Checking In - Back on Track
Monday, July 20th, 2009This past week I have been feeling like I’ve been off track. I was still doing the meal replacement for most meals and eating healthy food for other meals, but I still had that sense of ‘betraying’ myself and not sticking to the course. While I made good choices, I could feel myself getting closer and closer to stepping over a line that would lead me back to unhealthy eating.
The husband and I had a heart to heart about my eating that really helped me to refocus on what I want. I recognized that I haven’t been reigning myself in as much lately as I should have.
Sometimes all you need to re-inspire yourself and get going again is to say your goals out loud.
Telling my husband all about my next goal and how I’m feeling has really gotten me going this week. I’m back on the elliptical every morning, I have my kick ass attitude back and much more.
The goal I am focusing on right now is getting to the 220 mark by my next doctor’s appointment in August. 220 just so happens to be the 100 kilo mark and I’m all about the even numbers and such.
Not to mention how much I would love to walk into that office three months after my last appointment – the appointment where she said I’d have to go on metformin if I didn’t lose at least a little weight by the next appointment – having lost thirty kilos.
It’s going to be tough, but I think I can do it. And if I don’t get there? I’ve still done an amazing job so far.
How are you going?

When I started doing meal replacement, I joined up on the company’s website. It’s a nice place to go to keep track of your stats as well as talking to people who really know what you’re going through because they are doing exactly the same thing you are.

I was responding to comments the other night and came across 



There was an interesting topic on
I know I have probably mentioned it here a few times, but I am a complete stress addict. I would have to be filed under ‘addict’ with how much I seem to stress over every little thing. I don’t think I am as much of a worrier as anyone else, but I am an empathizer – which means I pick up on and take on a lot of other people’s emotions. (The M household is a very fun one, given that Mr. JM can rarely hide what he is feeling from me.)
No, the title is not a typo.
I decided to be brave today and post my weight statistics.
If you have been reading this blog for a while – or just know me – you know that I start things on Mondays. Call it my little obsession, but I have always felt this need to start things on Mondays.
I have to say that I can already tell that stopping posting my weight stats on here for right now was the right thing to do. The feeling isn’t incredibly massive, but I do feel like a stress has been taken away. And it’s not that I don’t think you all understand the highs and lows; it’s all in the craziness of my own head.
