Today is my official "Restart Diet Day"! Yesterday I ate pretty well and today I am continuing to eat right. My biggest problem is that I'm too tempted by high calorie foods. I don't eat a large quantity of food...I just choose to eat junk food instead of the healthy stuff. I can definitely say I've been eating with my emotions. My weight has jumped to 148 and on my petite 5'1" body that's pretty high! My main focus for the first 7 days is my food intake. I'm eating foods that are filling and I'm doing my best to stay busy so I don't think about snacking. One of the greatest motivators is at my job. I work at a collegiate equestrian center and winter break started right before Thanksgiving. What that means for me is that I was able to end my 5 year hiatus from horseback riding. I rode during my lunch break yesterday and today...and I plan to ride everyday at lunch until the students return. Not only does riding make me happy but it also has reminded me that I am out of shape and to get better at riding I have to slim down and tone up. I am determined to work hard and be 10 lbs lighter by Jan 1. Hitting the halfway mark will definitely be a motivator to finish hard and hit my 20 lb weight loss goal...or at least be 2-3 sizes smaller at whatever weight that ends up being.
