Staying focused while on Holidays!

Posted by Nicole | POST A COMMENT

First of all I want to thank all the family, friends, and listeners who encouraged me to be consistent with my exercise. I was able to get out and walk 4 times during the last week! Not only did the exercise feel good I was also able to explore a few new places around where I live. The other morning I went for a walk thru the wooded park close to my house. I was so amazing that once you get into the woods you forget that you are still in the city… What a great new way for me to get away from it all without ever leaving the city. This week, I’m on holidays and with that comes a whole new group of challenges… I’m trying to stay busy but there are so many places to go and people to go and visit and all of them seem to have something to do with food. I have been temped to go out and eat more that I would be when I’m working. If I don’t stay busy and on the move I find my self opening the fridge or pantry which leaves me even more temped to eat all of the things I should really stay away from. I really have a lot of respect for all those stay at home Mom’s out there who are around the temptation all day. Last weekend I bought a box of skinny cow fudge bars…. Only 90 cal/per right?…. That only works if you only eat one! On Monday I counted how many were left in the box.. I then wrote that number on the box singed my name and wrote the date of the next time I would allow myself to eat one.. So far it has worked. So next Saturday I have a date with a skinny Cow…lol….. I’m trying to make the most of my time off by getting all the things done I don’t usually have time for… I’m also continuing to establish a set workout routine. I have been making sure that this week I spend extra time for exercise as I have more time. With the coming work week I will continue what I have started, and every week I want to challenge myself go a little farther and do a little more then the last! I’m learning that my weight loss journey is going to happen one choice at a time, and every good choice will put me one step closer to becoming a healthier, happier me!
