I made great choices today. I knew I was going to have to work late today, so getting in my 10,000 steps was going to be a struggle, but not for this girl. I planned ahead and did my 10 minute easy walk this morning before heading to work. This little work out gives me about 1600 steps. So I started my day ahead of the game. At this point I am not making a promise to myself to do that every morning, but it sure helped today. My food choices have been almost perfect all week long.
I did have one disappointing day this week when I gain a pound. Not sure how I am doing right now, won't know until Sunday morning, but I feel stronger. The walking is getting easier to get through and my hips and legs don't hurt as much later. Win Win.
No matter what the scale says Sunday I feel good about what I am doing. Even if the scale doesn't show the number I want I know it will someday. I will continue to have a positive outlook most days. I will get stronger and better every day I try.
I haven't really been having any food cravings either. One of the girls at work brought in a whitman sampler today and I really wasn't tempted until the end of the day. Again I made a wonderful choice. There were two small chocolate covered almonds and I choose thoses as a small treat. It was just enough sweetness that I didn't drool over the rest of the box.
Who would of thought that a simple idea as this diet bet, could make huge changes in my life. I am thankful to the concept and that I had the courage to join.
May you all have a great weekend, I know I will be working on doing more this Saturday than I would have a year ago, a month ago or even last week.
One step, one meal, one day at a time.
