Grilled Chicken

My mom has lost 100 Ibs since September last year. How fantastic is that!? We are on the weight loss journey together and her continuous success is a true motivation for me.

I am in need of some serious adjustments to my personal journey as my mind hasn't been in the game for quite some while. I haven't been able to pin-point the attributing factors to my derailing either. So, the plateau has become a slight hill instead.

I have made a personal commitment to tracking absolutely everything this week and will even show my leader my tracker at my next weigh in. Hmm... Weekdays aren't the problem. It's during the weekends that any excuse seems to do. Either it's eating out or 'just one ice cream', etc. Smart choices is the way to go and I need to figure out distractions to help me with this.

Food needs to be fuel for my body and the choices I make need to go along with this. Currently with 24 points per day, I can still eat very well. I am excited and look forward to the day when I'm at my goal and my daily point allowance will be 22. Not that big of a change, but 2 points can go along way.

I have the best support system in the world and my husband tries to help me as much as possible. Our bodies are so different so it's sometimes hard for me to say no. Also, I enjoy trying new foods and new restaurants but having to keep track, or rather, wanting to track everything makes this very difficult. A grilled chicken salad can only be made so many different ways.

Cheers to my journal - the newest addition to my journey!
