The purpose of this blog is to give me a public venue of accountability regarding my lifestyle and my battle with weight.
Battle Plan
In order to win my battle with weight I am going to follow a "Healthy Points" plan. Each day I will receive a certain number of points for doing certain healthy things. 1 pt Drinking 9 cups of water 1 pt Eating no more than 40g of sugar 1 pt No white (bleached/enriched) bread 1 pt No sweets/desserts 1 pt 6-8 hours of sleep 1 pt 5 servings of vegetables and fruit 1 pt Eating a good breakfast 1 pt No food past 8:00pm 1 pt 10,000 steps (15,000 = 1.5, etc.) 1 pt Scripture Study 1 pt Personal Prayer 1 pt Being Tidy 1 pt Stretching Out 1 pt for every 100 calories burned in a workout
Sunday is a free day. I automatically receive full points (except workout) but can earn double points if I actually maintain my healthy habits throughout the day. At the end of every week I will add up my points and reward myself accordingly with cash for splurging on myself--clothes, mani/pedis, massage, etc. 80-84 pts $5 85-89 pts $10 90-94 pts $15 95-99 pts $20 100-104 pts $25 105-109 pts $30 110+ $35

Nothing lost nothing gained
Doctor's visit was, to say the least, discouraging. But I am going to not make excuses for emotional eating--as much as I want to eat taffy. I didn't gain and that's a good thing...
I understand that frustration but hang in there. You could have been holding onto a little water weight, or your body still adjusting to the exercise and not yet ready to let go of any weight, or just having replaced a little muscle with a little excess self. It is always slower than we want but you are doing great!
It is a good thing!! Though if you losing 900 calories a workout, you will lose:)
