It's been a solid week of getting my body use to eating better than I have in a long time. It feels great. I have a lot more energy already. I'm not sleeping as late and when I'm up I'm not dragging. I have a lot of hope that this may actually work. Now to start making exercise a part of this routine. Baby steps will now progressed to a toddler's pace!
In rushing around yesterday morning I decided that a Coke and a McDonalds breakfast burrito combo was going to be my treat. I haven't had a soda in ten days and I've not had any fast food since the Chick-Fila before my WW plan started. I anticipated the delicious tastes in my mouth, pulled away from the window and took a long drag on the straw. The Coke hit my taste buds with a "Hello Dahling!" and I instantly felt like sugar was crawling down my throat to my thighs. The burrito tasted like a paper towel with light seasoning and I won't even tell you how greasy the hash brown was. I was hungry so I ate it, but I realized that I really wanted my Greek yogurt with fruits and nuts more. Take THAT fast food, you aren't gonna win this battle! LOL
As I drifted off to sleep amidst the rain fall outside my window I thought about how I plan to tackle the plateau; the one that I will face down the road. If I create a plan now to attack it, then when it arrives I'll just put that plan into action. I have the P90X DVD's. I need to check them all out and see which ones I'll be able to do in the near future. My back-up plan is Zumba class at a dance studio not to far from work. My only issue with all of that is the torn meniscus in my right knee. I can't do stairs or squatting so if it involves a lot of that I'll have to alter it a bit.
Today (Thurs) marks my one week anniversary of being on Weight Watchers. I'll see how well my eating habits have worked for me. I've been diligent in writing all foods in the online tool provided for me. It keeps track of all points consumed, what I ate, and how it's affecting my total points score (36) and if I used up any of the Bonus Points (49) for that week. I feel GREAT!!
