Good Evening!
I hope you all had a great holiday weekend with
friends and family and found time to enjoy “fireworks” or offer your time to
help those in need, and to hug a “warrior” that fought for our freedom to make
choices. I had the opportunity to spend time with family prior to July 4th
and then with friends on July 4th and was able to enjoy the prepared
food for the day.
I bet you are asking yourself what did she eat and
did she fall off the wagon, which would place her back on the weight loss
train! Well to be totally honest; I only missed a by a few bites of food. The
ribs were wonderful and the chicken was to “die for” that is so true! I kept my
carbs down for the whole day so I could enjoy the feast for the 4th
of July! It can be hard to stay on track
but with taking the time to see what options we have then that helps to make
the decisions for the day and the ultimate end of what to eat vs. what not to
eat. SO I played it very smart on this day and saved all my carbs for the
party! It is still hard to everyday to say “no” to this food or that food. I have
some friends who are doing the “Weight Watchers” program and they count points
and for the meals they eat daily. I tried that program but with all the carbs
loaded in the food I was not able to
lose any weight. I wish them much
success in the food choices they make to meet the goals of the points they are
allowed to eat during the day and week! It is about finding the program that
works best for you and your lifestyle!
I know you are saying “yeah oh yeah” and what are
you doing to keep yourself on track with the goal(s) you might have set for yourself; well I am
working on staying on the right path to hopefully lose that 8 pounds or more in
the next three weeks when I present to the doctors’ office for weigh in! But
alas as time is moving forward so am I, and I was able to complete a 2.5 mile
walk this past weekend and I completed the walk in 45 minutes. Boy oh boy that
was a killer for me. Last week I did 7 days in row for walking and that was challenging,
and there was many times I wanted to “say no” I am not going. But I got in the car
drove to the park and completed the walk!
Dedication is the key to meeting and overcoming the daily struggles we
all face! I know you can do it and I
have that one day you will post the goal you have set and will share with me
the changes you are making. Any change is a positive!
God Speed!
