Positive Post

I gazed over my posts on this site to date and realized I haven’t bothered to pat myself on the back yet. Have there been challenges, a difficult “no thank you” here and there…yes. It’s important for me to mention there has also been 1.7 mile walks over lunch everyday, 25 minute workouts on my Elliptical, healthy meals and snacks, lots of water. I actually feel like I am eating more often than I normally would have. I have breakfast, am snack, lunch, pm snack and dinner. I’ve been keeping a spreadsheet this week of everything that I consume except water; including calories, fat grams and Weight Watchers points. (I am not a member of WW, but have some books on point values and just wanted to see how that worked for me.) The only negative thing is that I may be taking in too few calories. I’m not sure the rules on that one. I’ll post some the numbers on Sunday.

Basically, I want to announce that I feel good…confident even.

To help off set some the rants and negativity, I am going to start posting something everyday that drives me, encourages my continuation, tells me there are things more important in my life than bagels, banana cream pie and mashed potatoes.

Today’s Motivation: to be able to cross my legs.
