I have heard that you shouldn't weigh yourself every day. Of course, I cannot wait a whole week to jump on the scale. I am of the opinion that if what I am doing isn't working, then I don't want to wait seven days to find this out. So there I was. On the scale this morning. With surprising result. Three Days down and I've lost 1.8 pounds. Maybe there really is something to this accountability stuff.
And now for something a little bit
You'll be happy to know that I tried something new. AND... It didn't kill me. I asked Hubs to grab some vegetables from the grocery store on his way home. He came home with a bag of frozen brussel sprouts. I have absolutely no memory of EVER eating a single brussel sprout in my life. Anyway, I steamed the brussel sprouts, added a little spray butter and salt and ended up liking them. They tasted a little like broccoli to me.
The moral of this story is that change can be good. Not all new things are scary. And I read in a book just last night
"Eighty percent of any achievement is making the decision to achieve."This was a fiction story and I am not trying to be literal or scientific, it was just a little inspiring.
This morning got away from me. Between watching a friend's 8 month old, homeschooling my three boys, waking up late, and the puppy that wanted in and then out and then in and then out... yeah. It was 10:00 before I even had a chance to think about eating breakfast. I just switched it up and ate my yogurt for breakfast instead of lunch. Hopefully this won't mess up my day.
What healthy choice is scary for you?
I LOVE brussels sprouts. I steam some up and put them on top of pasta with a little not-butter, some parm cheese, and salt/pepper. It's one of my fave and most filling meals. Baby steps! And proud of you.
