Blog 6/1

Hello,

What a wonderful way to bring in June. After having a lot of success with Eating Clean for twelve weeks I followed this success with a little rut. I started into some old habits and I realized that I was having my old mood swings and irritability. I heard one time that "Nothing tastes better than feeling healthy" and I truly believe that. I know that I am not going to make perfect choices pertaining to eating all of the time but I do know that when I do make the right choices I feel 100% better. It is funny, I was not going to take nutrition this time because of my small hiccup and now I feel like it was the best decision I ever made. I bit the bullet, stepped on the scale (but I didn't look) and got right back to the program. The funny thing is it only takes one day for my feelings to change. I have been trying to pinpoint which days I was having the most success and those were the days when I ate a large lunch (6 oz protein, sweet potato, and green veg). This left me somewhat satisfied the rest of the day. I also realized that I had started lessening my water intake. When I drink all of my water I also do not feel hungry. So with all that said I have had 2 successful days, headed into the weekend. Happy Birthday to Henry and Kelly! Remember you said only 1 case. Sarah you are doing awesome. It is so nice to see you every week and you are going to feel amazing come September. Pearla and Johnny thank you too!

PS. I did not write this to pat myself on the back for 2 good days, I wrote this to let people know that there is someone and many people who know what it is like to lose a little control and it is OK. It is embarrassing to slip up and face the scale (or let Pearla look and you just say tell me next week.) but we have all been there. The best thing is going back. It is great going in week after week and having the losses the true test is getting back on when you feel like you have failed. I am not disciplined enough yet to do it alone but I don't need to. That is what the PJ& K community is for. To the beginners it is a hard first couple of weeks and I faithfully looked on this page to see that others were blogging about.
