Day 35 VLCD Planned interruptions

With upcoming holidays and vacations, it is often hard to decide when to move on to another round, have a planned interruption, or how long to carry your current round. This is a personal question and for myself there are many factors... How close are you to goal, what is your emotional and mental state? How have your losses been, physical conditions, and of course you must ask yourself of the reasoning... Most people that have tried multiple diets have done so for a variety of reasons... so if you are thinking of quitting, taking a break, or even cheating, do a moral inventory and ask yourself 'why'... and listen to the answer!!! A wedding or anniversary only happens once... tho if it's something you can plan for, do so... births, holidays, vacations, etc, they all can be enjoyed in many ways without jumping in the deep end. Moderation didn't land us in the 'overweight' and 'obese' category, continuous and repeated self abuse did. So, when considering which path you 'should' take, chances are you already know the answer, this is a journey, a process, and a lifestyle... that said, speak to someone and get the guidance if needed and love yourself enough to choose the right path for you!

Day 32-34 VLCD

Feeling rejuvenated, I've taken up golf! I will never allow another to say it is not a sport again! If you've ever tried it then you know! If you are on P2 then I would advise no more than a 20-40 ball bucket at the driving range. I have to admit, I've always liked the stylish outfits and the challenge of the game has me intrigued... I will be reporting more as this unfolds! I have heard many times from those who have lost weight how they are now enjoying new activities, returning to ones they've had to quit, and always searching for adventures not yet experienced... Golf would be one everyone should experience!

Side note, every man has agreed... nothing is more enjoyable than a woman that loves to golf... Every woman has agreed... nothing is more enjoyable than winning a game of golf!!

Happy releases !

Day 31 VLCD

I will be brief, picking up the 'other' half at the airport late this evening and this weekend is ours... There's been shopping and cleaning to do, errands to run and today I'm just relaxing, enjoying the peace and quiet. It's not too often that we get warm weather in Anchorage and today is a day in the low 70's making it perfect for open windows, a visit to the park, and a walk in peace! I have found for myself personally that this journey is one best shared with my higher power. Getting to know both myself and Thy self better has made all the difference. If you haven't taken the time to do so, take a moment and talk to yourself, listen to your body, spend a few moments in active meditation coupled with active meditation, ask for the answers you seek, and be sure to write them down... Miracles are happening all around us every day... each breath we take is proof of that! Enjoy your weekend, your journey, and happy releases!
