100 days OP

this is from april 21, but i wanted it here to look back on. today i'm on day 28!

-----------------------------------

i committed today to 100 days completely and absolutely on plan. that takes me through the end of july. which means i will be 100% on plan for a beach weekend, my birthday, mother's day, memorial day, independence day and our vacation to ireland.

if i'm going to be healthy, i need to do what it takes to get there. and that starts NOW.

well for me, for the purposes of this commitment, OP is going to mean tracking everything, eating no more than my total daily, weekly and activity points in any one week span, and doing my very best to get all my GHG every day. i know i won't be perfect with all the GHG every day so i'm not going to let myself get derailed over that.

i know that i CAN enjoy a big occasion by still being OP. i have done it before, and i can (and will) do it again. it will mean planning ahead, doing some exercise, making the best choices possible maybe even using all my weekly points at once. but it's doable.

i think that some folks on here (myself included) sometimes choose to consciously NOT be on plan. to feel that they have the freedom to eat/drink as much as they want to, without thinking, measuring, counting etc. and that's ok too. i just know that for me right now, that "freedom" has led me to gain 10 lbs in the last 2 months. and that trend CANNOT continue
