Motivational Thought of the Day "Anybody can do just about anything with himself that he really wants to and makes up his mind to do. We are capable of greater things than we realize." -- Norman Vincent Peale
What a stressful day. Ended up taking my two young kids to work all day with me and trying to get work done and entertaining them thank goodness we don't have vending machines in our office. So onces again the bug hits me a little less hard at night so NO LAte Night Munching but no exercise either I just soo tired from a very long day at work.
Tomorrow come heck or high water going back to Karate class if not I might get into a rut AGAIN.

Did fairly well today. I didn't get to swim today....I have to admit just to darn tired to get out of bed. No an excuse, reality. I think my first migrane in about four years hit....and that means doing nothing until it's over.
But I did get water in. Managed to stick to somekind of journaling....and weighed in late this PM.... not the same up 1....which I think I deserve. Just didn't care. So I take my medicine and learn from my mistakes.
Other than that, my day has been spent between the bed and the couch. I don't remember them being this bad, but then like having a baby once they are over, you sometimes can forget the real pain.

It's never too late to get it right.

OK, I stayed out of the kitchen last night, even though I was very hungry. And today's lunch is in the office fridge waiting for noon. Still doing the first two baby steps.
That brings me to my week #3 baby step: Learning to put my fork (or spoon) down between bites. This is going to be harder than my first two, because I have to think about it and do it more than once a day. But it's important for me to learn to slow down my eating. I feel full on so much less that way!
My walking buddy overslept BUT I went ahead and at least did the short 30 min route. Phew...bullet dodged. I was really tempted to crawl back in bed because it was cold and foggy this morning but glad I went.
I want to add my 30 minute yoga DVD 3X/week. I did that last week and it felt so good. I need the yoga at so many levels. So I will continue to do back and core work 4X week and make sure I get the yoga in too.
BTW, I am taking today off and really going easy on myself. I seem to have lots of stuff bubbling up.
Plan for tomorrow: Wake at 5.30 for 45 minute walk. Do core and back work too.
Day 15-starting fresh today, this weekend was another not so good one. I didn't plan for obstacles and obstacles there were! I hate to even write this but I feel that sharing this makes it more real to me and will hopefully help me get back on track knowing you all will know about my Sunday eating: Lunch: Crab Cake sandwich w/FF, Coke At the mall: Pina Colada smoothie from Orange Julius At my mom's: fudgesicle At home: pretzels Dinner at 10PM: McD's Chicken strips, ff, root beer! I cannot believe I put all that crap in my body after such a good week. But, I am not allowing myself to give up, it was a setback and now I am back on track! Typical me would say, forget it, I blew it again and continue eating junk from now until I can't button my pants anymore. But NOT THIS TIME!!! I can do this, I am not giving up this time. Jill PS: Bill, I like your Monday morning cheer!
Summer Challenge Goals: 1) Walk 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week 2) Plan weekly menus
Well, I reported yesterday that I had already accomplished my 60-minute walk for the day. My blood sugar reading two-hours post evening meal was fantastic. I am so, so pleased. (I did have to set a timer to remember.) And this morning's number was also very good.
Go, team, go! (feeling a little silly this morning)
I'm not changing goals, as I'm struggling just to keep up with the ones I have.
As we speak, I'm on the internet instead of exercising. That needs to change, and now that I'm admitting it in public (and knowing a few people who are part of my accountability team will read it) I'm off to exercise before the morning gets any further away from me.
As far as the portion control thing, I did pretty good yesterday. Hopefully I can keep it going, as my favorite work pants are loose again.

Life is like a roller coaster, with lots of ups and downs, but the curves, spirals, loops and corkscrews are what make life interesting.
I just soo tired from a very long day at work.
