Last Week

I did it!  I went to bed last night feeling very good about myself.  I reveiwed my journal for this past week and I did it.  I made it through all 7 days on track.  I worked out each day, some days twice.   I ate within my calorie limits every day but one, and that day I was only out by 96 calories (and 3 of the days I was below the limit by a several hundred, making my daily average below for the entire week).   And best of all, I feel good!!!  

I felt confident enough to face the scale this morning.  Here comes being accountable of my actions over the summer.  YIKES, I was scared.   I was also hoping, okay for a miracle, that one good week would erase a summer of poor choices.  (okay, I can dream sometimes can't I?)  Well, not as bad as I thought 4.5 lbs over what I was went I moved to the lake.  (It was probably higher last Monday, so I am grateful for that).   But I know that 4.5 lbs is something I can handle getting off me.  And I know if I keep on track, it won't take me long either.  So I'm handling it okay - at least for things minute. 

The great thing is - this week I know is going to be another good week.  How do I know this?  Well I have the following in my favor:

  • my workouts are planned and on paper,
  • the grocery shopping is done and there is no junk to eat,
  • I don't have any meals that have to be eaten out (I make horrible choices when I eat out),
  • the weather is going to be great, so I can get outside as additional activity to my scheduled workouts,
  • I feel amazing and better than I did all summer,
  • a tiny bit and I'll be back in the 120s,
  • I've set a small, tiny, goal to meet by 10/2, and
  • I'm motivated right now!!!

    • So I'm set for a good week.  And being accountable for a good week is much easier than being accountable for poor choices!!!!   I'm looking forward to another successful week.  Are you??  Hope you're having a great start to it anyway.

    Yay!

    4.5lbs is not bad at all for a truly enjoyable summer.  Like you said, you know you can get those few pounds back off.  Great determination!

    that's it?

    4.5 lbs?  I thought you were going to say 20 or something.  I know it's not a small amount to you, and I'm not making lite of it, I just expected it to be more with the things you were sharing. YAY!!  That's a good thing. 

    GREAT JOB staying on plan.  You are well on your way to capturing those old habits again. 

    Have a great week.
