week 2

Woo hoo! 2 more pounds down this week J

It’s a slow process but I am starting to enjoy making better choices. Weighing in on Sunday mornings is such a reward I feel motivated to do better the next week. The thing I love so far is that I have not even gone out and ran yet. I am making small changes to only this area of my life at this time. I do realize eventually I will plateau and at that point I wall add some physical activity. For now I am going to enjoy the success of good choices!

I was really amazed that even though I ate out once this week (tex-mex even!)  that I still had success this week in my weight loss goals. It is encouraging to know that even if I eat an unhealthy meal or two a week it does undo all my hard work. Sometimes I used to get caught up in feeling guilt over “blowing” the day, but if my goal is to make better choices I am free to make a good choice the next time.

I am still working on new ways to celebrate fine moments if life that do not involve food. I did think about it this week and it seems a pretty common practice worldwide to celebrate with a feast. Maybe I am just lucky and have too many reasons to celebrate!  Maybe an alternative would be to reassess what calls for a celebration and what should just get a high-five.
