I couldn't stay on SS over the weekend. I will try to get back on today and stay with it. The good news is I didn't binge this weekend. I did eat healthy. But again I will do SS today and hopefully will form a pattern, a new habit.
Everyone have a good day!

I have to restart doing the Cambridge SS from the beginning, like a baby learning to take her first foot steps AGAIN. Had a really rough challenging day, especially at work. This is really no excuse to go off track but yet I did it again. Today I woke at 5 am after about 4 hours of sleep, to a mess that my dog had made. I cleaned his mess with my eyes almost propped open with toothpicks. Somehow I was able to make it to work by 630 am to find a parking place close enough to the building so I might be lucky enough to not fall and break a hip this time( I am 65 and everything is covered with ice and snow). I am the sole trainer on a very highly technical piece of equipment that provides detection of chemical components. It basically has the ability seek out and find the needle in the haystack if calibrated properly. Doing the necessary training has left me pretty much drained, but it is that and so much more that has thrown me off track. I have the knowledge but not the will.
SuzieQ and PamT thank you for reaching into the "drowning pool" and throwing the life saver out there to bring me safely back to shore.
Tomorrow will be a better day.

That's an awful way to wake up. The last few years of our pet's lives there was a lot of that going on in my house. It was an old folks home for the four footed.
Your job sounds very intense. I can't imagine having to do anything that technical at this stage of my life. Is there a retirement date you are looking forward to?
Have you ever had some of those shoe spikes you can slip on your shoes to prevent slipping on the ice? I had them when I was living in Utah and they were a lifesaver for me. With my disintegrated knee joints, nothing scared me more then slipping and falling Even more so after I had them replaced! Mine looked something like these

Good for you MaryL! Staying healthy over the weekend is a great show of progress for the long term. And..after all..long term is the ultimate goal for us all. Losing the weight is phase 1. Phase 2 is maintenance and that requires a whole different discipline then losing did. Your moderate weekend was a mini-maintenance practice session!

Hi Mary I just saw this and want to wish you luck, just keep going! I did respond to your post to do this through to Christmas and appreciate the support. I love this diet, nothing works like this and if you stray a bit you will still get results, just keep going......
