On Track

I feel really on track, and I have to admit the compliments I've been getting are a big help. It is always nice to get positive feedback, especially when working so hard towards a goal. Having co-workers who see me every day notice my improvements is awesome.

It also feels great to be doing so well at work, and getting praise from my superiors. They really are supportive and appreciative of all our efforts.

I have some extra time Saturday while Syd is with her dad, and I cannot wait to do some major cleaning and organizing at home.

Life may have some hurdles to get through (like car troubles), but in the big picture life is good.

Becoming a better me

I'm working every day to become a "better me". It may not happen tomorrow, but I feel small changes and that's a good thing. I am still so weak in some ways, but know there has been improvement from years back.

I still have some days where I'd rather stay in bed than be productive, but those are very rare. I feel good after a day where I've eaten healthy, done well at work, and spent quality time with Syd.

I am thinking of taking a class, maybe art or cooking, to keep myself moving in a positive direction. I am reading books I'd have never read before, and am hoping to use what I learn in them.

End of my rant for today.

Back on Track

I'm on Day 2 of being back to tracking points for WW. I'm trying not to use my "flex points", which are points allowed above our daily allowance. I'm hoping to at least stay the same weight this Saturday, but my trip to Brooklyn may have messed that up. I'm trying my best not to lose focus. I'm not even close to my final goal, and am more motivated than ever.

Star Fruit

My WW meeting leader mentioned star fruit, and tomorrow I will be trying it for the first time. I need to jump back into my healthy eating, and not just going through the motions. My goal is to pick 5 items from the produce department I haven't bought lately, and why not try a yummy star fruit?? I'm thinking a fun fruit salad may be on the menu tomorrow night!

Progress

I am watching "Biggest Loser" and uploading pictures from my trip back to Brooklyn. I know I'm making progress, but it's still so hard to believe it got this bad. I think of how much better I'd feel if I had lost these 21lbs without gaining all that weight. I know I should stop beating myself up and enjoy this journey. Tomorrow is a new day. Maybe the day I give myself a break.
