new goal for the week

Tuesday, November 20, 2012

Finished rereading chapter 8 tonight and decided to set a new easy goal for this week. I am going to blog each night before going to bed. My goal is to review the day and talk about something positive that I have either done or had happen to me. I tend to focus on the negative. I want to be a spark of light for others instead of a negative nellie. Today my positive was getting out of the house for my 20 minutes of outside activity. Tomorrow is a new day and I am looking forward to meeting it head on.

New day new challenge. Just didn't want to walk today but forced myself to get in the car and drive to my favorite walking trail, thinking once I got there I would enjoy it but guess what? Waited to long and park was closing. Did walk for about 20 minutes but didn't meet my goal of 40 minutes. Stayed on track with food though. Guess that is better than nothing. Not sure what's wrong with me today. Just not motivated for anything. Just wanting to sit and do nothing. That is so not me. Trying to figure out why. Hope tomorrow is better.

YOU know I've had days like that too! It's ok - what you must do is think positive about the exercise you did get in. It takes awhile to get into the swing of things. I've lost over 30 lbs and it has been a slow process. Started last Sept (2011) . Just put in the time and track what you eat and I assure you you will get results!! Good luck on this wonderful journey you're embarking on. It's all about a new and improved YOU (and Me). Report Inappropriate Comment

weeks reflections

Monday, November 19, 2012

Lost another 2 lbs. Due to measure next week. Totally surprised that i have ate less on the past 2 weekends than i do during the week. Even Saturday when i took a day off i ate less. The biggest difference i see is not getting enough protein. Calories are close, only went above calorie goals once. Nutritionally not as good on weekends. I think this is due to poor planning and just eating what i have around.

  

off day

Decide to reward myself with a day off. Did not worry about diet at all. No exercise. Did record my food and water intake and do my spark points. Just wanted to relax and not worry about anything today. Back on track tomorrow.

  

movie night

Friday, November 16, 2012

Had a girls night out with my daughter and granddaughter. Managed to stay on track when dining out. I had planned for the meal so that went well. When we entered the movie and I smelled that popcorn I would have been stopped in my tracks except for my daughter. She reminded me how I had just ate and could not be really hungry. I realized how right she was. It was just a mental need for the popcorn and not physical. I made it through the movie without the popcorn and the sense of accompolishment was much better than the popcorn would have been.
