Cannon's Journal

Glad you enjoyed the concert. Hope you do have a great weekend. Here in China is been non-stop rain so no fun at all!
 
Hi Cannon!! Just caught up on your diary. I think the gym is a great idea. Don't beat yourself up over your bad day with eating. I can't believe what I've eaten in the last 24 hours. However, back on track I am. Remember what the goal is!!
 
I need to go to more concerts! Sounds like you had a blast. Good for you! I'm going to have to check this guy out, he sounds up and coming!
 
Hey all :) I wouldn't call it a bad day exactly, more like a bad 3 or 4 days. I do have some big things coming up this weekend between a wedding and a housewarming party, but I'm back on the straight and narrow and ready to get back in gear. I will be hitting diaries this afternoon I hope and I am rededicated to the fight.
 
:hug2: Hey you I havent been around for awhile sorry...of course youw ill rededicate yourself to the fight - you want this and you have it in you and I will be here pushing you along the way if I need to !!!:rotflmao:

Not that you are asking, but I have a tip for control at the wedding. It actually happened to me last month, and thought I'd pass it along.

Step 1:
Show up at the reception 30min late, by then most, if not all, of the appetizers have been inhaled by the other guests. Also, there is less time to drink too.

Step 2:
Wait 10 minutes before you go for the bread basket at the dinner table. In my experience, there will be no bread left after 10 minutes.

Step 3:
Eat all your dinner. The portion sizes, in my experience, are not much over 1 serving anyway.

Step 4:
Eat the desert if you can't resist, but dance for at least an hour to burn it off, or burn calories by laughing at other people dancing.:rotflmao:
 
LOL, that was awesome advice Missjellybelly :D
Sounds like a busy weekend, Cannon! Hope the week goes smoothly so you can enjoy it!
 
I reckon MissJellyBelly is spot on. Weddings must be catered the same way in San Fransisco as in Perth!! :D
 
Hi Cannon; thanks for your support in my diary. I'm glad you enjoyed the concert and have renewed commitment to your eating plan. I'm right there with you. I didn't weigh myself last Friday either, because I didn't want to be freaked either. I recall a couple years ago, when I lost 40 pounds, I did not step on the scale ONCE.

Here's to a good stretch of days of eating healthy and exercise for both of us!
 
Scales are tricky and a fine line. A few years back I went from a 64 to a 60 pants size without using a scale, but before I got a new scale that would go up as high as I was it was difficult to motivate myself. I could be really good for 3 weeks or a month and I may have lost 20 pounds, but that wasn't enough to change clothing sizes or really have anybody notice so without anything telling me I was making positive changes I'd eventually quit. This time around the scale gives me more accountability, but I'm not driven by it. I don't let up when I weight light or get intense when I weight heavy. I dropped 2 pounds yesterday - salt I know, but that 6 pound gain from 4 days of overeating and an admittedly rough previous week on the diet front is down to a 4 pound gain. I have a trip 4th of July weekend and I'd really like to be down 15 pounds from where I am today by then. I have been able to convince myself that this isn't a sprint though. Slow and steady will win this race.
 
it isnt a sprint, and those who try to make it a fast sprint get winded and quit, lets take our time walking our way to fitness!
 
As a kid I had a poster hanging over my bed that said: The race doesn't always go to the stronger or faster man. The race is won by the one who believes and always thinks I can.

You can!
 
Cannon,
Sorry about the gain I to have gained ALOT
from eating so uncontrolable for over a week str8 and gained
roughly 10 lbs,yeah 1/2 is probally water but it still makes you
feel crappy even runned down and out of fuel!!The good new's
is easy come easy go so the weight will come back off and this time
we know the hard consequences.Keep getting those walks in and
you'll be back on track before you know it! Tammy
 
Glad you enjoyed the wedding advice!

I just wanted to say that I'm so proud of you, regardless of a few bad days. You have committed to sticking with this and when others have come and gone, you have not given up. When I slipped off the mountain and pulled myself up again, I was so happy to see you still here.

You'll lose that 15lbs, you know you can do it!! Otherwise Mal and I might have to start swinging bats at your feet. haha Have a great day.
 
Hey, I like the slow-and-steady. I feel you--this month has been full of events that have influenced me to eat a lot. I know it's ultimately my decision, but I feel like friends, parties, dinners....people bringing 2lb bars of chocolate into my house....wine, pastries brought by my housemate's mom....my housemate making pizzas...damn all this temptation! But the point is to not spiral out of control. I know you're good with it, but as a yo-yo I am not, so I have to pick myself up and start over, agian and again. It's actually a good thing to stay positive. Thanks for the support!
