Slip Ups

I know it's late but hey, better late than never. I am starting to see some changes starting with my appetite. I am seeing that I do not have to rely on the alarm clock completely. I am however, noticing that my craving for water has diminished. I am going to have to make sure that I stay on top of my game. Speaking of staying on top of my game, I have decided that I can not have any kind of candy in the house. You see my husband saw that there was a sale and decided buy some bags. Why did I have to see it? (T_T) Tried as I might I gave in. I am not going to beat myself up like I use to do but I still need to practice restraint. I recently ordered a dvd that that will allow me to walk/jog three miles at home when I am unable to get to the gym. Again, I am starting over and do not wish to rush into this so much that I burn myself out. This is not just a quick weight loss plan so that I can be skinny but a life style change. Luckily, I have discovered that there is a organic health food store not far from where I live. It is amazing! They have the freshest foods and I love their weekly specials. I was able to get an entire whole organic chicken just for signing up on their e-mail list. This week's deal allowed me to get a carton of eggs, half a gallon of orange juice, one protein bar, a box of cereal and a carton of almond milk for only five dollars! I was ecstatic when I saw the cash register jump from 16.00 to five dollars! I will have to ask the manager if it is alright to mention the store in my blog so I can share the deals with all of you. (^_^) I am excited about tomorrow. That's right! It is aqua boot camp day! I can't wait. Look at me staying up all hours of the night as if it was my birthday or something. (>_<) Oddly enough, even though I am down eight pounds, I still feel like I am not doing enough. Crazy I know. Yes, I know I had the little candy slip up but that is no reason for me to feel that I gained 8+ pounds back. This is something that I have been working on for a while. The moment I lose a little weight, I start worrying about gaining it all back and then some. Just like with my physical health, I have to take on day at a time, take back my self-esteem and my confidence. I can do it. It is just going to take a little time. Until next time.
