We are so close!!! I just wanted to share a little victory over here, I’m learning some new healthy lifestyle habits that I hope will serve me for a long time. I know it’s almost weigh in time and going to be close for me, so I’m trying to be extra mindful. However yesterday I took my teen daughters out for a special day of shopping and nails and brunch for back to school. I was seriously craving a pancake although I knew it wasn’t the ‘best’ choice for me weight wise. I went back and forth debating and finally went for it. But was super reasonable—just a single and paired it with Turkey sausage. I ate mindfully and felt satisfied after. Had a similar situation at dinner—we have been making a pasta dish that uses some tasty fresh summer ingredients but I knew pasta wasn’t my ‘best’ choice. Went for it anyway but dished up a very balanced portion, and was happy. My personal takeaway is that I can have the tasty foods just in moderation so that I don’t go overboard later, from deprivation

I’m no closer to my goal I’m so sad. This morning has been crappy. I was working out and my dog knocked over the mirror in the gym. I had to stop to clean it up before they stepped on glass. Before that I had to stop my workout because my other dog got something in his eye. So I had to try to clean him up. So now I have to get dressed for work. And I gain .2 not that it’s bad but I’m 5lbs from my goal. I’m feeling defeated.
