Weekly Weigh In: Week 10

I delayed posting this one.  It was a tough week to write about.  I think I finally hit the wall and it got to be more of a struggle.  I wasn't hungry or anything.  I've been surprised at how "not hungry" I've been.  But I have been talking to several people about the program and ended up looking through all the phases.

I looked a lot at Phase 3/maintenance and saw I can have toast and yogurt and fruit and I really want toast and yogurt and fruit.

I think I really just want breakfast I don't have to cook all the time.  I know I could make stuff ahead and just heat it up in the micro or toaster, but its not as good.  I think I want to just be at the end of the journey and not have to walk through the rest of it.  I'm sure everyone feels that way at some point.

I want convenience.  I want to be able to go out and grab something for dinner and not feel like its a big production (even though most of what I make for dinner isn't a big production).

I want to know what the new normal looks like and just settle in there.

I'm half way to goal right now.  This is a big change and I'm betting that the last half will teach me more about perseverance in the face of adversity that the first half.  Because now is when I'm anxious to be done.  I've done this for 10 weeks.  That's enough (well obviously not but that's how I was thinking last week.)

I know I'll get through this mental challenge.  I talked with Dusty this week (Lindsay is on vacation) and she understood what I was going through.  It helps to have someone to bounce that off of.

So here's to halfway and cheering on in the second half of the race to the finish line.

Week 10 Progress: -2
Total: -31.7
