"To Thine Own Self be True, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man."
Inspiration for Wednsday of Week 3 Induction Continues: Keep Planning Your Work, Working your plan, Having a back-up Plan (it's ALL or NOTHING today, baby!)
*******************************************
Random Thoughts: Felt a little arthritis in my left foot (toe) this morning - hadn't felt that in maybe a year or so - but everything else was feeling okay. Feel a little bloated like my weight may be up to 188. Altho it's TTOTM, not a lot of spotting going on. Given "that time of life" (would that be TTOL?), maybe I'm doing another crazy thing here. I rescheduled my doctor's appt from this week to next; let's hope that next week is "good to go" and not a time to reschedule again. Last year, I had "abnormal cells" which the follow-up revealed were not a problem, but a "watch" thing. My doctor in Ohio wanted to look again in six months and it's time to look again. Now with a new doctor in North Carolina. Which concerns me, too.
On eDiets, my Boot Camp Support Group is having an ALL-or-Nothing (AON) challenge three days in a row: all food, all water, and 60 min of exercise over Tues, Wed, and Thurs this week. I had already done the 60 min of exercise by the time I read it on Tues, so made sure I stayed OP (code for "on program") with my food.
Doing good on the water, but sometimes it seems to be "chug-a-lug" just before going to bed, which means I get to wake up in the middle of the night. Need to fix that: change my habit. Just want coffee for a while before I start drinking water. The coffee wakes up my systems and helps me adjust to being alert (which takes about 3-4 hours usually).
Sometimes I think I should drink coffee at midnight, go to sleep, then wake up at 5:30 alert! Or just learn to suffer the pains of a morning shower using hot and cold to wake the dead! (I prefer going to bed clean, you know? - and remember that little thing about not wanting to stand up in the morning? give me a bath if I have'ta!)
PERSONAL HAZARD (S)- Discouragement with weight loss reversal, needing to be stronger (then) when faced with tastier choices

Assignment:
Progress so far:
Doctor Appt (for your numbers): Did it. The follow-up checkup is already scheduled for March.
READ THE BOOK: Did what I needed, still referring to as I "work the system."
ONGOING ASSIGNMENT: Induction continues: Food, Water, Exercise!! Plan the menus, work the plan. Altering cardio and strength daily- I'm getting back to that; finally feeling a schedule starting to build that will be doable, plus building up some back-up alternatives for if the schedule won't work.
NEW ASSIGNMENT: .
Continuing to develop a schedule and alternatives for exercise. Next week, I think I will let eDiets give me menu choices and work with their menus to develop a shopping list - takes some of the guesswork and pressure off for a week - just follow the recommendations to keep me at 25 carbs (yep - gonna come out of Induction "officially" next week and let eDiets figure out where 25 carbs are (versus the 20 or 30 that could easily happen on my own.)
