I was nervous because last night I went to an auction and had 1/2 of my dessert and tasted a couple of others. I would have been way worse in the past though, consuming mine and probably another one if I could get my hands on one. Afterwards it was late and I was hungry for "real" food so we went through Arby's drive through and I was a little distressed because most of those sandwiches are quite a few points. I opted for a grilled chicken salad with lite dressing. Guess what? I was satisfied.
So the total for the weight loss is.....14.8 pounds!
I was amazed and so happy with that number. I am excited to see what happens next week!
The meeting was about negative thoughts and how we set ourselves up for things....hmmmm.....who does this sound like? MEEEEE! If I get up in the morning and look myself in the mirror and say, man look how ugly I look today, look at all these bumps/lumps, my clothes are ugly....this is negative and how much easier it will be to say "Now, what can I eat to make myself feel better?" Instead of finding things that are good about me and concentrating on the good and feeling good about the things I do good.
So I thought it would be fun to start making a gratitude journal (Kristi had talked about this before)....so I am borrowing her idea. This may help my overall attitude in life too because some days it is so hard not to feed myself negative thoughts!
Things I am grateful for:
***My husband and my son***
***My friends***
***The sunshine outside today and how the crisp sunny days feel so good***
***14.8 lbs gone from my body***
***Finding confidence to go exercise in front of strangers***
***Spring time***
I know these are pretty general things but I will try to get better at it....
Have a great weekend!
