Getting up
late is not my style. I really need
sleep mainly because I went to bed way too late which is because I was out last
night with my daughter and her future mother in law. We wind up going out for dinner which is very
bad for me. I tried to pick healthy
items but the portions control I have NO control of myself. Also being lent which really has no bearings,
well maybe some, I choose to have fish.
So I had the seafood combo, which is flounder, shrimp, mussels all steam
or broiled, so no breading and with it I had mixed vegetables, steamed and rice
pilaf. All of this stuff is good but my
downfall was the salad bar. I don’t know
why I pile it all on, is it that I want to get my money’s worth, or is it that
the salads are good and I don’t make them anymore. I really don’t know. What I do know is that I do not have good
control of myself at these places.
Hopefully in time I will learn and adjust or even compromise in this
area. One thing though I am sort of
proud that I am taking time out with myself to even investigate or put this in
my mind or what I am really saying is that I am more aware of what I am doing
or at least more aware of what I should be doing. Right now I know that this is one of my
weakness areas. So if anything I know I
went over on my calorie intake for yesterday.
I am going to try to really watch it for today and the rest of the
week. I want to have some type of loss
next Thursday. Tomorrow I really must be
diligent because of the bridal expo that we are going to. Hopefully there may not be so much available
like last week. Last week’s expo we had
to pay 50.00 a piece while for tomorrow it is free, just as long you
registered.
On one piece
of happiness is that the kids have officially booked the church and the hall
for the wedding. So one piece is done
and off everyone mind. Now it is really
real, my baby is getting married.
Possibly with this in my mind this will keep me straight and focus because
I really want to look my best as the “mother of the bride”. May seem superficial but if that is going to
help me so be it. I know deep down I
want to be healthy but at this point I will take any motivation I can.
Sometimes I
think why I haven’t done something before, why have I waited this long……………..hmmm……………..something
I should just let go.
Until later……………
Yep, you have to let go of "why didn't I do this before" or "why didn't I keep the weight off last time I lost weight". I know for myself this time was different because I was ready, my head was in the game and yours is too.
ReplyDeleteAs for eating out I struggle with it too. Sometimes it's good but others not so good. I try to avoid what I have problems with and that usually helps. You'll figure it all out as you go along. What I've found most important is when I do go off the path that I get right back on with the next meal I put in my mouth.
Oh, meant to comment on the "25 lb" increments, I think that's a great goal, we have to set goals for ourselves as we go along. I know for me I had big goals and little ones.
Thanks for the support.....sometimes I am getting to the point of thinking that if we are going out I am feeling a bit antsy.....maybe if I can just change that feeling to just do better choices I may have conquer my fear????? Make sense??? But for right now I am trying to avoid as much as I can........
