Monday, Monday.
Day 8 of Leptin reset ala Dr. Kruse. Another dip in the scale this morning ... down to 204.6 now. Looking forward to recording anything below 200. I've been up this high for far too long. Definitely time to bring it down.
Weekend was good. Not as productive as I had hoped but that often is the case. I'm trying to look forward to today and my work week.
Weather warmed up and tad and rain, rain, rain.
Not feeling very articulate this morning so I'll just keep this short.
Focus on positives, goals, affirmations. I am an expert in my field. People pay me for my expertise. I am capable. I am determined. I am patient. I am kind to myself. I take care of myself. I sleep well. I like myself. I love my body. I listen closely to my body's cues, respond accordingly, and my body easily sheds excess fat and pounds. I am organized and efficient. I plan well and carry through with my plans. I am financially responsible. I manage our finances wisely. I earn $100,000 a year. Our wood shed is full. I have money saved for a vacation in February 2012. Our dental needs are met. I believe in myself. I am positive. I handle strong emotions and conflict calmly.
And then for gratefulness ...
1. I am grateful I was able to control my reactions (to some degree) to hubby's "not feeling good" last night.
2. I am grateful to have the commute into work to myself this morning.
3. I am grateful my body appears to be responding well to this WOE.
4. I am grateful my son (with our help) was able to get his car towed to his home so it wouldn't get ticketed or impounded.
5. I am grateful for this day, another opportunity to learn, grow, and be alive.
Well off to the shower with me it is!! I'm running a tad behind schedule which is one of the benefits of driving alone. I'd already to in the car and down the road if I was carpooling today. Let's continue to remember, together and separately that we must work this from the inside out. Yes, we can just focus on the concrete. Calories in/Calories out. But I suspect for many of us ... while the excess calories do cause weight gain it is also due to how we view ourselves, how we care or do not care for ourselves, it has to do with self-acceptance, embracing our selves, being kind to ourselves. Just my thoughts ... take them or leave them. I simply know they are true for me.
Oh and squiggly if you read this ... one of your buddy's marylane, suggested you shouldn't eat more than 500 calories at any meal ala Dr. Kruse. I took another look at his blog last night, his guidance regarding the leptin reset and didn't see that at all. I know you are frustrated ... but try to just stick with following his guidelines, making sure you eat enough in the AM ... low carbs, no snacking ... and eat until you are satiated. I think you are doing fine ... you just hit a little bump in the road. I think marylane may be reading other authors about leptin too ... maybe she pulled that from another source.

Happy Monday. You will be recording 199.8 before you know it. We are all here cheering you on. My goal is to get back out of the 180s. So frustrating to look back on my chart 2 years ago and see 159 and now recording 184.8 today. I can't and will not let myself work it off this time only to give up and gain it all back. Life is too short to live it fighting a weight issue. I am ready to be at a healthy, happy level and move on with my life. The frustration is wearing on me, my family, my surroundings.

You are doing so well. So agree with your perspective on the concrete vs.-what would we call it? the abstract? I think of it as the great mystery. The concrete formula calories in/calories out, on its own has never, ever worked for me. Well, maybe when I was 12. Have a great day.

@JC ... I know, I feel much the same but I think there is something for us to learn here if we pay attention!! @ Dens & Cindy ... thank you!!! I am working at it (and hope very soon I can be back in onederland). @ Squiggly ... glad you were thinking the same thing ... personally I don't want to get bogged down in others interpretation of anything.

Morning Carol, I am always posting a day late 'cause I don't get on again later in the day, but saying Hi anyway. Congrats on more weight off, I know it feels good because you have been struggling with so much lately. As always I enjoy your grateful list. Sometimes its nice to have a solitary commute.
