Week 2 Weigh In

Oh Geez! I gained a pound! A whole pound! But guess what, my friends? I'm thrilled about it. Why would I be so happy about a gain, you ask? Because I'm paying attention to my gain, for once, and I'm analyzing everything I did over the past week. Whether it was good or bad, I'm looking at it.

The Not-so-Great Things I Did
-Ordering two meals for myself at delicious Taco Bell
-Snacking on too many M & Ms
-Eating the slices of cheese rather than putting them on my sandwich, omelette, homemade pizza, and then putting it away
-Ordering an high-points meal at TGI Friday's AFTER eating an appetizer

Fabulous and Awesome Things I Did
-Increased water intake
-Triumphed over the bagel store by staying out of there 6 days in a row
-Ate more vegetables. Ate vegetables, period. I'm not good at getting my five-a-day by any means, but at least having one a day is a start, right?
-Didn't eat late
-Dusted off my running sneakers and went back to the gym
-Tried diet green tea for the first time (I hear it boosts metabolism!)

So overall, I was productive in terms of trying to build healthy habits again. Truthfully, I'm not HAPPY I gained weight. Who, in their efforts to lose, really wants to gain? But I am thankful that I can look at it as something positive and turn it around.
