My Thought Pattern is Already Changing

Well, first let me say that I walked 3 miles on Friday and the 3 miles yesterday too! We ate out yesterday so it was hard to add to my log. I think I ended up ok on calories, but my fat % was probably a little high. I'll give myself a day. But I am back to logging everything today! I will probably weigh twice a week. My plan is to weigh Tues or Wed of this week.

Now to the title of this post... When I open my eyes in the morning, I think about what I can do today to make my commitment to a healthy lifestyle come to fruition. It has just happened. I noticed that the last several days, the first thing I think in the morning is not that I want a diet coke! But I am kind of making a plan for the day. (I am NOT a planner by nature!) Today, I thought about jumping out of bed and taking a walk. I also reminded myself that I need to go to the grocery store. (I won't be able to make it through lunch and stick to the plan with what I have on hand.) In less than a week, I can see the changes in my thought patterns. I am already happier. I feel hopeful. I feel empowered. I am excited about my future. It's been a long long time since I have felt how I feel right now. And I know it will only get better!

As I think about it, I really want to encourage everyone out there to figure out something that they've really wanted to do for a long time and to take a step toward making it happen. The pay off will be far more than you can imagine.
