Day 4 (again)

I am definitely more focused this time around. I can feel it.

I know that yesterday's weight loss is not normal, but it did help. Being sick though is not a healthy way to lose weight.

I am much better today thank goodness. I am making healthier choices. It even started when I was leaving Target. I really wanted to do the lazy thing and grab something for the girls and I when I headed home, but I talked myself out of it. Ashlynn is usually happy with a pb&j sandwich. Peyton is good with chicken nuggets. I'm glad that they are not picky eaters. It helps me to stay encouraged knowing that I can always feed my girls at home and don't need to go out. With that being said, I didn't even drive my car the way I would to go to a fast food place. I brought the girls home, made them lunch and fixed myself a couple pieces of blackened parmesan crusted tilapia. It was very yummy and filling. I'm very glad for not giving into my bad food want and coming home and eating sensible.

A website I frequently visit is Sparkpeople. It is a great site full of wonderful advice, recipes, and people all working on the same goals. I love this site. I am on the Daily weigh-in team. One of my teammates sent me an email with some encouraging words. I may have been kidding myself with some of my goals. She gave me some food for thought. I am going to reevaluate my goals and see if I can't make them more realistic.

As of today I am down 3.6 lbs. A good start!! Here's to the new me!!!

  1. Choosing to not eat out, when it is so much easier to, has been a really big thing for me to do. We didn't eat out much as a kid, so going out was always to treat myself. Changing the way I see eating out has helped me make better choices but its sooo hard. Good for you!
