Being a role model is the most powerful form of educating. Youngsters need good models more than they need critics. It's one of a parent's greatest responsibilities and opportunities.
- John Wooden
Today was another day in the orientation/seminar at work. It's an all week thing, well until Thursday afternoon anyway. They have bought us breakfast & lunch all week. Today I had an apple & orange juice for breakfast & coffee & water too.
Then for lunch I had a grilled chicken Cesar salad. And for dinner I had steak & a baked potato. It was so good! I also did have chocolate ice cream. I have been craving it, so I had some. It's funny because on the way home from work, I stopped and picked up a baked potato and got fries for Lexi, and well I stuck my hand in the bag out of habit, and went to eat a french fry and when I realized what I was doing before it got to my mouth, I tossed it back in the bag, because I really didn't want it! Then a little while ago, I was really craving Cheetos crunchy cheese doodles and I went to the cabinet because I had bought them for Lexi & I found myself reading the label, and it didn't say grain, but it did say Corn meal, and figured well I am pretty sure that is a grain! So, I didn't eat any! I honestly have not had any sweets other than some frozen yogurt or some ice cream, and then I have had a piece or two of the little Hershey kisses during our orientation. But if I want it, I will have 1 or 2. I am really proud of myself for really sticking to this, but I saw today how habit almost made me blow today!
I know if I want to eat something, I can, I owe no one an explanation but I honestly have a goal, and so want to make the goal! Next year at this time, I would love to be down 100 lbs, and be getting ready for my first half marathon! That's a big goal, and I believe since I have 13 months til the one I am going to register for, I will be very prepared.
Not too much else is going on. I am feeling really good, and still sleeping pretty good! I have had a few nights here & there that I wasn't sleeping well but that was only because I had some personal issues going on, and couldn't get my brain to shut down, and if I did, when I got up in the middle of the night, I'd start thinking about it right away.
I hope you are continuing on your journey and doing really well. Please feel free to email me or inbox me on face book if you don't want to comment on here. I love your feedback! Keep up the good work and remember, you didn't gain it all in a day, or even a week, so you can't expect to lose it that quickly!
Godspeed!
Jenn
