Yea!

Weight Today: 197 lbs!
I know I shouldn't weigh myself too often, but really either way the scale goes it motivates me!


I am back! Through diet alone I was able to get back to where I was Thursday before my gluttonous Friday! I tracked every single piece of food that went in my mouth and it helped me stay on the lower end of my goal 1200-1500 daily calories. I also kept up the 8+ glasses of water a day. It really helps me not feel so bad about having a bad day when it only takes me a few days to repair the damage. And more importantly, I didn't let one bad day derail all my hard work. Monday will be a month and I have NO intentions of quitting! I have too much to gain by keeping it up.

Thanks to my family who didn't let me be too hard on myself because of Friday. I give myself heck when I feel like I'm failed at something, but my family helped me by gently reminding me that everyone has bad days and that I didn't let it make me quit.

I said that I would think of some plans for next time there is severe weather like that so that I don't use food to comfort myself.  Well I have been thinking...
1. Chew sugar-free gum
2. Do something to occupy my mind like reading, doing crochet, etc..
3. Get up and clean. (There is always something to clean!)
4. Do stretches and meditation.

So those are a start. I'm sure I'll think of some more. Now I'm off to go eat my lunch salad!
