Day 3 - Staying focused over the weekend

Happy Saturday,

Last night I tried a recipe for Weight Watcher's enchiladas. It turned out to be a hot mess. I used veggie cheese and 2% velveta. The low cal tortillas were hard and the veggie cheese does not melt well in the oven. OMG. Never again. There is nothing worse than wasting your precious points on a bad dish. Needless to say I was still hungry so I had a 1/2 of banana. This morning I ate egg substitute with 1/2 cup of mixed mushrooms, broccoli florets, green onion, white onion, bell peppers and a 1/2 slice of American cheese.

The hard part about dieting is keeping focused and motivated. I am going select a piece of clothing that does not fit. Let's call this piece of clothing my "tier one emotional goal." My tier one emotional goal will serve as a daily motivator.

I have chosen  a fabulous pair of jeans as my tier one emotional goal. I love these jeans. My goal is to wear these jeans during the Christmas holidays. On the day I wear my jeans the bad enchilada dinner will be a distant memory...ahead blue skies, lots of vegetables and a new healthy lifestyle.

I KNOW I CAN DO IT.

Activity for today:  I spent 1 hour cleaning up leaves, pulling leaves and sweeping the patio. Later today I am going to clean rust off of my bicycle and take a walk by the river.

Tonight, I am having grilled shrimp with a salad for dinner.

My theme song.  I will survive as long as I have food to eat I know I'll stay alive. I have all my family and friends and lots of support. I will survive.


Blessings and Peace to All
