Move Forward

(205.4)
I wish I had a lower number to write, but I don't.
Maintaining my focus on eating well is really really hard.
I guess if it were easy everyone would be doing it :) there wouldn't be any overweight people in the world.

I did make one small change this morning and it wasn't so bad.
I only had ONE sweetener in my coffee. Yay me!!!
And you know what, after about the 3rd sip, I didn't even notice.
I think this is an important step for me, helping me lessen the effect of my sweet tooth.
I am a total sugar addict, this is my biggest weight loss hurdle.
One step at a time, it will happen but not overnight. I have to work at this everyday, making small changes, they add up!

I have a great day full of moving planned.
At lunch, I am going skating, isn't his cool!?!?!? A group of people from work go skating on Thursdays at lunch.  Pretty amazing!!!
And as usual, on Thursday nights, I have the gym... 60 minutes with my Personal Trainer, we are doing a strength phase (heavy weights) and then I stick around and do 35 minutes on one of the cardio machines.
I am guaranteed to hit my get moving target today!!! Fitbit be ready for green across the board!


Even if I am not losing weight at a pace that I want, this move more plan is really helping keep me mentally fit... as the days get dark and dreary, it is easy to fall into a dark mood... I feel quite happy and cheerful right now. Yay!!!
I just have to get working on my weight loss, I can do it!!! I just have to avoid temptation, by removing these 'unhealthy' items from my environment. (get rid of the girl guide cookies TONIGHT!)
I know exactly why I am not losing weight, all the treats, sneaking chocolate bars from Bridget's Halloween candy bag, sneaking girl guide cookie, sneaking ice cream bars (even if they are skinny cow) having 5 of them in a row is not good.

Today I will eat healthy, at work I am covered, but I will eat healthy between picking Bridget up from after school care and going to the gym, and then when I get home from the gym. I will have a peach for a snack prior to the gym. and when I return from the gym at 8:45 I think I will have a protein smoothie for dinner!

I am thinking of signing up for a scrapbooking (aka memory keeping) workshop called: Move More, Eat Well Jumpstart - 31 days to a happier, healthier you. http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/mmew-jumpstart.php
it sounds like a really fun project, and will help me clarify and focus on my WHY.
it's not expensive, it is the time, but I guess not much happens in January :)

Have a super day, stay focused on the plan, eat well and forgive yourself for your past mistakes. Move Forward
(I think I found my new mantra)
