Even the most perfect person falls off the wagon every now and then. It takes a strong person to admit he/she made a bad decision, and an even stronger one to not feel guilty about that decision and just move on!!!
The last week I've made several good decisions. First and foremost, to get back on the track to a healthier to me!!! After a week of making better decisions, it paid off! In the last week I lost 4.2 pounds, which puts me past the 25 pounds lost mark in Weight Watchers, 35 all together!
It's funny, when I was working out and eating semi-okay, those last 5 pounds seemed to take FOREVER to come off. In one week I started to make healthy food selections, and got back into the working out, and wouldn't you know it...I lost 4.2 pounds in one week, AND I got past that last 5 pound mark!
On to the 2nd healthy decision that is in its third day...I gave up pop. I love pop. Not for the caffeine, but for the taste. And my pop of choice is Diet Pepsi. For me there's nothing more refreshing than an ice cold Diet Pepsi! But unfortunately that refreshing soda is doing nothing for my diet. If anything it's hurting me.
I've given up pop for Lent a couple of times and it was no big deal. But to give it up as a total lifestyle change is going to be tough. I'm on day 3 and I don't feel too bad. I had considered just cutting back, but the last time I "just cut back" I was back up to drinking 3 or 4 cans of Diet Pepsi a day!
So hopefully my good decisions will stick and pay off in the end. I have so many good examples to follow in my Weight Watchers meeting. I just need to take advantage of that and, even on bad weeks, face that scale head on!!!
