I know there are only a few of us doing these, but I'm finding them helpful. Join at any time throughout the month.

I think I'll jump in this month. I'm trying to move away from thinking about weight loss and into maintenance thinking . . . which I suppose means not thinking about it?

In any case, I need to tight-up the habits and lose the scale.

Day 1: S-day
Day 2: S-day
Day 3:

Day 4:

Had to think about it a bit this evening but . overall a reasonably easy win.
Day 5:

I'm so disappointed in myself. Before I had the chips I even reminded myself that I wasn't going to like how I felt about it today. But, I had them anyway. Sigh . . .
Day 6:

Going in for med. test tomorrow so liquid diet today.
Day 7:

S-day. Med. testing
Day 8: S - day. uneventful
Dsy 9: S - day
Day 10: -

Did fine until I was sitting in front of the TV. Same old story.
Day 11: -

Day 12:

There is a definite link between tiredness and eating.
Day 13:

Day 14:

Day 15: s-day
Day 16: s-day

August Challenge

we are all different - but this neat formation of 'mrgreen' really does motivate me - it's my favourite thing at the moment - so can't have any 'oops' in there!

Okay, last week was a really bad week. Vacation always does this to me, knocks me off track. This week I'm have 5 green days! I'm not giving myself a choice in the matter.
