My week started out strong but my will power has
wavered a bit through this week. I got
off work early on Friday night/Saturday morning and went to the grocery store
for some much needed healthy foods. I
prepared healthy food for work on both Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday I was at work feeling fat and
frumpy in my overly snug work pants. I
was pretty down on myself so I got out my WW journal and started writing down
some of those feelings. I wrote: “I’m
sick and tired of being fat. CHANGE
SOMETHING.”
After writing that down it pushed me to be more
accountable to myself. If I don’t change
something, I’ll never need the desired results I seek. I asked my partner to listen to my channels
so I could get my tennis shoes from the car and walk on the treadmill. I got in a 30-minute walk and logged some
activity, which according to my Apple Watch, it has been since June 3rd. Later in the evening the topic of conversation
was dinner options and if anybody was going to eat out. I had brought some chicken and a side salad
from home but for some reason I was feeling that itch to eat out. I remembered my mantra of “change something”
so I immediately got my food from the work fridge so I wasn’t tempted to eat
out. After all, if I had time to think
if I really needed to eat out, the answer was NO.
I have not zoned in on my new mantra as much as I
could have this week. I made a plan for
additional activity but as the week went on, that didn’t happen. I also let being tired get the best of my
yesterday and gave in to some food temptations.
I’m still feeling a bit tired today and I am on the last day of my
six-day work stretch. I packed my tennis
shoes for work and snagged the side of the room with the console
treadmill. The only other coworker that
uses the treadmill just happens to be set up on it today. Doh! I’ll
see if later we could share the wealth.
I’ve also packed a salad for my lunch today and have yogurt and
strawberries for my snack later in the shift/early morning.
I’m looking forward
to a day off tomorrow. I need
sleep! I do plan to attend my WW meeting
tomorrow night. Having to face the scale
is never easy. But for me it is important. We don’t have a scale at my parent’s house
and I need that extra accountability
