Late Start

Hi all,
    Happy Wednesday! Sorry about the late start today. I know that I have mentioned that I am actively search for a new job and today is one of those day's were I take a seminar and work with a coach. I know this has nothing to do with my weight lose program. WRONG!!!, of course it does. It presents me with new challenges like today. So today I got up, got ready and headed out to the program. Doesn't seem that bad, except for the fact that I have been out of work for a year now and getting up earlier and preparing a proper meal for breakfast and lunch is not something I am accustomed. Usually I get up around 10:00 am. and have all day to plan my meals and execute them. Needless to say I got up at the last minute, got ready and ran out the door. This left me with no time to eat or prepare a lunch. What to do now, do I return to my bad habits and stop by McD's and get a breakfast muffin with sausage. Follow up by a Big Mac for lunch. No, I didn't do it. I stayed strong and stayed away from those kinds of places. Instead I did eat all. From the time I got up till 3:00 pm all I had was water and lots of it. This too is obviously not the answer. The answer is to get myself ready now before I start that new job I'm going to find so that when the day comes I'm prepared. So that's the plan over the next couple of weeks, get ready for when I return to the working masses and stick to the diet.

     Some good news today to share: Every day now I need to be business professional and that means pulling out the close I haven't worn in a year. Well much to my surprise I wore a pair of pants today that didn't fit me last year. They had been in the closet for probably 2 years because they didn't fit. Now they do!!!!!!!
What better motivator can there be? Weekly you get on a scale and weigh yourself and hope for progress but to actually see the progress in a practical way is amazing. I know this is probably a little shallow because the obvious benefits are truly to you Health and Well Being. I say any positive should be shouted from the roof tops. After all it's about keeping me true to the program and myself. That's it for today, remember

Have a good one, keep strong and don't let little set backs keep you from your goals.

Thanx,
