I got to a meeting

I got to a meeting this morning at 730am. My WI was expected gain of 0.8lb...but I got to sit in a meeting. It was at a different place than where I go, I wanted to see someone different and heck the time is convenient. The regular leader wasn't there however, her fill-in was good.

We talked about our biggest sabotagers, mine is easy...ME. I'm my worst enemy for food. If I'm in a group, I'm perfect. When I'm at home and no one can see me, I sabotage. Something I really tried not to do today. I reached for water instead of crappy things and opted for yogurt and bran buds instead of a granola bar. Take a breath and think before I eat. This is my plan for the week.

We also talked about 'yabbits' (or yeah buts). Yeah but I'll restart tomorrow, yeah but its Christmas, yeah but its only one bite, yeah but I deserve to have this, yeah but I'll just miss one workout/meeting. And so on and so forth. I have lots of yabbits but my most common is "yeah but I deserve to have an indulgence because I made it through the day", lol.

My goals for this week is try to minimize the yabbits because gosh darn it they certainly multiply!

And to write a goal for each day, today's goal was to drink my water and I think I got 7 glasses in. This never used to be an issue before kids but for some reason it is now. Its also quite easy to get it in if I think about it. Most time I don't think to drink water and survive on coffee. Which brings me to my next goal, minimize my lovely coffee.

Thanks for all the great comments about my dress! It feels so nice to have such positive feedback. I got the dress at a local shoe/dress store. I think it is either from Montreal or Europe, I could find out and post the details later.

I have the same issue as you... I sabotage myself! I need to work on this (and maybe blog on this a little more as well!)

I missed your post the other day about the dress (I think something is up with the blogger feed)... and I agree -- it is lovely and you look beautiful in it!

Blessings!

I am big with the yabbits and I need to learn to stop!!

Lol on the yabbits. I would say my yabbits begin as soon as I get home. Like you, I do well all day at work because people are watching. But when I am behind closed doors sometimes I eat things I probably shouldn't

As for meetings, I make it a point to get to one every week. Sometimes attending weekly is not possible so if I know I will have to miss a Saturday, I try to go sometime during the week. The meetings kind of act like a restart for me. They validate my hard work.
