I'm so grateful to be back on track this week. I made a conscientious effort to not go too long without eating and I really noticed a greater sense of self control. This week I also went to a water aerobics class. It really kicked my trash. I loved it! It was also nice for a little bit of change.
Last night I was extremely tempted to grab something at Panda Express. My huge weakness. I was on my way there fully prepared to compromise and get something on the menu that had more veggies (I usually get the orange chicken which must be the worst fast food item in the country as it is so delicious!) when I noticed a Subway nearby that I had never noticed before. Instead of getting something drenched in grease when it is cooked, I got a delicious turkey sandwich loaded with veggies. I opt for the sweet onion sauce instead of mayo to cut calories and fat. It is tangy and delicious. Whoever decided to make the $5 footlong was a genius! At any rate I was proud of myself for choosing a healthier option.

Yeah, I know I shouldn't use the holiday as an excuse to eat garbage but I did. Now I'm suffering the consequences. I must keep my end goal in mind every time I am tempted!

My weight loss goals are right on track. I barely met my exercise goals this week due to an erratic schedule at work. I'm grateful that I was still able to make my goals. The weekly and bi-monthly rewards that I have set for myself have kinda fallen by the wayside. The funny thing is, I don't really need them anymore. Feeling good physically has been reward enough for me. I always doubted how good I would feel once I started a regular exercise program. I never want to be that sluggish and lazy again. I'm really excited to go hike Angel's Landing. That is definitely a goal & a reward wrapped in one. Hopefully I'll be able to do tons of hiking this summer.
Fun thing of the week: my clothes are starting to feel loose! It's a bittersweet happiness because it will be exciting to get new clothes but sad because I can't afford them. We shall see how long I can wear my current clothes before they are much too baggy. Luckily I still have a few things in my closet that I don't wear simply because they are too tight.
