I ate badly today...


From 2/19/15:

Today I ate badly.  Not just bad but really bad.  I joined a 21 day clean eating challenge and it is day 11 and I have failed.  Not just today but this week.  I did so good last week and didn’t see any results.  I know the changes take time but I mean I gave up Diet Coke… cold turkey… and still nothing!  I am writing this so I remember how I feel at this moment.  Sad and depressed that I gave up… 11 days in.  So on this second day of Lent, I have decided to start blogging how I feel.  So I remember that my goals are attainable and just because I am having a hard time right now doesn’t mean I should give up.  I want to lose weight so badly.  I want it to be simple.  I know that it isn’t simple and that it always goes on a lot easier than it will come off.  So I am vowing right now to call this a lifestyle change which is what it is.  Eating better and trying making an effort to get in the exercise.

I feel like I am on the right track and choosing better things for myself and my family.  I gave up any form of soda (which was bad for me anyway) and for Lent I have decided to give up all sweets (mainly candy… and if you know me, you know that I LOVE candy).  So I got to work today and put all my candy that was in my candy jar on the break room counter.  It will be hard, but 40 days is not really that long and who knows, maybe by the end of it I won’t want any anyways!   

So to start out this journey I am re-committing myself to do better.  Try harder. Don’t let the little slip-ups get to me.  Meal prepping and committing not to eating out are the top priorities.  Wish me luck!
