So as luck would have it, I had a doctor's appointment this morning, so I was able to have an "official" weight check. Was it good news, no! Am I going to share the #, absolutely not. Not yet anyway. I haven't decided yet how much of that I will publicly share. What I will share is that I was horrified and it confirmed that something really does need to be done. NOW! I am lucky that I don't have any medical issues as a result of my weight, but why wait until that happens. They are right around the corner just waiting to complicate my life. Did I mention that I am a busy mom of 3 kids who works full-time? I don't need medical complications that's for sure.
My goal today was to just make a few better choices and accept victory at making those choices. So here's what I chose - a banana for breakfast instead of a bagel or nothing. I won't give up my coffee, but I did choose to not stop for a 2nd cup when I got to work. For lunch, I went to Chipolte because it's my favorite and there is one next door to the doctor. I got my usual salad, but asked for super light on the sour cream and cheese. I think I got a tablespoon of each instead of the cup or so they usually pile on. And you know what, it was still really good. I'll have to check on the calories and fat in the dressing, so next time maybe I'll 1/2 that too. Then, I buckled and had a handful of sunflower seeds, but stopped at a handful and chose grapes instead.
So my journey today is about choices. Everything I eat and drink is a choice. I just have to keep making the right ones and the balance my body craves will soon follow. I truly believe that!
