I am now at the end of my seventy-seventh day of my journey. I have so much to be excited about. Each day I stick to my processes is a blessing and something to celebrate. I know I have said this over and over, but my choices are so much different today than they were before I made this lifestyle change. I had to make a late run to my sisters to grab something tonight. I wasn't exactly hungry, but I definitely could have eaten. If this had happened four months ago, I would have been hitting Sonic up for some greasy food, ice cream, and a Route 44 Cherry Coke (whether I was hungry or not). I would have put down about 1500-2000 calories and felt sick as a dog. Fast forward to tonight, the thought of stopping wasn't even in my head (other than comparing how in the past I would have stopped for food). It is so freeing not to have the temptation hitting me over and over.
Wherever you are in your journey and whatever your goal, celebrate the difference you see in yourself along the way. For me it's that temptations are easier to overcome as well as occurring less often. It's the range of motion I'm gaining back (which seems to improve each week) and the clothes that fit (or fit again). I am into a smaller belt, and I'm just waiting on someone to compare my pants to MC Hammer's (Can't Touch This!). My face is where I'm noticing the most difference. I'm seeing more and more of the old guy I used to wake up and see in the mirror each day. I want to encourage you to motivate yourself with each of those differences you are noticing. Push hard for each milestone and don't lose focus. You can do this, and so can I. I'm losing my butter half!
Calorie intake was great today and I added an extra ten minutes to my exercise. I've got those night before weigh in nerves as normal. I know I stuck to my processes and should be pleasantly surprised in the morning. I have confidence that if I stick to the plan, I will be successful on my journey.
