Well I am at home while the family is at camp. That is fine by me. I am sick with a cold anyway. It is cold, damp, and raw out.

I made myself an english muffin pizza with a salad for lunch so that was a meal to take my mind off of what they are eating this afternoon.

After this weekend camp will be officially open and we can stay overnight. When we do that we cook meals and so on. Then I can shop and get things I eat. Or bring it with me.

Since I didn't weigh myself on Monday because of the binge weekend (yeah, I was too chicken to see the damage...) I did weigh and measure this morning. Here are the results:

Weight: 138
Bust: 37.5 (- 0.5)
Waist: 34.5 (- 0.5)
Hips: 38 (- 0.5)

I'm very happy about these results. I expected to gain weight because of the binge weekend, so I'm happy I stayed the same. Also, I did add as of last week 4x a week 30 minutes of pilates with pilates resistance band which has me doing a tougher level of exercise than I've been used to for a while. So there...

Went to another eating/emotional group yesterday evening. It wasn’t brilliant but as part of my overall structure and strategy to live the life I want to and to be the person I truly am its essential.
In the past I haven’t been creative enough or flexible enough with getting my needs met. I assumed or hoped one book one group or even one type of diet and eating plan would be enough for everything. I assumed one source had all the answers. I guess I was the one who was unconsciously rigid. It was unconscious because if I had known better or seen the bigger picture I would have acted differently....

I weighed myself today- 7.6lbs down! In a week! That should keep me motivated for the next week .
I started writing down exactly what I was eating and what is in it, and have realised that most of my carbs come from milk. I live on coffee and can't drink it without milk. 20g of carbs in a day, just from my coffee... more carbs than I want to be having in a day (then like 14g from food... so 34g overall and 14g too much!).
Cream has less carbs but SO much more fat and calories which scares me..
I ordered some Ketostix online so I'll wait until those come and if I'm in ketosis...

I feel confused beginning an open journal. I have done bogs before and never kept them up. Maybe I made things too complicated. This time I am just going to go with whatever feels simple beautiful and creative in the day…. and hopefully my eating and activity will reflect this.

I go to weight watchers twice a week, one of the group leaders began freaking out because I told her I won’t be eating that many carbs. I listened to her before instead of listening to my body, which was quite happy to burn off and use up its fat stores for energy.

But listening to her and...
