I started this day feeling pretty bad, I had a weigh in and I had gained weight rather than losing. I felt upset because I have incorporated a routine to head to the gym and I have tried to be very intentional about my eating all week. However, on Saturday I went to a coworkers home for a get together and I ate a few things that were not within the plant-based category. If you can feel my energy then you know that I was very disappointed. However, I allowed myself a cheat day and I met my water goal for the day. Each day I try to have at least half of my body weight in water. I nailed that today, but I definitely felt that I have to be very strict with myself during this week. For instance, if it is not plant based it will not go in my belly. Also, I purposely purchased a new swim suit so that becomes my evening workout. I have a workout buddy that plans to meet me on the track at 5a and then I will get some swimming in tomorrow evening. I am praying for a successful goal meeting week.
My goals for this week: To loose, increase water, to refrain from wanting a cheat day and to try salads without salad dressing. I have been using vinegar and olive oil and perhaps I need to refrain from that regimen. While I am not sure, I just want to change my diet and to feel comfortable while doing it. My family and I went to the grocery store store this evening and came out with 80% of produce. I was ecstatic tonight when my kids had grapes and blueberries for snack. I won't tell you that I wanted to run around the house yelling when they both had water as well. I think that each week will become better for us, I cheated today and did not maintain my regimen. But, I am very thankful that tomorrow is a new day that gives me the opportunity to take a stab at it again.
I am excited that my meals this week will include: cabbage, collard greens, zucchini & Spinach... YEA!! I am wishing everyone a super week and I will keep you posted on my progress.
PEACE
PJ
