It's around 7:00pm and I took a break from cleaning to come on here to write a quick post and then I'm off to make dinner. As much as I wanted to go paddle boarding today, I didn't want to put off cleaning until later or possibly even next weekend. As much as I am a fan of being on the water and getting exercise I can't put off my responsibilities. I have spent the entire day cleaning and I am happy I did. I feel like I accomplished something today which feels great.
For dinner tonight I am going to do something simple. It is incredibly hot in our house and I am all sweaty from cleaning all day. The last thing I feel like doing is turning on the oven or cooking in front of an open flame. I think I'll make the kids some mac & cheese or maybe even some Top Ramen. For myself, I will have another micro-meal with a side of fresh veggies (I am so many to choose from I am not sure what I'll have yet).
This is been a great weekend. I don't ever want to go back to my old life style. I feel great, have tons of energy, and feel healthier...losing weight is an added benefit to all of that. I want to keep documenting how good I feel so that I can keep reminding my future self to NOT go off this awesome diet:
Dear Fat Self,
One day you may wake up and think "I don't need to diet anymore, I can lose weight with exercise alone". Or maybe you fall off the wagon and binge on pizza, burgers, ice cream, and candy. Or maybe you slowly stop going to the gym because you're too busy and then you lose all your motivation to stay with the healthy diet... Whatever the reason is DO NOT GIVE UP. Nobody's perfect and people make mistakes. When you eat healthy and exercise you feel GREAT, much better than you usually do. You have more energy to do fun things with your kids and you and your kids are SO MUCH HAPPIER!! Do not forgot that. Look back at these posts and remember how awesome you were feeling. You may hit a rut one day and you may think about giving up...DON'T. Just take it one day at a time and you will be okay.
Sincerely,
Your Healthier Self
