I thought I would feel discouraged because I did have another pretty bad week, starting last Saturday at the teen retreat. I didn't pay much attention to what I ate. I don't think I did too bad, but it was all downhill from there: Chinese buffet, huge deli sandwich, McDonalds, cake last night, etc. I'm not discouraged, though. All our talking and writing is keeping me positive, believing I can do this over time.
Today I'm going to start journaling again. I'm going to think about what I put in my mouth. I'm going to add 2-3 oz. of protein to my food pyramid and try to keep the hungries at bay. I'm going to focus on portions. I also need to give some thought to a short-term goal. I don't have any clothing issues like your jeans. I think I'll start with under 220 (on my scale) as my short-term goal. (Eeck! I said out loud how much I weigh! Shocking to me to see that number. Oh, well.)
Starting Monday, I am going to start walking just a little each day...or going for a short bike ride. I'm also going to start tackling my *!@?$ boxes my basement is filled with that I've been meaning to get to for 11 months. I hope to focus on those two things in March. Well, those things and my eating... ;-)
Onward and upward!
