Sorry I haven't been blogging in a while...
I haven't been "feeling" like sticking to my healthy eating plan.
Now, I DO understand this is a lifestyle, not a diet. And some days are harder than others. Well, the last few weeks have been those kinds of days.
I decided yesterday, Monday, was a good day to re-start.
I woke up, ready and with a positive attitude.
Then the stress hit me like a brick wall.
I fought all day with myself... stress eat or stay on track. Well, I stayed on track, but didn't exercise at all. I did drink 6 glasses of water though - even though I was aiming for 8. But, I call it a win. I won over the stress.
Today is a new day, and the fight starts over every morning. You have to CHOOSE to be positive. You have to push aside the negative that tries to take over. Yesterday that was harder said than done, but I at least won the stress eating battle.
And one good day makes you want another, then another, then another. I can do this.
I never gained back the 30lbs that I lost - that's a win.
But I want more.
I have learned that I can eat what I like, I can splurge or just go out and enjoy myself. But I can't do it for EVERY meal or EVERY day. I have been eating what I like, and I got lazy in the kitchen (because I hate to cook) and we've been eating a lot of the things we gave up last year. I'm sure that's why I'm at a standstill with my weight loss. But not gaining any of those 30lbs back encourages me.
New day, new goals... let's do this!
