Progress...it's a beautiful thing! So here is an update...i dont want to jinx it, so I am not going to get too excited, but here ya go!
Recently I made the hard commitment to myself to not have fast food from August 1st through midnight on the 31st. I knew I would probably stumble a little at first and low and behold...I totally did! My mom came down for the weekend with my two younger sisters and we went to Legoland, of course...nothing but junk food. So that didn't go very well. After the weekend, though, I started counting points again.
Monday: I did well throughout the day and planned on having a zero point day, then had to leave work early to pick up a friend from the airport. Got hungry and gave in to temptation and went to Wienerschnitzel to get chili cheese dogs and fries. It was soooo yummy, but...I was sooooo incredibly close to staying within my points for the week. I went over my points (yes including the weekly ones) by a whopping...half a point! haha. SO close!
Tuesday: *Cue the Angels Singing* Ahhhhhhh! I had a great day! I got almost all of my good health guidlines in and made up (sort of) for Monday. :) I had half a point left for the day and went to the barn and worked Dutchess for a little over an hour. She is doing great.
Today: had to leave work again early and deviate from my plan for a bit, but I HAD ANOTHER ZERO POINT DAY!!!! WOOHOO!!! It feels so great to be doing well finally. I am just taking it a day at a time and trying not to get too excited. I know that it is good to be motivated and stay positive, but tomorrow we are going to the Race Track with work and then this weekend I am taking a friend to Bakersfield to see family and friends. So we will see how things go this weekend. I am just happy that I feel so great while I am watching points. I don't feel like I am starving like I have the past couple of times I have tried to get back on track. so this week may not be perfet, but it is a start. My chart looks horrible, but i am hoping it will start to show that nice doward slope from now on. Starting next week anyway!
So I have written a novel already, but just thought i would write to let my buddies know i am still here and trying. I hope everyone has been hanging in there and doing well. :)
