Excuses, excuses!

Hello,
It's two weeks since i've been back from my holiday. My weigh in this week was half a pound off this week. I am surprised I lost anything this week as I have been so busy covering meetings, i have had no time to plan what i'm wearing, let alone what i'm eating...lol!
Isn't it funny how we feel the need to confess? What excuses do we use all of the time? I use the busy excuse/ lack of time to plan ahead. Although, I don't really like the word "excuse", I prefer the word, "reason". I have reasons why my plan hasn't been on track, even if that reason is because I ate too much! This week so far is that very reason...I went to a bbq on saturday and my will power didn't kick in til late evening! The hostess with the mostess made these fantastic lamb burgers, I had two...don't even know why! Couldn't decide what pudding to have, so I had a bit of everything, very tiny portions but still more than I should have. The point is, sometimes your will power takes the back burner and you weaken. Sunday, I went for a picnic with my girls. I was very good, pointing everything I took and even pointed the solero I had half way round mote park. Monday...went out for lunch, shared a starter with hubby, not too bad, didn't have a pudding, good, but still feel guilty about what I ate on saturday. In my meetings this week, we are talking about excuses...I have reasons for my weight this week, not good ones but still reasons. The definition of the word excuse is believing you did something because you felt you had no choice, when actually, you did have a choice. We all have choices in everything. It's will power and lack of planning ahead that makes us go for the not so good choices, this is a reason. Reasons offer solutions. For the rest of this week, the solution to having a successful weight loss this week is to cut some points each day, but still having the minimum 16 and increasing my activity. I bought the new ds game with carol vorderman. Its fun, probably not really acurate but as i'm playing, its getting me more active...and that my friends is what its all about! No more excuses! Bye for now...Karen xx
