I am loving my elliptical! I know I originally had planned on working out 3 days in a row, but I skipped one day. However because I had skipped that day I increased my goal time from 13 minutes to 15 minutes! And I rocked it!!! I was so happy to make that accomplishment! It truly is about baby steps! I am reminded every minute that it's also about choices.
One of the best choices I've made for my family is planning our meals. Every week I plan our meals and make my grocery list. It helps us (hubby and I) stay on track and not eat out. Not to toot my own horn but I have cut back on buying coffee as well. I love coffee and coffee shops. It's not only the coffee, but it's something about buying a cup of coffee while I'm out and about.... My goal for coffee is now once a week after I go to my Weight Watcher meeting. However, I will only do that if I have a loss that week. It is my treat to myself. I know one of the first things you learn is don't reward yourself with food, but coffee is one of my vices and if I can cut back to once a week and make it a skinny latte vs. the fatty sweet coffee then I think I am doing darn good! My sister and I are supposed to go get coffee this week, this is where I will have to be strong and get tea instead. I know I can do it. :) It's about choices and staying on track. This will be the year I am successful!
This weekend my hubby and I (along with little man) did our grocery shopping for the week. Before starting Weight Watchers when we would go out shopping we would stop somewhere and get lunch. Yes, we still stopped and got lunch. We went to Subway for lunch instead of the usual fast food or fattening place. We had a our plan set before we even stepped foot into Subway, we made sure we were prepared, and it felt GREAT to be in control!
What choice have you made this last week that's helped you be successful? Take control and make good choices and you'll feel great!
