R2P2 Highest Loading Weight 165.3 Daily Loss .9 Current Weight 142.0 LIW 143.5 Under LIW 1.5 Total Loss to date from R1 Start: 47 Food Tracker:  16 oz sirloin steak, 2 oz sirlon, 2 large hothouse tomatoes, 1 apple (steak day)   Exercise Tracker: Run 2 miles (slow pace, stopped in between mile 1 and 2 for about 5 minutes), walk 1.3 miles.   Wow, I couldnt believe I ran yesterday.  I didnt even plan for it.  I was going to do the JM Shred video, even went so far as to move the coffee table over to the couch so I would have room, and then I noticed the storm clouds.  Checked weather.com and found out it was supposed to thunderstorm in about an hour, so I decided to go for a quick walk before my shred.  And then I was walking for a few minutes, and said what the heck, Im going to run until my legs are tired and see how far I get...and then I went a mile, and was shocked.   Walked for a few minutes because there was a HUGE hill and my legs were really tired, and started again at the top.  The funniest thing was that I had to drag my dog...she was really tired.  She used to run with my hubby all the time but not for a while, and the poor thing is out of shape ;).  Stopped at the library on the way home to pick up some books, fully expecting to walk the rest of the way, and then said hey, why not run (or honestly, lets say slow jog, because thats really the truth) again, and ran the rest of the way home (all downhill, yay!) with books and dog in hand.  Missed the rain by about 10 minutes.  And never found the strength in my legs or the time in the rest of my day's schedule to do the shred.  Walking/running on the agenda today since Im in the office, and then onto Shred once again tomorrow (in addition to Masters Swim).  I feel pretty good.   Just got the Beck Diet Solution (Judith Beck) from the library based on a recommendation from a SparkPeople friend, and have found it interesting so far.  Ill be posting my tasks from that book here, as well as getting back to Martha Beck's Four Day Wins over the next month.  There is no way I am going to sabotage the weight Ive lost by going right back to my excuses and poor eating habits.    As always, stick around to catch the highjinks of a clumsy athletic girl who is going to work her body and mind into a weight burning gorgeous well oiled machine with some slips thrown in for good measure...   Beck Diet Solution (BDS) Daily Task #1: Create an Advantages Response Card   Create a card that you can carry with you all times and review when you need it, or at a minimum twice per day.  On this card you list all the reasons you want to lose weight.   Here is mine: I want to release weight so:   I will look so much better I will feel so much better: sexy, self confident, FREE from compulsion and obsession about my food and my body I will fit into size 2 and 4's I will be a MILF I will be mentally clearer and have better focus and moods since Ill be eating whole unprocessed foods Ill get to cook more and learn lots of great recipes Ill spend more time in the kitchen, with my family I will be able to more clearly recognize my body's needs/signals and meet those needs I will set a good example/serve as an inspiration for my family, friends, and clients I will know I can reach any goal/do anything I put my mind to I wont be embarrassed by the way I look (when running yesterday I noticed this-Im not embarressed to run anymore) Things wont jiggle so much when Im working out Ill get lots of good attention Ill feel in control I wont need to obsess or worry about my body or FOOD anymore Ill be able to look and feel great in a bikini Ill be in the best shape of my life Ill be able to focus more on the important things in my life: home, family, friendships, love Ill be less self critical Ill enjoy my physical relationship with my hubby more Ill have more energy to play with my kids Ill be better able to manage my cravings Ill pamper myself in ways that are not food related Ill FEEL my feelings instead of stuffing them with food (scary and good) I wont feel GUILTY! or depressed about how I look Ill be much easier to work out and do races Ill be able to teach/coach others to do what I did (mind and body techiniques) ill be more sucessful in my careers (coaching and otherwise) Ill have more friends I will have more creditability in my coaching practice My kids will be better nourished, and have a better attitude and understanding about healthy food, and food in general (since I wont give them my food obsession)-this is HUGE~ Wow, this was a pretty cool exercise...but boy, do I have lots to read twice a day :)   After doing this, you are supposed to carry the card with you, refer to it as often as you need to when tempted by food cravings, or stressful situations.  You can also post it on the frig, the mirror, etc.  And set yourself a reminder on your computer or phone to read the card at least once per day at a specific time.
