I am OP today too and getting ready to get on the treadmill this morning. The kids are all home today so things are a little crazy! It felt good to eat OP yesterday after a few splurges last week.
Ugh...I'm hating myself today...started out good yesterday and then I think hormones kicked in and I went "crazy" on the food front...oh heck...the 'sweets' is what did me in. Oh well...wasn't it Chicken Little that said..."Today is a New Day" ?? So, last night...I threw a container of sweets that were left behind on Christmas in the trash and sent a cake to work with my husband. You all should be proud of me knowing how I love cake.
I need to try some new "foods." A lot of my favorite stuff has been done away with. For instance...Aldi stopped carrying my chicken burgers that I loved. I haven't found one that compares to taste in any brand. I had to stop eating those darn Fiber One bars b/c they were about to kill me....you all can figure out why. There really isn't another granola bar I like....I'm very picky with those. So, I'm just bored with what I'm eating and that's causing me to reach for things I normally wouldn't.
Ok, so I'm still trying to catch up on reading some of the old posts....looks like WW rolled out a new plan. Flex worked for me and I'll be sticking to it. I do plan on shopping more in the outer belts of the stores this year and buying more fresh fruits/veggies that that prepared stuff. It's healthier anyway.
Another thing I found myself not doing with all the stress of December was that I stopped writing in my journal. That has played a big part in adding back a few lbs. So, with that said, I have my journal right beside me, open, and I'm back to logging in the food...Write before I Bite!
Just checking in for another OP day. Carrie, hang in there...so glad none of us has to be alone on this journey. Take care and happy new year, everone....Maaj
Carrie, sounds like you have figured out what doesn't work for you, now concentrate on what does. I agree with you that if Flex was working for you there is no reason to change. The new program is basically flex with emphasis on eating Core foods. There is also the program called Simply Filling which is just like old Core. That is what I'm doing. Stay with us and we'll all help each other out.
