So I haven't been around the last couple weeks and truthfully haven't been AS dedicated as I should've been. I haven't done badly by any means, but I haven't been as focused or disciplined as I was before. Emotionally I was having a really rough time and that led to the lack of focus which in the end just made it worse. All of this caused a plateau. The last couple of days I've renewed my focus and am trying to amp up my physical activity since without it this is only a half assed attempt at health. I've been much more active the last week, long walks, tons of physical housework (my house is in the midst of an overhaul and lots is being thrown out and re-organized so lots of weights, stairs and physical exertion.
My big flaw has been snacking at night. I can do well all day but when it gets dark and things slow down a lot at night I end up eating carb heavy stuff which, at night, is the worst thing to eat.
The weather has also played a part in the lesser activity because my walks are subject to the weather to a degree. I don't mind walking in a little rain and the cold doesn't bother me at all... but snow and ice is a problem. The weather had been volatile (we've ranged from 14C to -11C in the span of 3 days) We had great weather for a little bit then had a little snow storm out of nowhere.
I'm going in to the YMCA tomorrow to set up a membership (cost permitting)so that I have a LOT more flexibility to work out and be physical regardless of the weather (although I much prefer being outside with one or both of my dogs). As the weather warms up that will be easier though and I just have to keep reminding myself of that.
So here we go again I guess. Time to regroup and get back on track.

I understand completely how the evening snacking can attack you. I learned a little trick that has helped me. I absolutely love the small Chocolate Vitalicious Minicake it is 50 calories and only 1 WW point. I warm it in the microwave for like 30 seconds. I have it with Fat Free Whipped Cream which is 0 points. It is a luscious treat for 1 WW point.

Thanks Lyzanne! I'm re-committed and have realized that when I feel the worst, I need to stay focused the most because otherwise I end up in a cycle. I actually consider the setback beneficial because it taught me a lot about my emotional health being linked to my what I eat and how active I am. I let one go, theother suffers in direct relation. I was shocked by how much! Good thing is I was honest with myself and amnot going to make excuses. It was what it was and I can move forward now!
Ellie - that sounds delicious for a chocolate treat! I'll def keep that in mind if I can find them here. My problem tends to be savoury and salty. Popcorn, tortilla chips and salsa, bread, etc. I just need to make sure I keep better choices easily available which was part of the problem. I was having a rough time and got lazy so I wasn't preparing fruits and veggies in advance to snack on and that led to grabbing something I shouldn't. I'm going to make sure going forward that I stick to preparing in advance. I'm amazed by how much better my choices are when I prepare in advance. I just can't slack off on that.
I'm really thankful for the support I get from both of you. I think a big help will be making sure I'm on here at least once a day. That way I stay accountable andkeep my goals in mind. You guys are the best!
