My Big Fat Journey

Hot here today but I am doing good. Had a commitment yesterday that involved cooking mass quantities of bad carb food for the local Moose Lodge I belong to. There wasn’t a single thing there that I could have except 2 slices of tomato. I was cutting up dessert and absentmindedly licked my finger without even realizing it. I caught myself though and spit it out! That just goes to show how badly I was on food autopilot before. Mindlessly eating whatever I wanted. How monumentally stupid. Breaking those old habits is an important part of this weight loss journey. I started my 6 week fitness challenge today. I did an advanced pilates video that was a little too advanced for me but if I couldn’t do the exercises they were doing, I would just modify it or do crunches for that series. Phew, that was hard and my abs are feeling it! I also did 50 squats and 10 minutes of arm work using a resistance band. I’m proud of myself and feel great!
