A few days ago my best friend and I decided to do the imposs....ok...the very possible. We decided to support one another while we lose weight and get healthy. Alone, this often feels like such an impossible goal, but one day at a time we will set goals, make simple changes, and reflect on what has brought us to this point.
So, let's start with today. My goals for today were to walk for 20 minutes and eat a healthy lunch...well...1 out of 2 isn't so bad?? Ok, ok..no excuses...
I had good intentions, I walked for 20 minutes around the campus where I work. Not ideal cardio, but more than I have done in the past. Today was frought w/ nothing but meeting after meeting...I skipped breakfast and lunch today. Ended up eating 2 cookies during my afternoon meeting and then bought a Snickers bar. I caved...I don't suppose having a diet coke with it really counts for anything??
So, w/ today's goals shot, I have realigned them for will get back on track...no, not tomorrow...but today. There will be no more "tomorrow." Today, I will continue to increase the amount of water I drink. For dinner, I will have a Lean Cuisine and if that is not enough, then I will have fruit or veggies as a filler/snack. Eating healthy foods in the appropriate portion size has been my biggest problem.
It's hard to overwrite 34 years of bad habits, but I'm keeping my eye on the ultimate goal which is to be more active and healthy...hopefully this will pass on to my husband...but I've decided that I cannot be his consience/mother/voice of reason. I will support him if he chooses to try and lose weight and get healthy with me...but I've learned that I can only make choices for myself. He must want it for himself if it will ever make a difference.
Anyway....that is it for today...see ya next time.
