Well the Easter Holiday is over!!!  Not a BAD day; not a good day; just an okay day. Can I put it behind me?  What must I do to move it forward in  an extremely busy work week?

 

Review what I did/didn't do.

WORE A BRAND NEW DRESS I BOUGHT 4 YEARS AGO.  Planned a balanced meal.  Cooked but tasted a lot.  Made wise choices at meals. WOW when I sat down to eat I thought about my choices and I could actually see my plate. Gave the chocolate I bought away as a gift. I did eat some chocolate chip cookies but only had a 1"x2" piece of Birthday Cake, no ice cream cake.  I didn't record food on Sunday but I kept an accurate log all week.  Ate well rest of the week.

 

Plan.

I need to think about eating all week.  Remember the scale at the end of this week.  Drink lots of water; got to get rid of that salt and I know no other way. Exercise.  Pack lunch for the days I won't be home. 

 

Reaction

I can spend lots of time beating myself up or I can tell myself how well I really did.  Being honest goes two ways.  It is easier for me to wallow in the mire of bad me. I have to make a conscious effort to keep moving downward.

 

Act

Do it.  I know I can. I have done it.

IT WAS ONE DAY.  Get over it.

 

 

This was not my best week ever.  Felt like I was sloppy, really not enthusiastic.  Then came frightful Friday!   Forgot about the fundraiser candy I had ordered and of course it was my favorite. It arrived with horrid results.  I ate 6 oz of bridge mix.  I know because I weighed the remaining peices.   First chocolate binge and hopefully the last.  Great thing about this blog is I can admitted it and move on.

 

By the way I did walk 2X. 

 Walk the dogs tonight - 22 minutes of exercise!

Love Penzey Spices... They have a Country French Vinegarette Dressing base. I add the water and vinegar (usually red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar) but not the oil.   Makes a great light dressing.  0 calories.

 Glad this week has come to an end.  Didn't abuse food but probably did the opposite not enough.  My family shared a stomach virus and while I didn't get sick I didn't feel terrific. Cooking was furthest from my mind.  Recording food, why bother. Work...blah. Whine! Whine! Whine!

There it is over. Done. Complete. New day. New start.

I have been thinking about how to refocus.  I need to set some reasonable goals.  First, I haven't seen the 150's in  a long time. I WILL weigh-in at 159 or below on April 26. Second,  I WILL wear my anniversary ring.  Third, I WILL begin a 10 minute exercise.  (Yes I will! Ten minutes I can do)

 

 Jim and I took a walk today!  Maybe a start!
