Four Days And Counting

FINALLY FRIDAY.....  (as sang by George Jones)
 
 
Has it been 4 days already?  They have flown by as I have had numerous appointments but it seems like I haven’t accomplished much yet.  I am trying to keep in mind this is a whole new lifestyle for me but at times today I became very frustrated and really had to fight the urge to go wipe out half of the refrigerator.  I am trying to keep an upbeat and positive attitude but have struggled with that some today.

 Four days is not enough time to establish new habits but I have been good sticking with my morning and before bed routines.  That is, until today.  I think the only part of my morning routine I managed to do was weigh.  I didn’t even get my medication taken until late this afternoon.  I was up 0.4 pounds today, which was not a surprise to me but I need to make sure I don’t head back the wrong way.   I did manage to stay fairly good with my eating today.  I went over my calorie budget by 20 calories although I did get in 5 servings of fruits and vegetables today (green beans, salad, tomato, blackberries and an orange) along with ONE chocolate truffle (I was craving something sweet).

 As far as the weekend goes, for now I am going to concentrate on continuing my morning and before bed routines on the weekends.  Anything else I feel like doing will just be extra.  I want to have my weekends free for family, friends and fun but also to rest so that Monday I can hit the ground running again.

Let me know what you do to recharge your batteries over the weekend so you are ready to start the next week.

 

Until tomorrow…..
