Back on track....I think.

I finally sat down and had a good talk to myself the other day about why I started Nutrisystem in the first place. I asked myself all of those important questions about why I wanted to lose weight, looked back at how far I've come, and also asked if I wanted to continue on. My answer to the last question was OF COURSE! I want to get to my goal. I want to be healthy. I want to live a long and happy life. I want to be able to do all of the things that I can't do now because of my weight. SO, I forced myself to get back on track, one meal at a time. I made it through breakfast just fine. Made it through lunch perfectly. Ate my afternoon snack. Good. Then came dinner. We went out. I had all of these thoughts of how I was going to fail racing through my mind, but you know what? I didn't! I behaved. I ordered the good, healthy stuff that I was supposed to, NOT the greasy stuff that I wanted. I asked for dressing on the side and only used probably a teaspoon on the whole salad. I had water instead of pop. I did good. Needless to say, I was very proud of myself. I also got in my exercise yesterday by mowing the yard and pulling weeds out of my flowers. My legs and arms are telling me this morning that I did a good thing. They're sore, but not so much that I can't move. Today I have stayed on track even though there are donuts (brought home by hubby) sitting on the counter trying to call my name. I'm not listening though. I will succeed on this journey! I will have bumps in the road along the way, but I will get to my final destination.
