The scale might not be moving the way I want it to, but I've made progress since deciding to get healthy. I had three goals to start with and I've accomplished all three!
The first goal was to eat breakfast every morning. I can't even imagine NOT having breakfast now. It makes such a difference in how I feel and how I approach food the rest of the day.
The second goal was to drink more water and less diet Coke. I'm happy to say I drink lots more water now. I still occasionally have a diet Coke but at least it's not the only beverage I drink throughout the day.
The third goal was to cut back on sweets. No one is more surprised than I am at how much I have cut back. I had to have something sweet every single day. This didn't affect just my weight but my blood sugar also. The sweets were killing me, literally. I still allow myself a treat every week, but just one serving. There was the binge a couple of weeks ago, but I was able to gain control much sooner than in the past. This is progress!
So it's time to set and achieve new goals. Here they are.
1. Ride the stationary bike for 20 minutes by the end of April
2. Give up foods containing artificial sweeteners
3. Keep a food diary. I keep saying I'm going to do this but I haven't started. It will help me see what I eat, when I eat, and how it affects my blood sugar.
Have you set or reached goals for your health?
Have a great weekend!!
