And with work gearing up, priorities get all conflicting and confusing. And insomnia? Accck! (Mine's finally gotten better, knock wood).<br /><br />Good luck, and figure all you can do is your best! Sounds like the eating thing is the most promising thing to clean up given the time and sleep and injury constraints around exercise. But even on the exercise I know you're pretty creative and resourceful and will no doubt figure something out!Crabby McSlackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-14628395890093577912013-09-11T06:34:08.560-04:002013-09-11T06:34:08.560-04:00Excellent idea to plan menus bdaiss, especially if...Excellent idea to plan menus bdaiss, especially if you get some cheaty wriggle room! And dark chocolate is my go-to dessert for non Indulgent days as it's a little more reasonable in the tradeoffs: fairly healthy, not too evil, and not quite delicious enough to go totally off the rails on. Not that I haven't had WAY more than I need at times! But a bit more self-limiting somehow than something like cookies.Crabby McSlackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-17799320613893462292013-09-11T03:24:41.794-04:002013-09-11T03:24:41.794-04:00"Gluttony and Sloth." I like it. I'm..."Gluttony and Sloth." I like it. I'm like you. I cycle. Good. Bad. Good. But I'm never THAT bad. So it all works out in the long run. That's what I'm trying to focus on because I've been in "bad" mode of late. I've been working through injuries and when I can't exercise like I like to I am rarely mature enough to not say, "Oh F it," with my diet too. I seem to be on the mend in all ways and am now trying to figure out how to balance working out with working, and as you've maybe noticed, blogging hasn't been happening at all, but I mean for it to. :( So I guess my goal for this month is to figure out a real schedule that will work for my life so that I'm consistently getting sh** done. My plan is to work out in the early AM, but then nights like tonight, when I'm wide awake at 3:oo and might not go back to sleep until 5:00 tend to mess that up, because I really feel like maybe it benefits me to sleep when I can. An excuse? Not sure. Maybe. Ugh, being a mature grown up is so taxing sometimes. Wish me luck.<br />GayeGayehttp://confettidrop.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-50844291451936179872013-09-09T17:21:44.834-04:002013-09-09T17:21:44.834-04:00I'm afraid I always start with the best of int...I'm afraid I always start with the best of intentions "one little splurge won't hurt" and next thing I know I'm at the bottom of a box of Oreos. :) However, I have found, when I'm on the clean eating machine two things help: 1) our employee dining room is closed (oh, the fried food heaven), and 2) planned menus, including cheat days. With no guilt. And speaking of which, my travel season is winding down and it's time to get back to it... So for this month: get my menus back on track, cut down on the eating out, and stick to dark chocolate only.bdaisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993906312026049336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-1139198164866061212013-09-09T16:00:39.301-04:002013-09-09T16:00:39.301-04:00There's wrong with over indulgence once in a w...There's wrong with over indulgence once in a while, so long as it doesn't become a habit.

I am glad you enjoyed & you knew deep inside that you would get back to it anyway so.. but many can't or get side tracked & give up.. I am that one that just plods along all year long the same - I stick to my program & plan for the craziness of this time of year with holidays & all that other great stuff - LOVE the food this time of year but I have many years under the belt getting thru it... vacations, the same.. I manage it. I don't like to stray to far off - I gain too easily & my tummy can't handle it anyway! :)Jody - Fit at 55http://www.truth2beingfit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-37689722651659781612013-09-05T21:38:34.307-04:002013-09-05T21:38:34.307-04:00Glad you are still on track with the meditation!!!...Glad you are still on track with the meditation!!!

I have been on diets for years, and truly decided at 34 it was time to be realistic and take a different approach. At my size, I started out at 511 and now way 484, people tend to disagree quickly when you talk about eating based on hunger and making small changes. I have done the calorie counting, the points, and so on and so on. Now I am on a journey to figure this out in my own way. But at the same time am open to others ideas. It was just refreshing to read your post. <br /><br />Leslie<br />www.weight4baby.comLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131975912726973143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-15199866682773465492013-09-05T18:09:01.415-04:002013-09-05T18:09:01.415-04:00I too workout and eat as healthy as I can but enjo...I too workout and eat as healthy as I can but enjoy going off the grid. Hell, I earned it. I'm worth it and all that rot. I'll have to check out kelp noodles. <br /><br />I was wondering if you saw Dave Smith in person, as he lives near Toronto. I've been doing his online program and I definitely earn splurges. I found out about him from this blog, so thanx for that. <br /><br />I've been to Toronto twice but never left the airport. the Sheraton was nice. I have friends living in Vancouver/Pitt Meadows.
