Day 12

Last night was definitely a night of indulgence. Luckily I left a lot of extra Weight Watchers points so I could pig out a little :)

But now my stomach is all funky today.
It was weird though, because I got french fries yesterday and they tasted weird. I mean they were made like normal, but I think that I just don't have a taste for them anymore. I haven't eaten anything like that in a while, maybe I am just getting used to healthier foods and I won't enjoy the unhealthy stuff as much anymore.

This is a break through!

I also didn't workout yesterday, but the best part about this new attitude that I have is that it is ok to have a downer day. You can just pick yourself up and move on!

As far as my workout goes I am working out 5-6 days a week. Monday and Wednesday I do an hour of jazz/ballet dance class, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday I do a 3 step Bye Bye Belly Fat workout from Womenshealthmag.com and combine that with 15 minutes of the Prevention Cardio DVD. On that DVD I usually just do the whole Power Walk section; which is around 15 mins long.

Today I am feeling very encouraged because I am finally at a place where I won't give up and I am ready to do this all the way to the end. People always said that I should lose weight and that I needed to, but I never did. It had to be something that I chose to do on my own.
I have made that choice.

Another thing that is on my mind today is the "diet" part of what I am doing.
I really don't like calling it a diet. I am changing my life, not just what I eat.
Don't get me wrong what I eat is very different then what I used to eat on a daily bases like 3 weeks ago, but it is a change in how I live my life. That is the most important part of this whole journey.

Also I let myself indulge a little too :) That makes this easier too. I don't restrict myself with sugar. I have bags of 15 chocolate chips, which equals 1 Weight Watchers point, and if I need something sweet I eat 15 chocolate chips slowly and savor the flavor! Satisfies my female need for sweets and also makes me happy because I am still enjoyinf what I eat. What a concept!

Oh something I forgot to mention before I am taking a Meijer brand Daily Diet Support mult vitamin and Biotin. The multi vitamin is helping with energy and also giving me all the nutrients I need. Biotin promotes Carbohydrates, Fat & Energy metabolism and also makes your hair and nails grow faster and become healthier.

Well, thats all for today!

Embrace the journey to a new life.

God is continually faithful.
