Today Was A Challenge

Here is my food consumption for the day:
Breakfast:
  • 1/2 C. 2% Milk
  • 1 C. Fiber One Caramel Delight Cereal
  • 3 Slices of Turkey Bacon
Lunch:
  • 1 Grilled Cheese Sandwich -I could have made a better choice but was craving it
  • 8 Lays Light Potato Chips
Dinner:
  • 1 Tossed Salad w/ 2 TBSP LF Balsamic Ving.
  • 1 1/2 C. of Spaghetti w/ Meatsauce
It was not bad until I got home from work at midnight and was craving food. I drank a bottle of water but could not mentally shake the cravings. I ate a bowl of Fruit Loops. Not horrible but I did not need it. I ended up doing my Jillian Michael 30 day Shred DVD to make myself feel better...

Today I read a motivational weight loss quote that said the following: "MOTIVATION IS WHAT GETS YOU STARTED. HABIT IS WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING" -Jim Ryun This quote really hit home. All of my previous failures in part were due to me being unable to move from point A (motivation) to point Z (habit)....I am slowly but surely working towards Z...making exercise and healthy eating part of my daily routine...I want to get to the point that I don't focus on it...it is what it is, a part of what and who I am....I am getting there!! I have had many weight loss adventures that consisted of upward and downward spirals. I am currently in the upward stage with only positive energies surrounding me. If you can't be with me then move out the way. I have a goal in mind and will fight til the finish.

  1. The more you practice it.. the more it will become habit, and then your mind wont be so consumed with it everyday(thats the non-fun part-the battle in your mind)...I have soo much faith in you and I am soooo proud of you already!!! I'm here with you every step along the way!! :0) LOVE, YOUR SISTER!!!!
