I'm a lil' late at getting my thread out today. For the last couple days, I've had to look at my thread from the day before to see what day I'm on. I decided I don't really want to count. Call it a phase I've entered, but I don't feel like focusing daily on a number. Of course, I still find during the first 30 days that each week is a good marker to celebrate and of course, I will celebrate WHEN, not IF, I reach my initial goal of 30 days. I have a deal with my BFF (Hi Honey!) that I get a gift card when I reach that 30 day mark. I plan on using it to buy myself something permanent that I can look at and be reminded of what it represents.
I'm feeling GREAT today. It's my 3rd day of getting back to the gym. The online food journal has turned out to be a lil' more time consuming than I intially thought (having to enter my food nutrient facts manually), so that's gone a lil' on the way side. But because I'm working out, I'm not beating myself up about the food thing.
Just because I'm feeling great, doesn't mean I'm on the "AA Pink Cloud". Trust me, I randomly feel like giving in. Yesterday I was triggered simply by tasting some pasta that I made for dinner. I'm used to having red wine with my pasta. Then, while trying to talk to my best friend on the phone, my kids wouldn't stop yelling and crawling all over me. Another possible trigger. So feeling great doesn't mean it's not still a struggle. But I do feel more confident. I felt FANTASTIC on the treadmill today. And as Bono would say, "IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!"
