Sorry for the delay...
I haven't been too motivated to post since there isn't too much to talk about!
This week's weigh in: -0.0 lbs
Total weight loss: -19.1 lbs.
I had a busy weekend with a lot of running around, and a bridal shower with a lot of eating on Sunday (yummy scones, clotted cream, lemon curd, finger sandwiches, chocolate cake... and so on, and so on). It was a hard day to pay attention to what I was eating, and everything was so delicious, I just didn't want to! So, the pay back for that is, even though I went to the gym 3 times last week and ate *okay* the rest of the week, the net effect isn't anything stellar. I guess the positive is that all that other good behavior let me splurge like that without too much damage.
It did raise the issue for me of "gee... I sure do have good excuses for why I splurged the last several weekends... Easter, visit with family, bridal shower... how many more *special* weekends do I really have?" The good news is "none, for the foreseeable future" (that answer changes in June). The bad news is that I have to make sure I'm really changing things up a bit between now and June to make sure I can take advantage of that non-specialness and see if I can get this weightloss back to at least a half a pound a week for the next 8 weeks.
Thanks for staying with me, and sorry my progress has been so uninteresting lately! Believe me, if only for good blog-fodder, I'd like to be seeing some different results here!
Thanks for reading!

It's the not so special results weeks that are the most important, though, don't you think? Especially if we're tuning into how we're feeling and the events that are going on in our lives. I've been cleansing with a vegan diet this month and it's glaring how much temptation is around and the emotions that arise when the temptations present themselves. It feels yucky to perceive ourselves as deprived when we are making conscious, consistent, healthy choices...but what happens when we explore the perception or sensations of deprivation? what happens when we just allow ourselves to feel the feeling and explore other ways of celebrating or indulging ourselves other than with food? It's been really interesting and at times painful process, but incredibly informative re: my attachment to certain foods for comfort, reward or celebration.
I'm so inspired by your journey, Kath. Thanks for sharing!
