Doin' it the right way

Yesterday, Cean and I went to Joey and Naries for dinner. It was a nice time. Joey and Narie know that I am eating healthier and really taking good care of my body. When Narie offered juice for the drink, I asked for water. That was no problem. When we finished our dinner, she was getting the dessert ready for all of us. I let her know that I'd like to pass but that it looked really yummy (and it did!). Anyway, I was so glad for the understanding on their part. I was glad that I was able to graciously decline. I felt good about doing that and am happy about it today. I have not always been very good at doing that. Before I would just take it because it was offered or it just looked too good to pass up. Anyway, that's my story for yesterday.
I decided when we first started this competition that I would focus on eating correctly before adding any type of physical activity for the first month. In the past, I have always had a very hard time with eating correctly. I either eat too much of the wrong food, or I eat way too little of any type of food. I have been really focusing on learning what makes me feel good and what foods burn the fat. So, I have had a pretty fun time with discovering new things that I can make and enjoying it. There have been a few things that I have discovered that I DO NOT want to eat again. But now I'm eating things that are so delicious to me. It's been really refreshing to me to be able to sit down to a nice meal and eat all of it and enjoy every single bite. I used to think that I had to eat as little as possible to lose weight, but now I'm learning that I need to fuel my body so that I can lose weight and still be very healthy. I feel healthier now than I have in a long, long time. I have learned all of my new knowledge from Mom. Thank you so much, Mom for taking the time to teach me and help me to know what's best for me.
It's just about been a month since we started, so now I'm going to incorporate some physical activity into my routine. I feel good about doing that now. I have naturally been more physically active just because of feeling so much better. I WANT to move. I feel like I CAN move. So many times before I have gone about losing weight the wrong way, but now I am going about it the right way. I eat 5 or 6 meals a day and I'm always feeding my body what it needs to succeed. The past couple weeks, I haven't had a great weigh in, but I plan to have a good weigh in tomorrow. I know that there are tough weeks and great weeks. I'm committed to pushing through each week--even when it's hard.
I like reading what other people put on their blogs. I think it's great that there are so many of us that are really striving to be healthy. I'm glad for the support hat I feel, and I hope that everyone else feels my support for them. We are all on the right road to being more healthy.
Here's to continuing on.
