhaps the most important part to losing weight. I don't think people really take the time to realize how much food they really consume. Keep on learning and losing!!

Oh sister, I hear you. My family held an intervention last night for me. go over to my blog an check it out.
I always have a reason for sweets, I always have a reason to eat and to not exercise. I need to make a reason to eat healthy and to exercise. If only it were as easy. Ugh.
Life happens and I have no doubt you will get yourself back on track!!
I pushed the reset button this morning and got my injured ass (literally!) out and did 2.5 miles. And it felt damn good.
Girl, I am hitting the reset button, too! I just posted about how I over-celebrated my birthday month and then ate my way through San Francisco a couple of weeks ago. I actually put up a Weight Watchers type recipe. Hahaha!
I kind of wish I had to a team to keep me accountable. Might help. Although, staying healthy for the eighty year old lady that is going to be running on the beach (me in 41 yrs) is pretty good motivation, too!
I think the fact that you only ate HALF a cupcake last Saturday shows you are definitely changing your eating habits and thinking thin (plus you looked amazing). There is no way I could've stopped at just half a cupcake, as evidenced by the fact that I ate so much that I could hardly move off the couch.
Girl, I sometimes have to push reset every.single.day. The good thing is that I can and I know I will if I get off track. Push it hard girl, because Team Red is in it, to win it!! We're counting on you!!
Sheesh, is that too much pressure?!!!
Loveyousomuch!

I'm so glad you joined this challenge. Even if you ARE on that red team. ;o)
The beauty of the reset button is that you can never push it too many times. I always say falling off the wagon isn't what's important, getting back on is. :o)
You can do it girl!
