One thing I did for myself today, I slept an extra 30 mins. I have been so busy, went to bed late last night. My body needed it! I also took my vitamins today (forgot yesterday).
I was honest with myself about my calories yesterday and have not let it send me off the deep end. I'm working on my menus for this weekend so I don't repeat it.
Its my rest day- so no exercise to report... but I did make better choices this morning on my 'cheat' meal. I ate something incredibly decadent and delicious, but not exactly what I wanted which would have put me over on calories.
It makes you feel good and empowered to know that yes, you can be on a cheat meal and not have to go completely overboard for it to 'count'.
Just wanted to butt in here - hope that's OK!! Love this idea for a thread...
This weekend I have kind of 'gone public' with my diet - I haven't NOT told people, but I haven't really mentioned it till now, and as part of my latest 'big push' I've made it clear to my friends (by refusing invitations, offering to be the designated driver, bringing my own snacks to things, etc) that this time it's serious. It's had 2 really positive effects - 1) they've all (mostly?) been really supportive, which has spurred me on, and 2) it's made me feel both really virtuous and also quite accountable. They're going to expect to see results, after all!
I feel very proud of myself, and it's really compounding my resolve. Let's just hope it's reflected on the scales!
I'm starting over today!
I just joined the fitness center at my community center, back on the calorie count, back on plan!!
I gave up, and was miserable. But, I am strong.
I have lost the weight before and I will lose it again.
Today I remembered who I was, who I am, and who I deserve to be.
Today was a success.
Tomorrow's looking good too.
and have not let it send me off the deep end. I'm working on my menus for this weekend so I don't repeat it.
