a new day, a new lady

Like the title says, staying on track DOES just feel good! Granted, it’s only been 2.5 days since my slip up, it’s been a strong productive 2.5 days! I’ve definitely been sticking to the plan and that just makes me feel good. Especially when I am out to eat with friends who order all sorts of goodies but I have the strength to say no. Or returning home to my empty condo (new roomie moving in Saturday!) and needing comfort but not seeking it in the kitchen. Or finally being at work where your co-workers offer you deliciously unhealthy trail mix, candy, and other goods but again, you say “no thank you.” Then finally sitting down to eat and making the right, healthy choices. It just FEELS good! Like my one fellow blogger wrote (and if you ever read my blog and notice this is your quote, PLEASE say something so I can give you proper credit!) “It might feel great to eat that ______ (insert tempting food here) but not as good as skinny feels!” With that being said, here’s a quick food journal for yesterday and what I’ve eaten so far today AND good luck to all my fellow friends seeking to lose some weight.
