Well today was the dreaded weigh in day and it turned out GREAT. I had lost 4.2 lbs! I was pleasantly surprised and happy! I have to be honest...I was quite nervous just because last week was kind of a let down! Our topic today was on being active and even though I know the key to this whole thing is not only diet but also exercise it was quite motivating!
It's funny because I was at the grocery store tonight and in my mind I thought I deserved a reward because I did so well today. Well keep in mind my rewards have always been food! So, I decided I would get something I enjoy! I have never spent so much time looking at points on candy to realize there really isn't a good candy!! I was happy that I took the time to look into it versus buying it impulsively; however, I was quite disappointed that I couldn't find a good candy!!!!!!!!!!
I have said this over and over but I find healthy eating to be a lot of work! There is so much planning that needs to take place so I don't just give in and eat whatever is there. One of my co-workers was so nice today. She wanted to bake so she took it upon herself to look up a weight watchers cookie recipe. She told us that she wanted to bring a treat but she knew that a bunch of us were trying so hard so she wanted to bring something we could all eat! It's nice to work at a place like that!
Well...I'm going to end here. I'm watching Biggest Loser right now and for those of you that watch it...Jillian is on a role so I need to listen!! Maybe she should come and talk to some of our clients!!!!
Love and Peace to all.....Jvonne

Hey, J ~ a few years ago I was diagnosed with a wheat intolerance (along with chocolate, coffee, dairy, and a whole list of other foods). I'm not allergic, but my body doesn't process them...which would explain all of the internal problems I've had over the years. (TMI?) :) Anyway, the reason I share that is because as I'm catching up on your blog (love it!) I'm reminded of how incredibly difficult the change of diet was for me. So much so that I simply gave up and started again many times. Having to learn something new is so SO hard...but now I can say it has gotten a lot easier. Partly because I'm so aware of how many great choices there are out there...partly because I've discovered new tastes to replace the prior cravings (not always, but usually)...and mostly because I've seen the benefits of the changes.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so great ~ I enjoy your style of writing, but I enjoy even more your transparency and willingness to be real with yourself "out loud." Keep on keeping on, Jvonne! (ummm, errrr...didn't mean to make a rhyme, but, hey, I'll take it this time. :) )
You're doing GREAT!! Looking forward to catching up even more when time permits, but wanted to comment and encourage you in your journey to health.
One last thing...Denita used to make me cheer and clap for myself when I had finished the Denise Austin videos in my dorm room. LOL! Be sure to do the same for you when you've given temptation the boot...give yourself a "whoop-whoop!" when you get back in the car and revel in the win. :)
