Breakfast: egg whites, 2 laughing cow, veggies, 2 bread, applesauce w/bran and flax, vitamins, teas, water (5)

Dinner/Drinks: had sushi thank god! T kept me on track. could have made healthier sushi choices but still not bad!! (9)
Day 1 of NOT EATING Crap when I drink, no late night eating. normal healthy eating day but with some drinks!!!
this is going to be my new years resolution. 1 of many but NO EATING WHEN DRINKING OR AFTER except healthy dinners.

Friday Dec 25/09 Day 0 of 30 Day Shred
didn't fit in Day 5 of Shred - I will have to do tomorrow.
Best laid plans. got to mom and dad's and felt bad not to eat her nice quiche and pear, walnut, blue cheese salad - how bad could it be right... oh 23pts!!! argh. only did it not to hurt my mom's feelings and put my goals second and look what happens.
so... also broke second cardinal rule... once i broke that dish.. why not break all my china and eat 3 helpings of xmas dinner!! nice.
So had 400 pts for xmas. I wouldn't mind if i hadn't eaten a bunch of crap at matt and christine's parties early in the week.
need to work on all of this!
1) don't eat for others, it's only food, who cares if others aren't happy about it
2) don't break all dishes.. i could have had sensible dinner after bigger points breakfast
3) and i have to learn not to eat when drinking or after drinking.. just remembering that i ate after drinking at matts. argh!!!

Habits of Successful Members and What I need to work on:
1) Ask For Help - I need to phone ahead and ask what friends are serving so i can plan the points, plan non-food related visits with friends like yoga or manis, pick restaurants that work for me, ask my family to stop talking about weight constantly and criticizing the physiques on others, speak up for myself if others try to persuade me to endulge and call them out on it
2) Learn From Your Experience: I need to put my weightloss needs before everything else, to cancel social engagements if they are too tempting, read menus and plan meals in advance, cook recipes and cut up veggies in advance, plan constant rewards of any kind to keep the momentum, stay on plan even when I overeat above my points... i can still minimize the damage and exercise it off.. "what a difference a day makes!"
3) Manage Your Environment: plan meals in advance, read menus and make choices, pick healthy restaurants for me, at problematic situations eat a fibre one bar and have a tea so i am full and then re-assess the situation and how to make it work for me, ask for husband for assistance in problematic situations... go grab a healthy bite to eat and come back maybe, plan foods i can pig out on with abandon that are healthy when thats what i need to do like sushi, make plan for not eating after drinking.. reward system... something to distract myself, dry January, always have bran bites or granola bar in purse. that and a tea will keep me full until i can get a healthy meal.
4) Manage Your Feelings: when I want to reward myself with food think of anything else non-food related that i can reward myself with. also same for when i'm bored, what can i do to entertain myself instead of food. think of non-food related activities to do with friends and family. movies, shopping, go for a run together, go for a coffee together, go to a yoga class together. also when tired and stressed i want to reward myself with an easy dinner (takeout or decadent) that i can eat tons of and not have to count. think of what i can do that with: swiss chalet with baked pot and ff sr cream, steamed dim sum w/seafood, sushi, veggie burger w/side salad with spray or 2tsp oil and 2tsp vinegar and big diet coke, grilled chicken sandwich and small chili, big salad with chicken at pub, salmon w/ steamed veg and baked pot w/ff sr cream, popcorn, dill pickles, light jello, edge pizza. Even better when stressed run to a sushi restaurant. I'll feel better when i get there, can eat a little more and having healthy dinner and relieving stress! Ask myself what am I hungry for?
5) Manage Your Thoughts: If you build it they will come. If I eat within my points and exercise I will lose weight. I know I can do that. No one is force feeding me, no one is strapping me to the couch... its up to me to lose weight. Just like running if I fill my head with positive thoughts "i know I can do this", "nothing tastes better than being skinny", just becuase you broke one dish doesn't mean you would smash the rest of your dishes so just because you slipped and ate too much at one meal doesn't mean you should keep overeating. what a difference a day makes.
6) Monitor Yourself: tracking my hunger and satisfaction levels are something i need to work on. stopping a meal when I'm satisfied but still a hint hungy as I end up feeling full 20mins later.
7) Prepare Yourself: I've done so with my new motto "drinking and food endulgences stop my weightloss, i commit to eating within my points, rationning my flex points throughout the week and not drinking until nyc". I have re-instated 5lb goal presents as well as something to look forward to every week so each time I want to splurge I remind myself of a present I want and i can have if i don't indulge. i've also started my weightloss at where i am now so it seems like less to lose. 5lbs not hitting 35lbs. planning my meals in advance each week and grocery shopping makes all the difference. researching menus before i go to restaurants and making my selection before i get there and am hungry works amazingly well.
8) Take Care of Yourself: Put my weight loss first. everytime i say i don't have time to exercise or i had no choice to eat poorly is really me letting life be the excuse i need to let my goals slide. and that's what i want. if i wanted to put my goals first i would but i'm looking for an excuse to not have to do the hard stuff. but when I put the uncomfortable things first like going a bit hungry or eating that salad instead of the fries or getting out of my warm bed and going running in the cold I am putting me first. taking care of myself, and putting my goals first. this comes before any socializing, work, family, friends. if i don't put me first the rest will suffer. i won't feel like socializing if i feel all fat, i will be sick more often and miss work if i'm overweight.
2) Learn From Your Experience: I need to put my weightloss needs before everything else, to cancel social engagements if they are too tempting, read menus and plan meals in advance, cook recipes and cut up veggies in advance, plan constant rewards of any kind to keep the momentum, stay on plan even when I overeat above my points... i can still minimize the damage and exercise it off..

I have re-instated 5lb goal presents as well as something to look forward to every week so each time I want to splurge I remind myself of a present I want and i can have if i don't indulge. i've also started my weightloss at where i am now so it seems like less to lose. 5lbs not hitting 35lbs. planning my meals in advance each week and grocery shopping makes all the difference. researching menus before i go to restaurants and making my selection before i get there and am hungry works amazingly well.
8) Take Care of Yourself: Put my weight loss first. everytime i say i don't have time to exercise or i had no choice to eat poorly is really me letting life be the excuse i need to let my goals slide. and that's what i want. if i wanted to put my goals first i would but i'm looking for an excuse to not have to do the hard stuff. but when I put the uncomfortable things first like going a bit hungry or eating that salad instead of the fries or getting out of my warm bed and going running in the cold I am putting me first. taking care of myself, and putting my goals first. this comes before any socializing, work, family, friends. if i don't put me first the rest will suffer. i won't feel like socializing if i feel all fat, i will be sick more often and miss work if i'm overweight.
Tools For Living:
Winning Outcome: i commit to eating within my points, rationning my flex points throughout the week and not drinking until nyc. my goal is to lose weight in 5lb increments with a prize at each level. I have already lost 3.6lbs so i am already on my way!
Empowering Beliefs: If you build it they will come. I feared I could not run a marathon but I stuck to the training schedule every week and slowly built up my mileage every week until presto... i could run a marathon almost effortless. I also learned that the marathon was no different than every other long sunday run we had done so all the stumbling blocks we had experienced each week were the same so i knew how to overcome them on the big day. Weight loss is no different. if I eat within my points i will lose weight. I know not to worry about the final number or how i will maintain it... that all the hurdles i am learning to overcome each day while losing are the same hurdles I will have on maintenance. and it may take me a long time to get to goal just like it took me to run the marathon, maybe longer than others, just like the marathon but i will get there and it feels amazing to reach a goal of a lifetime!
Anchoring: again i think of my marathon medal and specifically from kms 27 - 42... i had a break down at 27km feeling like i was rushing too much to see people and i felt like i couldn't keep up but i got through it just remembering to take my time and enjoy the journey and then from kilos 35km to 42km i had a surge of energy, happiness, confidence, the sun was shining, i had my best music, i could hear the crowd, it was amazing and i knew i could do it. i also think of the 30lbs i've already lost. that is anchoring enough that i know i can do it. i've already come so far... slow and steady will finish the race.
Storyboarding: i broke the rest of my journey of 30lbs into 5lb goals with prizing for each. i also planned it out as though i only have 30lbs to go not heading to 60lbs so i can start fresh and it doesn't feel as daunting and i don't think of any plateaus i've had. to get there i had to acknowledge that splurges were slowing me down, i set a calendar up to show how quickly i can get to goal to motivate me, each weekly prize reminds me not to endulge, i'm in training for a half marathon so my exercise continues, i am reading the books, planning my meals, banished alcohol until february to give me a jump start, grocery shopping and cooking recipes in advance, and stocking my fridge at work with healthy snacks. i also took a teapot and water jug to work to fill up on herbal teas and water and have new water jug at home to enjoy spa water at home.
Mental Rehearsing: i think about a stressful day at work where i am going to come home exhausted, dying for some crappy food and lounging on the couch and pigging out until i'm stuffed. i walk home from work with my ipod on listening to some great running tunes to get me excited and i think about how much better I will feel after going for a run and running out all that negative energy. i come home from work, order some healthy sushi to be delivered so i don't have to worry about dinner and throw on my running stuff, telling myself i only have to go until i run off the negativity as fast as i can so its gone and i won't think of it anymore, even better is running to a sushi place like the one just behind the manulife center. maybe treat myself to a new book at chapters in manulife center or a movie after! god that actually sounds great! i want to do that now... i definitely will when i'm stressed! low budget alternative is go for the run and grab pre-made salad at rabba and some shrimp to saute and have a bath at home with a magazine and some product i have before or after dinner. and enjoy popcorn and a good movie after the bath. or pull out one of the many books i have in my nightstand and curl up with that and some herbal tea.
Motivating Strategy: i find this one hard to do without a present. my easy answer is if something is stopping me from reaching my mini-goals I would break it up to smaller ones so i would give myself a present today for eating on plan and exercising.. book a massage or mani-pedi or something. something i am probably already doing for myself but i can now only have if i stick to my goal. i find after a day or two it gets easier and you don't need the presents.
but just a mental motivator.. i could stop and picture myself at goal, how it feels, but i still find that too far off, so i would picture some of my prizes like going into Over the Rainbow to buy a really small pair of jeans that feel great on. that excites me.
Reframing: okay, this is a big one which i conquered for the first time on New years Eve... not eating after drinking.. especially pizza.
1) So i said I would replace it with sex.. (sorry if my Mom is reading this!), i promised myself that when you come home feeling all drunk and sexy why not enjoy your partner and how great you feel and have fun than stuff yourself and be all garlicky.
2) promised myself i could pig out the next day on something fabulous just not tonight and by the next day I knew i wouldn't or at least i'd eat less, or make better decisions
3) just go to bed... your tired, drunk and you won't be hungry when you sleep.
Positive Self-Talking: i often feel sorry for myself if i can't eat something decadent when i want it and i'll never be able to eat tons of crap again with abondement. i have to say to myself that i can eat whatever i want but not all the time so if i want to pig out on thai food save it for saturday and use my flex points and enjoy it. and if i also want pizza and creamy pasta then those two i will find lower cal versions of or eat a little bit every day with something healthy. but i can have whatever i want and there are a million saturdays in my life to endulge so start a list. just like there are a million places i'd like to travel but we have the rest of our lives to go on different trips it doesn't all have to be today.
