I'm frustrated with myself because I'm letting other people impact my behavior. That is NOT going to get me where I want to be. :(

A friend decided it was too pretty today to stay inside, so instead of the lentil soup and grilled chicken I'd packed, we went to Souper Salad instead. Granted I made much better choices than normal: loaded up on the veggies and poured lo cal ranch on the side, limited myself to 2 small breadsticks, melon and oranges with a small bowl of pudding for dessert, and only water to drink. NO refills (except for water) and NO repeat trips back to the salad bar.

I have to stop this though. I have to stop letting other people keep me from doing what I know I need to be doing.

Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (NLT)

LORD, give me the strength to make good healthy choices as I strive to make my body the temple You so richly deserve.

No walking at lunch today but I took a short lunch b/c I was late this morning. I did stand up for almost 2 hours during Worship practice this evening, and then hit the grocery store after.

Rough day at the office today. Retirement celebration this morning and they had the yummiest breakfast cupcakes EVER. I behaved and split an apple spice cupcake with a friend. I don't have a clue how many calories those things might have though... I did log it as a 190cal apple spice muffin only since I couldn't find anything else that resembled it.

I did skip the fudge brownies that showed up at the coffee bar after lunch, and I only ate 1 of the cookies I'd brought with me after finding out they have 130 cals each. Yikes! They're good, but not that good. LOL I think I'll leave the cookies for the kids to enjoy. Next payday I'm stocking up on WW friendly snacks and 100-cal snack packs.

Drank 5.5 bottles of water today. I'm just not sure I'm going to make it through the rest of this bottle before bed but I'll try. The water challenge starts tomorrow so I think I'll make it through.

Definitely can't give up my coffee just yet, but I am going to try to cut back. I think I've only got the skinny caramel creamer in the fridge, which is only 30 cals per tbsp instead of 40 cals for the regular kind. I think it's the sugar that racks up the points so I need to work on cutting back on sugar or replacing it with something a little healthier.

Gotta get to bed soon or there's no way I'm going to be able to get up early enough to hit the Wii.

I decided early in March that this was it, I was ready to finally make the mental commitment needed to change my habits and loose this weight. I joined a Biggest Loser contest at work with some friends and have been logging my steps daily. Once or twice I've even gone out and walked extra.

I keep saying I'm going to do this or that, but I never do and I'm tired of it. I started using the Calorie Counter app on my G1 yesterday and only today figured out there was an entire website behind it. I'm so glad I did!

I really want to be successful. I want to look better and feel better about myself. I want to be able to run around the park or the beach playing with the dog and flying kites with the kids. I want to be able to fast in prayer and worship and not end up sick because my sugar levels crashed. I CAN do this.

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13 (NLT)
