It is important to include all the recommendations as closely as possible for the full duration. This is important because the diet and supplements work together over time to achieve a 'tipping point" where the environment in the body changes to favour the dominance of the good bacteria and favour the suppression of the bad bacteria.
1) Cutting out splenda/asparatame - as much as sugar is bad for you - artificial sweeteners are worse!
2) Cutting out all sugar - alternatives: honey, maple syrup in small amounts, + stevia
3) Cutting out processed food - as much as possible
4) Cutting out wheat
5) Cutting out Dairy
6) Cutting out alcohol

A cry for help!!! Monday 18 Oct 10
I finally weighed myself today. 165.0lbs. That was my guess... and i was bang on! The good news is I don't think that is realy weight. i'm sure I'll be down tomorrow significantly. weekend bloat, salt, bacon fumes :) But its a good eye opener that I need to get back on track asap!!!!!!!
So today is the day. I am going to get my commitment back, my determination back (if I keep saying it, it better happen!!), my ruthless attitude. Weight Loss comes first. there will be another ottawa market when I can drink, bla bla bla!!
I had the best day yesterday, had a facial and did a little shopping and bought these great teas from Jacob & Sebastian... Get Lost (a weight loss tea) and Get Gorgeous (a clear skin tea). Its not really a weight loss tea, but helps curb sugar cravings etc. And nice and warm in the belly. I'm having one right now and its lovely. very cinnamony.
I'm off to a great start today. i can do this.
Today

Tuesday 12 October 2010
Back from MIPCOM. Had a great time. Did pretty well when i was there. so much walking, went for a run, chose healthy half the time, missed some meals. and then ate tons in Paris and yesterday. Feel like I've gained 10lbs!
Luckily I have all week before my weigh in. Getting back on plan. Cooked up a bunch of brown rice, squash, salmon, bought a bunch of salad fixings and other veggies and am marinating a flank steak. Also cooked up oatmeal and homemade organic apple/pear sauce to go with oatmeal and threw in some flaxseed. sounds pretty healthy!
Got up at 5:30am this am. Would like to keep getting up a half hour earlier like this. Just gives me 30 mins to putter, i cooked my salmon this am, tidied the kitchen and I'd like to blog in the am. I was going to start journaling but that is what my blog is for. Now I have our trip to Mexico to get in shape for. and i don't mind. it was fun to enjoy the last 10 days but i feel pretty gross... feels good to start eating better and getting active. i'm dreading doing exercise this am. i would like to find a way to look forward to it. i'll have to think about that.. and how to make it more enjoyable.

vitamins, water, tea

Saturday 7 Aug 10
also i got my period with avengence so that can also be it and the drinking could have caused some bloat etc since my tummy wasn't feeling great so its all good. i've learned my lesson and i can choose to have a nice indulgent weekend and enjoy it as i did. or i can choose to get closer to my goal. its my choice and neither is wrong or right. and in retrospect i would have rathered been closer to my goal so this week i'm going to make that decision instead every day.
breakfast - i found a weight loss present!!! subway now has egg white mcmuffin type sandwiches on whole grain eng muffins... the one with cheese, ham and egg white is only 3 points and if you get the egg white with cheese - its only 2 points!!!! i checked it 3 times! i'm sooooo exciting. i now have this, my egg white western at work on ww toast and starbucks with the plain oatmeal and banana as healthy low cal options.
i had the egg ham and cheese (3)
lunch: 2 whole wheat tortillas, hummus 4tbsp, veggies, hint of dressing, fruit (7)

Thurs 05 Aug 10
breakfast: egg white western (3)
Lunch: diet coke, salad w/chicken, olives, feta (5)
Snack: tea, high fibre muffin (1)
Snacks: veggies, water, diet coke (1)
Drink: prosecco (2) - didn't plan ahead and make a decision that I wasn't drinking, didn't want to let dinner companions down so i drank for their sake, acknowledging all of this.
Dinner: oysters on the half shell, garden salad (3) - made amazing dinner choice and had no bread! congrats!
Dinner: wine x 5 (10) - opened flood gates, once i had a drink decided to go full hog. even had excuse that i was driving but instead left the car. could have just had a glass or two with dinner. all or nothing thinking. and here comes the rest of that thinking
Snacks at home: turkey slices, 100 calorie sweet snack, 100 cal savory (6) - healthy choices but was thinking I've already ruined today and didn't have perfect day and have to starve myself again tomorrow so might as well have snacks tonight. and this is why i've given up drinking. had I stuck to my plan, made a decision, owned it and told them i'm not drinking like i did the month before.. i would have had a 13 point day plus probably a tea and sweet at home so say 15 point day which is exactly what i wanted since i had over indulged on the weekend and wanted to make up for it.
total: 31 - if i hadn't eaten after drinking instead, i actually could have had a pretty good daty too considering. but was thinking i'm on a diet, i'm off. i broke one dish might as well break the whole set! I know better than this but this is also what happens when you are drinking and let your inhibitions down. would have had 25pt day. not bad at all.
learning from this experience!! gotta put me first and make decisions ahead of time, make a plan. but not going to beat myself up over it as i had a great time and i still made healthy choices. i just didn't make all the choices that would get me closer to my goal.

Still had to do 26km run... SO PROUD OF MYSELF. I didn't want to do it but I made a list of all the reasons I want to lose weight, and strategies to overcome skipping workouts and a list of my goals and why i don't want to plateau etc... and i usually just read it when I'm having a good day, not when i need it. but i read it on the way home to talk myself into doing the run we needed to do. and I DID IT!!! the big help was just don't think about it... just get home, put on running stuff and get out the door... just don't mull it over and think of excuses etc. SOOOOO PROUD. We ended up only doing 20km becuase we were beat. I was feeling guilty that we didn't do the whole thing and then I reminded myself... i'm sorry, who else is running a half marathon on sunday night after camping all wknd and skipping drinking and eating healthy all wknd. i'm a freakin rockstar!!! and again... DAMN PROUD of myself!! and I'm only doing the running to lose weight, stay active, so who cares about 20 vs 26km! yeah me!!

Sat July 10/10
Weigh in was 159.8 - only lost 0.8lbs. i am really surprised. I can really see a difference in my belly. and feel much thinner. have had a slight hunger every night before bed which is always a telltale sign that i'm losing. I had 15.5 flex points left at the end of the week and banked 29 activity points. not sure if i should have eaten the flex points. but now that i'm not drinking and eating the same on the wknds as the week i have more points left over for the week. i felt satisfied all week, didn't feel like i needed more. and the exercise felt good. it was challenging but pretty easy. I really felt like this week worked so it may have been additional muscle or the heat. But my plan is to stay the course and keep it up this week. if i still have a smaller loss this week coming up i can look into whether i should be eating more. But 0.8 is still a good loss and i have been losing the last 4 weeks straight so that is the main thing. how it comes off I can't control. i just feel great that i know that i am eating healthy, exercising, have more fruits and veggies and eating smaller portions and staying within my points. it will come off.
Back down to 21 points now.
Breakfast: oatmeal, granola bar, tea (3)

Sat July 3/10
I wasn't going to weigh in but decided i could handle it. of course i had much better day and was much more encouraged to eat well all day because of this. but don't want to be that tied to the number. i think i saw a loss becuase of all the hardwork i did over the previous 2 weeks where i didn't see the results.
And told everyone at the meeting about my struggles giving up drinking and socializing. and was very happy i did. got lots of good advice and making myself accountable. also talked about my plateau.
Now focusing on eating like a week day today.

Fri July 2/10
Feeling a bit sad about last night. Cancelled on friends and overate at home! But I have to shake that off and just get back on track today and I acknowledge 2 things I already know and have forgotten.
(1) I have to tell people I'm not drinking and eating less/or healthy- just own it
(2) I have to cancel social things or limit them to situations I can handle
That will set me up for success and I have to acknowledge this otherwise its too hard all at once.
Now on to being more positive!!!
Going to spend whole day lapping up the pool at Radisson, reading magazines, books, and enjoying the summer calorie free!! Can't wait!
break out 2 new books and 100 magazines, sunscreen, bronzer, new swimsuit! fun fun!!
Breakfast: ww bar (1)
Lunch: pulled pork sandwich, looked the healthiest and asked for no cheese but think it was still on there and had mayo and looked greasy... as hard as i try! But i didn't eat the top bun with the mayo and to make up for the cheese, side salad with barely any dressing (7)
snack: diet coke ww mint choc (1)
went for a walk
dinner: shrimp cocktail, chicken souvlaki, salad (6)
dessert: frozen yogurt (3)
Snack: banana, almond butter (4)
Total: 22
I have to prepare myself to not throw in the towel if i do not lose on saturday. Doing the math I won't be losing this week but I know I am doing the right thing by giving up drinking and eating the same on the weekend so I just need to stick to the plan. I actually don't want to weigh in tomorrow... that way I can just stay the course and not get psyched out by the number. And I have to acknowledge that i had to learn that I have to cancel social engagements to make it easier for myself.
Thurs July 1/10
Going for 10km run and then sailing for the day with friends! woohoo!!
Pre-run snack: lima beans, tea (2)
Exercise: 10km (12 & 6's) - felt really good. burned 680 calories!!
Lunch: 6" subway, baked lays, diet coke (9)
Snacks: 1 sangria, crackers, laughing cow, veggies, fruit, almonds, cookie, 1 sour jube, 1 choc almond, 1 chip, 1 pce full fat cheese - tried very hard to stay with healthy stuff and bring healthy stuff. (9)
Was also supposed to go out for dinner with friends but had a meltdown. I'm finding all of these social occasions not eating and drinking while everyone else is VERY hard. It's making me miserable. Not sure if it will get easier or maybe this week has just been extra tough as they've all been really good events that I wanted to partake in where others i don't mind not drinking or its not all about food but hanging out on a sailboat with everyone snakcing the whole time and drinking the whole time wiht nothing else to do is VERY difficult for me. Not sure if I should just cancel these kinds of events or learn to handle them. i think this week has just been harder than usual. I don't usually have this many fun things days in a row. If i had been in control all day and then gone out for dinner it would have been fine but i just couldn't handle using willpower all day long and the last two nights and then going to a dinner and try to resist.
But I also was miserable at home. it was 10pm, we hadn't had dinner and were too tired to make something or find something healthy to order so I had the other half of my sub that was cold and soggy and was more miserable. and i didn't even have the points for it.
Its driving me crazy that I had to resist all week, feel like i've been miserable at 3 events, doing without, and passing on all the good things but still not going to lose this week as my points are still too high! its so frustrating.
The good thing is I know I'm doing the right thing. I know I have to give up drinking and eat the same food on the wknd to get to my goal. I'm just struggling with all the social stuff. There is lots of non-social stuff I can do that will include a great summer but also feel guilty cancelling social stuff. I also am not telling people i'm not drinking so i think thats making it tougher. I just don't like telling people because (a) i know its boring to be around someone not partaking so if i fake it a bit its not as noticable but stressing me out (b) people will think i'm pregnant which drives me crazy (c) people will start asking why I'm doing and I don't want to get into it because then people say "you don't need to lose more weight" or "why would you do this in the summer" and I don't want to get into my 1yr and 33week plateau.
Anyway, ate way too much last night feeling sorry for myself and not feeling satisfied.
Dinner: soggy sub, 3 ww bread w/ becel, shrimp (13)
Total: 33
Basically giving up drinking is making me feel so deprived i don't feel satisfied and the 2 pts I'm using per day for the one drink is leaving me hungry. I can only hope the 10K will make up for this.
I really don't think i will be losing on saturday which is going to make this more frustrating but I haven't had a good week. And the joke is i've been more careful this week and the last 2 weeks than ever before.

Total: 40 - 21DP = 19 over points!!!
Sat June 26/10
weigh in: 162.2 - I was sooooo good this week i'm not sure why i am not losing. its definitely frustrating! i know I am doing the right thing so i'm going to stick to my plan:
-eating within my points
-eating the same on the weekend as much as possible as I do during the week
-cutting out drinking as much as possible for the next 10 weeks
-exercising to burn calories and weights to tighten up.
however, it is really annoying. as soon as I buckle down and really get on it I don't lose or gain. its like when you are down, more crap gets thrown at you.
I'm writing this monday morning so can already tell you i over did it on saturday and sunday... quelle surprise. reverting back to my old ways. but i know what to do to make this week work for me. I gotta eat really low points this week and exercise and will do well this weekend and then get right back on track. but I can't help but blame myself that maybe I screwed up even though i know for once i didn't. i worked out really well, ate my exact points, had a few points leftover for flex, measuered and weighed everything. just gotta stay the course. its just discouraging.
exercise: ran part way to ww and then ran a killer hill near ww.
Breakfast: egg white frittata, feta, 2 dry toast, ham (13) - too big of a brunch when I'm going out for a big dinner. need to eat regular breakfast. but i want to splurge on the wknd after being really good all week. its hard to break this mindset but i know what to do so i can do it.

snack: dumplings (6)
drinks: prosecco (6)
drinks: 2 kir royales, 1 wine (6)

Total: 67 ajhhh!! a few more than i thought! -35FP = 32 - 21DP - over by 11DP!!! I did do exercise that I could subtract from this but don't usually.

Habits of Successful Members and What I need to work on:
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.
Tools For Living:
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.
Hurdles
-drinking (late night eating, hangover food, less exercise)
-less determination because craving pleasure through celebration (need non-food/drink rewards that bring pleasure: spa, spa cuisine, new clothes, high from running and wkout accomplishments)
-putting myself first (cancel social engagements if they do not fit my plans, plan alternative food for social engagements if food doesn't work for me, plan food for the week and do not alter)
-summer is bringing more reasons to get out and drink and eat (celebrate summer and the outdoors through new clothes, patios with mocktinis, exercising outdoors, camping, swimming, mani-pedis, bronzing creams, showing off new muscles)
What does my ideal healthy lifestyle look like?
-morning stretching/yoga and herbal tea
-fresh, organic, spa cuisine at the dining table
