Nelson Wed, 23 Jun 2010 23:48:59 +0000 http://thefinalforty.wordpress.com/?p=449#comment-86 It would be my pleasure! It’s funny you should ask, because I’ve actually been working on a blog about some of my daily “go-to” foods…the ones that have helped keep me on track all this time, and that never seem to get boring! I promise I’ll actually finish and post it one of these days. Stay tuned! :-D

It was so easy for me to adjust my routine from sitting on the couch to hitting the gym, or ordering grilled chicken instead of burgers. Two years later, and counting POINTS and working out still feels like “normal life” to me.

It’s definitely the mental side of losing weight that I continue to struggle with the most. That’s why I try so hard not to beat myself up over not meeting any timed weight loss goals I may have set for myself in the past.

I know I’ll get there, in time. For now, I think it’s my “head” issues that I need to figure out…to make sure I never, ever go back to where I was before!

I forgot to ask you – I’d love it if you shared some of your favorite meals, snacks, etc. I wrote down a bunch of the ones you told me about a while ago and they were all great ideas.

I used to think the hard part of losing weight was the “willpower” to weigh and measure stuff, track it and have a plan for each day. But the longer I’m committed to getting to goal weight, the easier that part becomes and the harder the head stuff it. We’re so hard on ourselves! I wish it were easier to just flip a switch and suddenly just get it and be perfect about it all. So I love that you’re focusing not on what you’ve haven’t done (losing a specific amount of weight in a specific amount of time) but instead focusing on what you HAVE done. You’ve maintained a serious weight loss! And that means serious lifestyle changes! Ones you kept up for a long time. So yes, bravo! Keep up the good work and the positive self talk.
