Hey There!
Better news than last week! I am down 3 LBS! Sweet! Back on track!
I thought a lot this week about what I would do differently than I had been doing the past 2 weeks when I was not moving forward.
Do the same thing you always do, and get the same results you always get! If you want something different, you have to do something different!
I know better, but I was doing something that does not make any sense. I was identifying my most significant current barrier, after dinner eating, and trying to stop doing this without replacing it with something healthier.
We all know that this is a losing formula. If you eat cheeseburgers every day and you suddenly stop eating cheeseburgers, you have yourself a cheeseburger sized hole right there. If you don't replace it with something healthy, you know what fits really well and easily in that hole? You got it, Cheeseburgers, and you are off the wagon faster than you can say "Did anyone get the number of that truck?"
I have been attempting to slow or stop my after dinner "snacking" and not replacing it with anything, so that did not work. I was eating as much as normal.
This week I did something different so I could get something different. This week I drank a herbal or decaffeinated tea at 8:00 p.m. Just about every night this week, I made myself a cup of tea and curled up with something else to do to so that it became a bit of an event, and that really worked. Most nights this week, I did not eat anything after dinner. I feel like this is the main reason I lost 3 LBS this week.
I am still walking a lot and generally doing really good, so some attention to this current barrier really went a long way this week.
Take away for this week: Don't forget to replace an undesirable habit with something healthy or you will most likely not have the success you are seeking. Also, make sure you are making the time to follow through on your goals because the road to failure is paved with good intentions.
Have a great week!
