Traveling Success

I’m feeling terrific right now because I just returned from a business trip to Toronto…and I had lost another pound!! I made a conscious effort to eat well and in moderation this time, unlike my wild abandon of two weeks ago. It paid off, in my opinion. I am now 11 pounds from “Normal” on the BMI chart. Wow. Hope I can keep it up.
I want to share another thought I’ve had recently. I saw a good friend on Sunday evening who has lost her own significant amount of weight. She looks great. We were at a pizza restaurant and she said she was “cheating.” Steve told her that she couldn’t look at it that way. He is SOO right! If you look at eating pizza (or cookie dough or whatever your weakness is) as “cheating,” you are going to generate feelings of guilt and inadequacy, which are not exactly wonderful tools to aid in fitness and weight loss, in my opinion. Instead, if you really want pizza (or cookie dough), just eat a small portion of it to satisfy your craving…and don’t call it cheating!
Sprinting is exhausting.
