The past ten days have been just silly...I've eaten more on a daily basis than I have since I started (or so it seems). I'm not ready for 1200 calories per day, but I do think I'm close.
We moved here March 1st. I haven't established consistent patterns yet. I think I need to do that for awhile before I add something else. My friend Marilyn even said this to me on Wednesday and my friend Christi said the exact same thing to me on Thursday. Thank you Marilyn and Christi for both encouraging me!
So today was about walking. I think it would be wise to gather up the things I was doing before, and getting really solid. Those things are:
-walking everyday
-drinking water
-daily salad (I've been doing quite well with this discipline)
-daily fiber one
-no obvious sugars (doing very well, except for last week!)
-getting to bed earlier/up earlier (I was doing this quite well before we moved, but have been very consistently going to bed LATE!)
So, I actually feel relieved to step back as I now can see I was totally pushing myself unnecessarily. Today was a victory instead of a big defeat!
After getting more consistent with the above five, I'll need to work on:
-eat half dinner
-count calories
-get strong
I haven't figured out "get strong" yet and I'm not entirely excited about eating half of dinner! But for now, I have plenty to do. I've kept off about ten pounds over the past year, so that isn't bad. I've also established some really good new eating habits and don't overeat like I used to.
