  1. I am worth the work!

    So, the last couple of days have not been the greatest. Memorial day did not exactly go as I planned it. I did not eat "bad" foods neccessarily, but I was grazing the entire day. I nibbled on this and that with very little structure.
     
    With all that, I thank God for my band, because without it, I know that I would have eaten 4x as much as I actually did. You see, I know that food in itself is not an enemy, but the way I view it, it is my greates enemy right now. It threatens my happiness day in and out. It distorts my appearence and my energy level. Hopefully down the line in this journey, I can see food for what it really is( source of energy) not anything more or less.
     
    Anyway, the rest of the week will be a great one. I plan on following the doctor's orders to a tee. I have visualized a healthier , happier me so I won't stop until I get there.
    How was your week? Pls let me know how you handled events like mem day, or office party.
     
    I'll be back tommorrow to let you all know how it went. No matter what, I am worth the work and effort it takes.
  2. Bbq plans

    So on this journey, many hurdles present themselves. Memorial Day bbq's are like the Devil to banded people. All those 'good' foods staring you down, calling your name. So here's my plan for today.
    1) eat a healthy Breakfast(Hard boiled egg)
    2) Great Lunch( 1 Cup salad and chicken strips)
    3) Water, Water, Water, Water
    4)turkey burger, no buns of course
    Volleyball @ 45mins
     
    Bottom Line:
    My goals are bigger to me than any potato salad.
     
    Have a plan and stick to it, you will feel great for it.
     
    What's your plan??
  3. Great Day

    So today is going to be a fab one. I am so ready to make great decisions today. I will get 8 glasses of h20 in, at protien first, stop when I am hungry and work out.
     
    What about you? We set long term goals for ourselves, but a new challnge should be daily goals. So those are mine.
