Lots Going On.

I know that there are people out there who say you should not weigh yourself every day.  But for me it is working.  I like that I can stay on top of thie weight loss/life changing thing going on.  It is a daily reminder for me to eat good, to exercise.  I know that this will be a life long process.  I don't want to see my self where I was 6 weeks ago.  Keeping my weight at a healthy level will always be something that I will need to be aware of.  If stepping on the scale every morning helps me, than I say go for it!  If it doesn't work for you, that is ok, find something else to keep you on track.

Right now I enjoy stepping on the scale and seeing the numbers go lower on a regular basis.

Today was one of those days that I had lots going on.  I got to the gym first thing in the morning, only to find it still closed.  The employee who was to be there to unlock the building must have slept in.  That really cut in to my gym time this morning.   I really only had that first hour to be at the gym, but by the time the door got unlocked and we all got in I only got 30 minutes on the elipitical before I had to head out. 

Camp meetings with Rachael, shopping and errands to get done, lunch to get made, and off to this week Winter Guard competition at West High School.  I planned ahead and made me a good salad to take for dinner.

I learned something tonight at the competition.  I know that there will always be a time that I want to eat a treat.  I looked at a fun bakery for a treat, and they didn't really have anything that I wanted, I looked at a fun little deli for something, nothing jumped out at me there either.  At the competition they had funnel cakes, I decided to have a funnel cake, man was I disappointed.  When I want a treat I really need to make sure it is something that will hit the spot, something small and tasty.  The funnel cake was just okay, nothing to be excited about.  I should have known better, for one it wasn't chocolate, deep down in side I know that my treats should always consist of chocolate.  I will choose better next time.

Today on facebook, a friend who has been dieting, hit her weight loss goal.  She is looking so good.  I am going to look at her often and remind myself that I can do it as well.  By the end of the year I too will be saying I have hit my weight loss goal.

I CAN SUCCEED!
