So begins my very first week of "truth-in-weight-management" blogging. One of my friends read it and said he thought maybe my blog was a little bit of a downer. I thought about this for a few minutes but came to this conclusion. Yes, you should think positive. But, as humans, no one can be Sally Sunshine all the damn time. Not without chemical help. We have our bleak days and our down times and those should be given equal voice. But though I give my frustration and struggles equal weight in my life, because that's honest, I also am able to do this because I know the one really important thing: It does not last. The frustration, the anger, the hopelessness. All of that passes as soon as you make up your mind to take it and do something with it. Doesn't matter what you do, just do it. And this too, shall pass. If it doesn't, we call that "depression" and then you should seek help.
This past week has not been a week of wise-eating. Friday was pizza-day for the kids I cook for, and that is a very stressful day. 3 20 oz cokes will get me through it. Barely. Also, I woke up late and found myself in the drive-thru for breakfast...again. (stupid crack croissandwiches, but that's another blog post) So, when I went to my meeting and discovered a half pound weight loss, I was surprised. It inspired me to really try doing better this week.
So this is my One Thing for the the coming week: Track my Points. If I bite it, I write it.
And no, I don't know how many points for elephant...
