THTP wk6 & RAFL wk 2 - Laura (LJ)

Not a good week.

RAFL: up 1.5 to 215lb. arrgghhh

I can't seem to get back on track after the holidays. I think I am going to
try the Fast Track plan for 2 weeks for the days we don't eat out. No more
snacking or chocolate at my neigbhors. I also should limit myself to 1 or 2
nights out. This week was 4 which is unusual for us. Tuesday is my normal
night out with my neighbor but the other 3 were not planned. One night was
chinese take-out and I opted to have their diet plate: a pint of scallops
and mixed veggies steamed with no salt, oil, etc. Very plain. But I blew it
by having an egg roll and 2 pieces of my daughter's sweet and sour (fried)
chicken. That's where I fall down on the job. Last night was Applebees and I
had planned on having one of the chicken salads. Nope. I had their chicken &
brocolli alfredo combo that comes with dessert. arrgghh. No willpower this
week. Got to get back on track some how this week. My weight loss has slowed
to below a pound a week since September. I would like to get it back up to
at least a pound a week again.

THTP: 4 sessions of curves.

I did work harder on the recovery pads this week and had my heart rate up to
75%/85% on Friday & Saturday. This is an improvement since I normally
struggle to get it to 65% most days.

Well, I will send you some empathy. I have been having a real hard time
giving up the holiday goodie spirit too.

There is just too much "stuff" around. My neighbor who should not have any
chocolate in her house (she's diabetic) has all sorts of stuff sitting on
her coffee table. She's the one that I go out to eat with most of the time.
It is very hard to be faithful to this program with her around.

I'm wondering if I need to start going to meetings again to keep me more on
track. Not sure where I will find the money for it.

Everyone seems to be trying to get their guests to finish off the
christmas chocolates. We were given a box of 'heroes' for doing the
computer next door. That's right after discussing in depth how our
respective diets were coming along.
And why do people keep cheese in the house when they know they aren't
allowed to eat it?

Sorry about the gain, but you seem to know what to do about it.

Good luck

I told my husband that I was going to take all of the candy that he was
given by his students to my school. Let them eat it.

I think I know I am doing but nothing seems to be working these days that's
what is so frustrating. My weight loss has slowed to close to .80 lb per
week from 1.1lb. The change came when I added Curves into the mix. Does that
make any sense?

Hey Frustrated;-) Just hang in there and everything will fall into
place again. I've just had my first week OP since the beginning of
November--feels great, and you can do it again, too.

Thanks Linda. I am going to do the Fast track program this week to see if
that helps a bit. If I can get the family back on track with menus and stop
the eating out then that will help too. Right now it is snowing so we won't
be doing food shopping today. I'll make up menus for the week for hubby to
get after his work tomorrow.
