Not Another Resolution!!
Dec 30, 2013
I am 3.5 years post op and swore after my initial weight loss that I would never make another New Year's resolution.
Now, I am finding that I have "gone astray"...I am eating things I swore I'd never touch again. I am grazing all day. I am not working the plan that got me out of morbid obesity.
So, now it is Dec. 31, 2013. I am making a resolution to return to the plan that gave me peace, a life, improved my health and gave me a gift that is truely priceless.....weightloss of almost 100 pounds. I have gone from my lowest weight of 149 to 164 and can visualize a steady rise if I don't get this under control.
15 pounds to lose, I could easily do it. That was a reachable goal. Now is the time to test this and see if that is true or not. Today (not tomorrow) I am going to start tracking my food again. I am going to work out 5 days a week (cycling, walking and hand weights). I am going to get back into the Word of God. I am going to pray for strength and guidance. I am going to nurture my physicial, spiritual and emotional self.
I am going to reexamine my role at work and growing our programs ( a nonprofit health center). I am going to bow out of the fundraising and let the board handle this portion. I am going to focus on my job and not overextend myself. I am going to be good to me, so I can be good to others.
Being good to me will start with:
- eating good food, not empty calories
- not buying food that I cannot resist
- enjoying what I eat, by eating slower and taking time to savor
- cook more and eat out less
I know this will produce good results and I am committed to report in this blog what happens. Will you join me and let me know how you are doing?
