TIP OF THE DAY: Self-talk really does work, whether it is positive or negative. Lift your spirits and prolong your motivation every single day by telling yourself that you can and will succeed.
You may even find that it is helpful to say self-affirming phrases out loud. People around you may think you've gone crazy, but when you find it is quite effective, you won't mind.
Look in the mirror today, and say, "Nothing is going to stop me from meeting my weight loss goal."
Today was a good day. I got some more walking in at work and took the stairs when ever I could. I walked 6,965 steps. Not bad if I don't say so myself :)
When I am at work during the day I am all for going home and getting on the treadmill, but then when I get home, I am SO pooped that all I want to do is have dinner and relax since most of my steps are done at work.
Oh I did take the dog for a walk around the block today, that should count for something right?
OK on to what I ate;
BREAKFAST:
1 English Muffin-2 points
1Tbs. Peanut Butter-2 points
1/2 cup of yogurt-2 points
granola-1 point
LUNCH:
1 Weight Watchers Angel Hair Marinara-4 points
1 corn and peas mixture-1 point
2 cups green tea-0 points
1 Tbs. Honey-0.5 points
1 bagel-fulls-4 points
SNACK:
1 String Cheese-2 points
DINNER:
1 Bowl Appetite: herb chicken with rice and veggies-5 points
1 small bag of Cheetos-4 points (I know this was bad but I have been wanting then for a long time now and when I found this small bag, I had to have them.)
DESSERT:
1 small Ice Cream Cone-3 points
Total points: 30.5 out of 31 points for the day. I Stayed within my points today and basically ate all of them :)
I could have done better with my water intake. I only had 5 glasses of water not counting the 2 glasses of green tea. Should I count that, or no?
Thanks for following and have a great day. One more day to FRIDAY!!!

Becky, what is a Bowl Appetite? Is that some frozen type item?
ReplyDeleteIt takes a little bit of effort to get into the habit of exercising, but once you get into that habit,it becomes easier. So when you get home push yourself to get on the treadmill for even 10 minutes. There is always a reason not to, and we can all come up with excuses for not working out. So, No excuses. Just do it. I prefer to work out first thing in the morning. You need to figure out what works best for you and stick with it. Myra
