It started out with me taking the bus to the Post Office, to send my sis some birthday goodies, then I decided to walk back home. I stopped by Duane Reade for some toiletries and the supermarket for a few more items. I started getting tired mid-walk because the street is not leveled, it is more of a climb than a walk, but I just slowed down and kept moving. I am so "grateful" to God. There is no way that I could've done this two weeks ago.
Yesterday made seven days of tracking my calories...Woo-Hoo! It's the first complete week I've had in a long time. A few things helped me this week, I found a way around my sweet cravings after lunch. Usually, I have a veggie pattie sandwich, but I always have to battle the craving for something sweet right after, that's when I either struggle or end up bingeing. What I'm doing now is having my vitamins in chew-form, one Viactiv Multi-Vitamin chocolate soft chew, and 2 Viactiv chocolate mint chews. I have them with coffee, and it does the trick for me. Not bad for 60 calories.
The other thing is, creating the 100 days of tracking, goal. I've thought twice lately before going crazy at night. I know that one week is not exactly a milestone, but it's a start.
So far I am loving the book, Mary Higgins Clark's, "Just Take My Heart" This one is more "my kind" of thriller:) Can't wait to go back to it tonight.
Well, I guess that's about it for today. Looking forward to another good one tomorrow.
I will update my calories later.
