Regain happens. It’s how you react to it that really makes a difference. There’s lots of talk about regain after weight loss surgery. I can tell you first hand if you don’t address regain right way it gets more difficult to get back off.

When I am aware of:

1. what I eat and
2. how I move and
3. what I weigh

then I am most well.

This is my first weigh in towards my Losing the Regain efforts.  I decided to weigh in on Mondays during my focused attention plan towards my regain loss.  I’m doing a focused challenge for the next 11 weeks until my vacation on June 25th.  Choosing Mondays for my weigh in was a bit scary.  Weekends are my down fall and todays weigh in was right on the money. 

Video update from me today. Weighed in for the start of my Losing the Regain effort. As I mentioned earlier I want to video tape the hard times. I want to talk about what my brain is saying to myself. I want to look back and watch these videos.

Did I actually do that today? Did I post my pre and post holiday weight on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!? I did it without thinking. I did it because I was happy with myself. Because I wanted to share it with those who’d understand. I did it and it’s not really bothering me.  Why?

There were a couple of surprises for me today.  First off I jumped on the scale and felt really good about what I saw.  I haven’t weighed myself in a while actually let’s be exact, since August 27th.  My losing my regain page can show you my history.  But I was exactly the same weight.  I love that.  I didn’t expect that.  I was ready to be accountable for my last four weeks of no weighing in and there it was.  I was happy.  I have been running three times a week and watching my portions, but to be honest have not focused on losing. I’ve been more focused on running, I’m committed to three days a week.  So why was I crying?
