Quick Check In

Despite being midnight, just getting home from work and dreading a 6am airport pickup, I am feeling super motivated about this journey and the wonderful blogging community. Reading people's stories/experiences is so great for me and i love that I feel the same way as so many of you do.

Today was a decent day eating wise except the visit from my monthly friend has definitely thrown my sugar cravings into high gear. Day started well with my usual small latte around 8 and then a cheese stick around 10:30. For lunch I had half of a sandwich (turkey, one slice muenster and avocado on toasted wheat) and only ate half of the bread. Had a 100 calorie cheetos pack with that. I brought in a 50 calorie york to conquer my sugar craving but failed. I ended up getting a cooke for ~250 calories but I am glad that I was able to hold myself back from getting more than one. for dinner I had some tortilla soup and a few bites of grilled chicken and some chips and salsa...the food for dinner was not super healthy/nutritious but my portions were very small and I think ok. I just need to remind myself that I need protein and balance to really get this journey going.

But, I have decided to not "try" to make my 1 year goal (at least 31 pounds, ideally 35 pounds) but to actually do it. I have been wish washing and I need to go full throttle and make this happen..I can do it, I want to do it and I will do it. I will try to give it my all.

Off to Richmond tomorrow for a morning meeting and back in the afternoon...how nice is it that I am not dreading/fretting about fitting in the seat or the seat belt buckling, despite being a regional plane. Last time I saw this client down in Richmond was almost a year ago and I remember being relieved that the stewardess didn't check on my seat belt because I couldn't get it to fit...such a great feeling to not worry...that change/relief alone has made this process worth it and it is only such a small, small part. Thank you band!
