Channeling my inner Jarod…
Just a quickie today…
THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAY…Eh?
Wow…
Well, my week has gone very well…I have almost completed week three of my New Journey…And overall, I am very pleased…
This week I kept my calories way down, and surprisingly, did not feel deprived or hungry…
I have walked every day, although this is the next thing on my list…I want to increase my exercise as soon as I can join a gym. That should be within the next two weeks…
So I finally got paid today…My second check, not my first…its still MIA…
So I decided to take myself out to lunch today…
I was hungry. Didn’t have a filling breakfast (A special K bar and some honey baked pretzels). So my first action was to go across the street and check out the little Ma & Pa Mexican joint across the street. It smelled soooo good and a long line was forming…So I go in…
I am fully prepared to eat what I want…Although, I am not sure why…Hunger, I suppose…Frustration from my week…Elation that I finally have some money in my account. Who knows…At any rate, I temporarily lost my mojo…Or my good sense…
So I am reading the menu…Tacos…Burritos…NACHO’s…OH MY…I focus on the nachos…They sound yummy. Homemade chips with beans, cheese sauce, meat, shredded cheese (TWO CHEESES), guacamole…YUM…
And then I see “Salad”…And I think oh, okay…I could get a Mexican salad…Without cheese…Without guacamole…Without…Without…Without…
What’s the point in a Mexican salad? That’s not what you go to a Mexican restaurant for!
And then it hits me…
Truly, it might have been the voice of God. The voice of my inner self…Or heck, maybe it was Jarod! LOL…
“Dawn, why are you standing here?”
And I truly wake up and realize I don’t need to be here…And that I SHOULDN’T be here…I have NO RIGHT to be here when I have soooo far to go and there are MANY more BETTER options for me.
If I had lost several pounds, been doing in this for months, maybe, and only maybe, then could I reward myself a little…
But at the end of measly little week three?? NO WAY. I will not do it…
I leave the line, walk next door and get a nice 6 inch sub from Subway. No cheese. No condiments. And it came in at 300 calories…
Waking up just saved me several dollar and probably 900 calories…
I am telling you…I am there…I am fighting this every step of the way…
Cheers to you all, and here’s hoping we all have a successful weekend…
great choice… So proud of you
Awesome choice !
Way to make a healthy choose and you are right. You can reward yourself later on down the road when you know you wont stumble.
Good for you!
