One day at a time

Here I am, reporting my journaling from yesterday like I said I would. Yesterday was the first time in a long time time that I actually recorded everything that I put in my mouth. I must say, I'm out of practice. But I did it, even though I didn't feel like it. So here's the stats:

1,700 calories, 14 glasses of water, and excersized. I ran 2.2 in the morning,( lots of hills!) And then I walked that same 2.2 with the boys early in the afternoon, to play at the park.

You know, I was a bit grumpy to be journaling again, because I have been allowing myself more treats lately... but not yesterday. When you take the time to see the calorie content, it really makes you think twice about popping it in your mouth. What my body needs is proper fuel, not a temporary sugar high. I opted for the sliced up sweet red peppers for a snack yesterday, instead of a bit of candy. And in making that right choice, I felt sooo good, so in control. And all of that water I know helped flush my system a bit. I'm down a solid two pounds from just yesterday. I'll weigh again tomorrow, for a better guage. I'm not too excited about the weight, yet, because I'd gained like 4 1/2 pounds over the last couple of weeks. I'm still a few away from what what my ticker says. : ( We'll see what the magic number says tomorrow. I'm going to be getting my van today, so YMCA, here I come!!
