Yesterday, I got in eight 8-oz bottles of water (64 oz, or almost 2 liters). I decreased my Diet Coke by drinking less than 2 liters again. In the exercise department ... wait for it ... I walked TWO miles! My knees were hurting and I walked very slowly, but I even did 1/2 mile of the walking outside in the beautiful 60 degree sunny day.
This morning, the scale was down lower than it has been for over a month. Each day, it has been up a little, down a little the next day, but the overall progress has been one pound. I'm actually down four pounds from the highest it got during that time.
Doing these mini-habits is not a "30 pounds in 30 days diet" - it is gradually changing the HABITS that drive my behaviors. Every day for nine days now, I have been having 5 servings of fruits and vegetables, eating on smaller plates to limit my portion sizes, cutting back tremendously on unhealthy snacks, getting in at least 8 cups of water, and cutting back on Diet Coke. All small steps, but all leading me in the right direction.
Those of you who have been around awhile and have seen my journey over these past three years know that walking two miles is quite a feat for me! My goal is not to keep increasing the distance I walk, but to become consistent in exercising. So far, so good!
I've got a busy day today, taking my mother-in-law to a doctor appointment, going to BJ's for groceries, having a 90-minute counseling call (geared toward setting boundaries with our adult children - PTL our 34-year-old son hasn't asked us for any money or to buy him anything in two full weeks!), and of course, my morning price monitoring jobs (which starts me off with my first 1/2 mile of walking). I'm planning ahead by taking four bottles of water with me and bringing my ear buds so I can listen to an audiobook while my MIL is at the doctor (I will wait in the car - lovely day for it).
Hope all of you likewise have a great day today!
