Note to Self



Recommended Posts

Note to self: Don't forget the core principals, rules, (whatever you want to call them). that NEED to be followed no mater where you are in your journey!

I made a post a week or so ago about struggling with seeing the same 4lbs. yo-yoing on the scale for the last month following a vacation, Christmas, New Year's etc. I got back on track with my normal routine and couldn't for the life of me figure out why I wasn't seeing the scale get back on track as well. So after finishing being frustrated, I started to evaluate my days (logging and tracking again to pin point what was going on), I found the culprit was I wasn't getting my 80oz of Water in. Yes, not enough H2O one of the most basic and core rules we were taught from the very beginning of our journey!!! I had replaced a majority of my Water with iced tea (64oz or so a day) and only getting 1-2 bottles of water in.

The point, I was cruising through life not paying a bit of attention to what I was doing, which is good because that means I'm letting go (which for anyone who knows me at all knows this is NOT easy for me), BUT that doesn't mean we can stop paying attention. We still have to be mindful of what we're doing no matter where we are in our journey.

So, what did I do about it, I got my water in all 80oz yesterday, only had one glass of tea and this morning 1lb of those 4lbs was flushed away:-)

So, what do I do today, I do it again and again and again. Don't bog yourself down with getting frustrated, this solves NOTHING, instead really evaluate yourself and figure out what is going on and fix it.

This is just a reminder to myself that some times the answer isn't as hard or as difficult as we make it out to be, we just need a moment to stop and think.

Have a great day everyone!!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
