Overcoming 2

Today I had a overcoming moment. I went to Sam's to look for something for the school. I did not find what I was looking for, but I did find something else I wanted. No it was not a donut. It was a large 87 cent cup of cherry coke. Who can resist that? Well, I did not. Are you asking well how is that overcoming by buying a huge cup of coke? I bought it, took it to the next place and drank about 1/4 of it. Then it happened. I decide that that drink was not good for me. That it was not helping me be a better mom, wife or friend. So the rest of that big cup of cherry coke went into the trash can at toys r us.

I am not saying that I am doing everything right in order to lose weight. Trust me at this point I am just getting excited about the little victories. I am working on my drinking. Ha. I do not drink very much during the day. And if I do drink it is not things I need to be drinking. Peach Sweet Tea from Sonic is a daily drink for me. Large at that. But the last two days no sweet tea. Water, more and more water and less and less bad drinks are the plan for this week. Next week- adding cutting back on how much I am eating!

Remember to celebrate all victories, even the smallest! We can do it!

Overcome?

I have a few favorite songs right now. Overcomer by Mandisa, Redeemed by Big Daddy Weave, and He is With Us by Love and the Outcome. Each song speaks to what I am working on, losing weight. I admit- food controls me more then I want it too. For those that do not have issues with food, I know it is hard to understand. I had a breakfast biscuit and a cold coffee drink this morning for breakfast. I had to run by the store after I dropped the kids off and I ended up buying another cold coffee drink. We all know what goes well with coffee. That's right, DONUTS. I wanted so bad to stop and get 2 cake donuts with chocolate icing. Sounds good, doesn't it? So I decided that I would save my coffee drink until after going to one more store and stop and get donuts. Don't forget I already had breakfast about an hour before. As I was getting closer to the gas station (because there was not a donut place on the way to my house), I had to repeat over and over, Satan you will not win. I know that it should be easy to just say no, I don't need that donut and that should be it. But for me, it is not that easy. I really had to put everything into driving past the gas station while repeating Satan, you will NOT win. He did not win when it comes to the donuts today. I did drink the coffee drink. One small victory at a time. I will overcome!

Fell off the truck and just found it again!

I did work out. For 3 whole days. Then life got busy and I fell off the truck. The truck drove away and I could not catch it. It has come back around and I am ready to hop back on board. I have realized that I need to get a few things organized before I can more forward. I have already organized my calendar and feel like I have a handle on that. Tomorrow will start a week long process of organizing my home. Things have gotten so out of control. Please know that my home is not a total disaster, but does need things to be put back where they belong. Yes, I am giving myself the week. I need to take it slow and make sure that it is what I want. My workout goal this week is simple. None. My goal is to drink. A Lot. Ok a lot of water. I was told that you are suppose to drink have your weight in water. That is a lot of water for me. Especially since I probably only drink 16 oz a day. This is so boring. It is boring me, so I would think you are just as bored. Let me try again.
