No walking yesterday as I had a volunteer commitment in the early AM - the best time to walk. But today, I was back out and completed 3.1 miles, as usual.

I made up a new batch of the cinnamon rolls/muffins and used the suggestions to add some baking soda and water to the mix. It seemed to help plump them up, but then they collapsed as they cooled! Oh well, still good and I like that additional water (2T) in the mix. Also baked them for a full 11 minutes and I even wonder if they couldn't go a bit more. Can't be too much further, as the bottoms were already browned, but maybe a minute or 2 more??? Might try that on the next batch.

We're set to do a major grilling tonight with ribeyes and some boneless pork chops. That should hold us for the next several days in addition to our usual chicken tomorrow.

In reading various journals over the past few days, a few thoughts have come to mind. We each have to supply our own motivation to do this, or any other, WOE. No one can do that for us. We can certainly be encouraged and supported by others here on site, but they can't give us the "want to" to succeed. That has to come from us, as an individual. We either have it or we don't.

If we don't have it, there's nothing wrong with that; it may simply mean we're not ready to embark on this change right now. Just feeling like we "should" do this isn't enough. You gotta own this change in the core of your being.

If you try to force yourself to do this change because you feel guilty or embarrassed or you feel you "ought" to be doing this, it won't work. Sooner or later (oftentimes, sooner), things will fall apart. It will be too hard, too inconvenient, or too much trouble to make the food choices you need to make. You won't have the time to record your foods. You can't be bothered to read and learn about the changes you're trying to make. You'll say you don't have the time to plan your foods and shop appropriately.

And then you'll blame the plan and say, "It's just not working for me" or something similar. The reality of the matter is that you're not fully committed - really, truly committed, deep down - to making all the changes you need to make, to make the plan work, whatever plan that may be.

Sandy - Good afternoon. I agree with your Journal and I hope I've learned from my past mistakes. At my age I've run out of second chances. Enjoy your dinner!

Buffy, we only run out of second chances when we refuse to give ourselves any more. As long as we're seriously trying to work through our challenges, we can always give ourself a second chance. We've got lots left if we need them! Have a good evening.

Sandy - This time around you haven't seemed to need too many second chances. One more pound and you'll drop back into another decade. Are you excited? Have you refined your goals?

Sandy - Totally agree with what you wrote today. Hopefully, we all learn from our past mistakes, and past triumphs ! I appreciate the support from my buddies and this site, but I alone have to take responsibility for my life and choices I make alone, can't lay blame where it doesn't belong.

I agree with you...very personal individual committedness (is that a real word?), is required to succeed. Each day is a new day, & I think we need to give ourselves permission to treat each day as a new begining (another chance), to live the day, true to ourselves (our goals for WOL/WOE), whatever that is! 1/10 of a pound is just a few ounces, & is seems that is your ticket to the 150's! YEAH!!!

BTW - I am making muffins this morning!

Buffy, you're right....THIS time around, I've stayed pretty much where I need to be. Lucky for me, I like being in a rut! I'll be excited about the 150's when I get there, but I guess I'm afraid I'll jinx it by thinking about that too much. My goals remain the same, although the "bold" pace I outlined in my bio has lost out to the "moderate" pace. But that's OK. I'll still keep the remnants of the bold plan up there until it makes no sense (or until I've shifted to that pace!).

Notfast....thanks for stopping by. I agree that the support from people on this site is awesome and really make the journey a whole lot easier than going it alone. Our own determination and a bit of good solid support will get each of us to our goals if we can sustain the momentum.

Hey Dar, how'd the muffins turn out? You're right that each day is a new beginning....actually there's a self-help/affirmations book by that same title and it's so very true. No need to stay mired in the past, no need to carry along all that heavy baggage. I WILL be in the 150's, just not exactly sure when, and, surprisingly, that's perfectly OK just so long as I keep staying on track. Hope your weekend is going along nicely.
