Hi Callie,
Friday's weigh in was 170.0
Am on track with my fueling and lean/green meal, water intake and reading.
Not sure why it went up, but it wasn't much.
Started going on walks.
Just checking in.

Exercise will cause a stop or slight weight gain. It is initial just stay consistent and you will see a gradual
improvement.
I am beyond excited you are walking!!! That is a wonderful healthy choice. How do you feel when you

Don't let the scale be the only determinant of health. Measurements and how you feel emotionally and
mentally are going to be great barometers too!
Congratulations!!
Congratulations!!

Noted. I was thinking for some reason, that we were supposed to start walking the second week. Maybe
because it said Habit of Motion on the journal pages, but I guess that was even on week ones journal pages.
I like to go for walks, it's just easy not to, i.e. the rain or hot weather. I feel relaxed after the walks. Not that I
have a need to relax..lol
Am I supposed to be measuring once a week as well?
I feel good. Week 2 was a little rough, craving wise, as my period ended (and for some reason I get crazy
teary for a few days after) and I was craving red licorice and a coke and layered bean dip..hahaha. I like
bean dip on occasion, but I'm not sure where the licorice and coke thing came from. I don't ever eat those
things, if even once a year. It's not an issue now, craving wise, and I'm glad to be aware of what my body
may do next month.
My taste buds seem to be changing though.
Things that I thought were really bland are actually starting to have quite a bit more flavor. :D

Do you have a plan on how you will get through all the 4th of July festivities? Let me know if I can help!

Measuring is going to be very helpful when you hit plateaus. I had a client whose weight did not change for 4
months but she lost 13 inches around her thighs during that time. So scale should not be your only
measurement of success.
Keep at it! And have a wonderful holiday!

Am not concerned about the holidays. We've got 2 birthdays, 2 grad parties and so far so good.

Great place to start! Water water water! Especially after taking your first fueling! If you feel the need to reach for
food reach for the water instead! Let's get to the bottom of that emotional response you have to food! Ask yourself
"do I actually need what I am craving? Or am I just caving into a habit I have created!" Stop. Challenge. Choose.
And I am here! Call me if you need. I am so proud of you!

LOL, I'm not really a craving person. I just don't eat. I realized my challenge is going to be remembering to eat,
as that seems to be a big issue that I need to retrain my mind in. I can see how one meal a day is not reasonable
or healthy. So, I've set a timer on my phone. I've been practicing with the timer, the past few days.
It's amazing how much I don't think about giving my body fuel. But explains why I feel exhausted by 2/3 pm.
I've already noticed these past few days, of just having a light snack every few hours, it has made me feel
more energized into the evening. Particularly when I am usually exhausted by those times. :)

So I sit here this morning, thinking about what I need to do. The things that I need to do.
- Start rereading the Habits of Health book and actually do the workbook
- Read The Overweight Mind and journal my thoughts about each chapter, as I feel the need to
- Remember to take my monthly photo on Friday, as I don't think I have done that it about 2 months.
- Measure on Friday, when I weigh in, as I haven't done that in a while either.
- Remember to set my phone for my fuelings. (going to take a second and do that right now).
- Remember to drink my water
- Start Blogging what I am eating every day and how I am feeling right before I sit down to eat something. And what that "something" is.
- I'd also like to finish reading the book Savor, which means I need to get it from the library. But I will do that when I have finished The Overweight Mind book.
Also, I went and cleaned the offices today. That was some form of exercise. The movement was good anyway. I spent about an hour and 15 min cleaning.
The Real Deal 06/08/2017
So I started this blog quite a while back.
A refresher, my cousin lost weight and inspired me.
What I found was, that I thought I could do it on my own. What she was doing that is.
I now realize that there is so much more to losing weight, beyond what I am just putting in my mouth or the exercise that I am getting.
Last year I started this particular program with my mother. One of her relatives was very sick and after years of battling illness, he passed. I think it lit a fire with my mom.
I remember being at her house the day that we had decided to make a call to our cousin and ask for her health coaches name and phone number.
I remember crying to my mom about my frustration in seeing the recent photos from my daughter's 18th birthday/graduation ceremony and being in shock that I was the size that I was seeing.
I just didn't see it. I look in the mirror every single day, and I kid you not, I just don't see the weight.
I weighed 282.8 lbs at 5'5" tall. Not a good combo and definitely not a healthy place to be.
We both decided, that day, to call the health coach and to start our journey.
Neither of us had any clue as to what that was going to look like, beyond eating certain foods daily, that were prepackaged and only having to think about making one meal a day and being accountable for what that meal consisted of.
I thought many times about starting up a blog, as I forgot about this one until today, and journaling my process and progress, but alas I put it off and never got around to it, until this very moment.
So, here I am. Starting a new, with a plan to fill in the gaps from last year. My progress, my moments of trying to regroup and find new momentum, my pictures of physical progress and every thing that I have learned up until this very moment.
So please bear with me, as I try to fill in all of the gaps and help myself remember why I am doing what I am doing and how I am going to get there.
I would never have been able, on my own, to make the journey that I have up until this point, without the help. Not only personal but also financial help from my mother. I know that she knows that this is important for us both and I will never be able to repay her for investing her time and money in my present, as well as my future. I know that she wants the best for her children and wants to see them thrive. It isn't the only reason that I am working so hard to reach my goals, but at the same time, I have so much appreciation for this type of particular support that I wouldn't want to feel like I was wasting anyone's time or money, regardless of who they are. But the encouragement that she has given me, constantly, has been huge. I believe her love language is words of encouragement. The letters that I get at least once a month or when I hit a new milestone in my health pursuit success, the encouraging cards that she sends me in the mail, even though I see her once a week and sometimes more, are appreciated more than she will ever know. They're just nice little encouragement notes. I am thankful for her presence in my life.
