I counted my points, I made sure I drank my 6 - 8 cups of water a day, I ate fruits and vegetables, and I even exercised. And what do you know, I lost 5 pounds. When I found out, I was elated, and proud of myself. Fast forward a few hours, and I got scared and somewhat sad, just thinking, ok, I'm off to a good start, and I going to do what I always do, and go back to eating like I don't have good sense? Am I going to stop working out because I don't feel like going to the gym? Well, only one person holds the answers to those questions, and that's me!! I can choose to continue getting healthy, or I can choose to be unhealthy.
What kind of surprised me, is that I wouldn't even say that last week was hard, or tough even. I simply made healthier decisions. I never felt like I was forcing myself to eat healthy. I never felt like the food I was eating wasn't good, I simply put thought into what I was eating. I could have eaten a double cheeseburger from McDonald's, for 12 points. Or I could eat Chuck Roast, Potatoes, Carrots, Celery, and Onion for 12 points, made at home. It's not easy, but it's not impossible either. It just takes an extra minute, to think about eating something healthy, and making that decision. And even more than that, it's worth it to make the healthier decision.
This week will be a little tougher, I'm going out of town, there will be plenty to indulge in, right in my face. But, I can make it through this week, and not go over my points, I'm sure of it!
