HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Well Hello again (sorry it has been so long....two years, how ridiculous is that)
It is amazing how small things can snap things into focus....it's my birthday and although I re-started my diet properly two weeks ago, today was the last straw for me. For my birthday (and please do not think me ungrateful) one of the people closest to me gave me a pretty box that was filled with bags of sweets. I nearly cried....is that what they see, someone who will be made happy by food! Even though I had been dropping hints about a pretty bracelet....chocolates and toffee (what made it especially hard, is they have seen me struggle for the last two weeks getting things on track!
So, and I know this sounds so cliched....today...at the grand young age of 37....today is the first day of the rest of my life. No excuses, this has to be it.....
Now don't get me wrong, this is not a post about, o poor me, I have lost weight in the last two weeks and I am on track, but now I have my nemesis, that pretty box full of sweets will remain on the living room table, the little bags inside unopened! Everytime I see the box and want to have 'just one, because just one wont hurt', I am going to remember how sad it made me feel opening my pressie.
So my goals for this week:
Update my weights, measurements and targets.
Walk to or from work at least 3 days
Weigh in on Wednesday and have lost 1 pound
Allow myself one small treat each day.....the key words....one....small
Start a Food Journal....and actually use it!
Until next time....
