Today I did something to help with motivation. I took a stack of 3 X 5 cards and on the top I wrote "Motivation Card" and on each card I wrote a phrase or a reason to keep me motivated. The first one that I wrote was, "Failed Mac Fire physical agility - TWICE!" I only have 2 or 3 right now, but I intend to carry some with me, blank and filled out, to help me with my motivation.
So, how did today go? It went alright. I chose wisely, avoided some temptation, was tempted by some Milano Strawberry cookies and some Red Velvet cake, but, you know what, I ate them in moderation, and had the points left over to account for all of it without getting into my weekly points. I drank all my water, and even though I didn't exercise, cleaning house and breaking a sweat was good for me. Julie and I also went to the pool for another swim lesson, so that is more activity (even though I don't count those as points.)
My parents come into town tomorrow, on their 43rd anniversary. They want to go to Outback, so I am going to be smart. I am going to drink all my water before I go, snack on some veggies in the car on the way and order a salad, steak and veggies. I'm preplanning my attack, so I won't be overly tempted (even though a bloomin onion is FABULOUS!)
Well, it's time for me to turn in. Night all.
