So today is Day 3 again. I was sold on managing a few drinks here and there while I was doing social things... My husband drinks on the regular and I think alcoholism is fairly prevalent in both our families so its something we both try to "manage" and sometimes we do awesome and sometimes we feed each others addiction. I finished 21 days last time. But with each drink it was gym less and more bad food... I think we have to have balance, I'm never going to not drink or each my favorite chips but I am convinced I can live a healthy and fit lifestyle with a little less extremes. For now not drinking is my only option until I get my bearings again.
So today I feel really good - been working really hard and my previous "stretch" of investing in myself has stuck with me which is highly motivating. I have been watching my food intake - and although I've eaten some crazy items I have few regrets and a renewed sense of go time before June. Here's a couple things I have done:
- I can start on a random day now. Doesn't have to be a Monday or the beginning of the month. This is a big deal for me.
- Even when I'm eating badly I have been watching my portions.
- I have much more of a concept of gaining some weight when I attend the gym. Also when I start to lose weight and am eating badly I realize I'm losing some of my hard work.
- I celebrate by sabotaging less and begin more driven.
- I obsess less and enjoy more.
- Water is in my mind much more often and have made water bottles available.
- Tim Hortons is no longer a routine... coffee at work is a thing. But I don't have to calorie count it now.
- Walks every single morning. I find it rids my body of morning anxiety, and the dog loves it too.
Today I start the gym up again. This will be a tough one - as I have been working super hard at work. I'll be proud I completed it.
