This week I maintained my weight again for two weeks. I guess that is a good sign that when I achieve my weight loss goal that I shouldn't have a very big problem of staying in maintenance, but now is the not the time to discuss that. Anyway in all honesty, I am happy about my weigh in cause God knows I didn't track my food and did minimal activity. A hurricane, a holiday, and a family birthday didn't help matters either, but something finally clicked in my head: there will always be something that comes up and I have to look at differently. I have to ask my self, "is it worth it?"
At last night's meeting we mainly talked about the hurricane and how it affected everyone. When I really think about what I learned about myself during that stressful time, made me realize how far I have come in just a little over two years. For those three crazy days, I ate a little more than I should but I kept my portions small. I tried to eat a little more healthier that I would have in the past. That in itself is a huge accomplishment and I am surely proud of myself.
Now it is the start of a new week, and I get to start over. Over the next week, I am going to take conscious effort to track both my food intake and my activity. I will make sure I eat more fruits and veggies. I will try to drink less diet coke, but that is a habit for me that is hard to break.
I need to tell myself that I can achieve my goals and get this weight loss thing done. Well, I hope everyone has a great weekend and happy reading!!!!!
