Feeling like I need a swift kick in the butt to get through this week & the few there after. I've lost the new-diet gittiness and I've vowed to only weight on Saturdays. So, I need to dig deep to find my push again. My old ways of letting the scale fuel me through the week need to be changed.
I'm facing a few weeks of hurdles:
- 12th & 13th-----2 birthdays: daughter and husband
- 15th---Birthday dinner at my favorite restuant
- 16th---Hockey game (GO KINGS!) as a family before my daughter & grandaughter move to Australia. What's hockey without a beer or 3?
- 22nd to 24th---Anniversary getaway (31st anniversary)
- 27th---Special pirate dinner and show with the granddaughter
Then the emotional roller coaster of my daughter's final days living with us after 8 years of having my favorite girls with me. She flies out 2/10.
And did I mention I'm eating a VEGAN diet.
Ok self, this is your choice. I don't want regrets. I want to live my life.
I think I will reward myself with a nice juice cleanse when I get through this. In the mean time I will write out my meal plans and stick to them.* When I'm at goal weight and maintaining, I will make vegan desserts and share in the eating of them! Right now I want to get healthy.
Hey, typing this has helped. I feel more resolve!
*I have an addict's personality when it comes to food, so just a bite will trigger my downfall. I'm over 50 and have lots of life expperience; I know me.
