New Day

Man! Yesterday was an emotional day. I got in a funk so now I gotta dig out of it! Sometimes it is easy to get down and be hard on yourself.

I am strong, I am a good person, and I deserve to be happy and healthy.

So, let's see what's been going on with my goals...

I have been trying to get better about what I put in my mouth. I had a few days of slip ups with peanut butter cookies. And a couple days where we ended up having to eat out a few times. I should have planned a little better.

I haven't gotten the hang of measuring food. I feel like I have been guestimating well, I try to add a little more to whatever I think I ate. So that even if I am off a bit I will still have it covered. I have been trying to eat more of the low calorie veggies and less of the more calorie dense parts of the meals. So we have been buying lots of different veggies... Mmmm snap peas...

Activity-wise, my ankle is still hurtingnbut I have been stretching it multiple times a day and trying to get in some form of excersize as many days as I can. We also had a day this week where we took a family walk and picked some fresh blackberries. Everyone seemed to have a good time.

I also have realized I really need to focus on positive self-talk. I need to be able to love myself no matter the size. When you sit down to make a list of things you like about yourself, you should be able to come up with something without there being a but involved.

I am strong, I am a good person, and I deserve to be happy and healthy.
