| A New Start: Day 12 |
We walked again today! It was so enjoyable in the bright sunshine that it (almost!) took my mind off how much my back hurt. I feel like I am really dedicated to this journey this time, and it makes me feel better about myself. It is very empowering to be taking such a positive step for me, myself, and I. This journey isn't for my husband, my family, or anyone else. It is for me. As the hair dye commercials say, I am worth it! I have known this for a while, of course, but now I am beginning to feel it and believe it. Just knowing I exercised earlier today makes me smile now, and it isn't just the endorphins! So I owed 110 minutes, and walked for 40 today, so now I owe 70 minutes to do over Friday and Saturday. So do-able!
I am also starting to make some better choices when it comes to my diet. I have been eating broth-based soups for my lunches; they are filling and you get a lot of vegetables. I'm also working on portion control such as eating one sandwich instead of two, not getting "seconds," cutting back on starches, and eating more vegetables. For so long I have not been controlling myself at all so this part is difficult for me, but I am making good strides toward better self-control. Baby steps, mind you, but good steps.
We bought a scale today also. It is capable of tracking weights for up to four people and monitoring progress toward a goal weight. When I figure out how to work it, I think it will be helpful.
Thanks for the support! Later...
