Constant Reminder

Back to the Beginning
Here we are in November and I haven't blogged because I haven't been on the journey. Sooo, there was no great surprise when I hop on the scale in the school nurse's suite and 180 is what it reads. I'll give myself a 2 pound allowance for the boots, sweater and jeans I was wearing. That little subtraction puts me right back at the 178. I wonder if that is just my normal weight. There was a time when 125 was the default weight.
I had a conversation with the school nurse about WW and getting back on that grind. She was very wary of it because it is calorie restrictive. The concern being that most people can't/don't maintain weight loss because they do not continue a lifetime of restricting calories. My thinking was that after a while of doing WW it would become second nature. However, since I have yet to do it consistently for more than 3 weeks at a time, does my thought process hold any validity?
The nurse is in good shape. She has 2 children and isn't all wide and such. I ask how she maintains a shape while running around. Low glycemic eating. Now I know glycemic has to do with sugar. I'm addicted. Aha! Could that be my problem? Anywho, we sit down and have a 30 minute consultation about low glycemic eating. She turns me on to this "program" that provides resources to help people make this lifestyle change. Now the program has all types of supplements and such, but she didn't push that. I ordered a DVD, journal and low glycemic index. I plan on starting after Thanksgiving full force. For the interim, I will starting reading the literature and do a little detoxing so my body doesn't go into major shock.
PS: I plan on getting measuring tape and a decent scale for home today. I have to track and post measurements for accountability. right?
