ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER BATTLE

I skipped the gym today and shopped up a storm at the Mall here in Minnesota. I am freezing here. It was 5 degrees today, I have windburn on my hands and what might be a mild frost bite.
Checked my blood pressure today and it was perfect, having it high the other day scared the crap out of me.
I am sodium sensitive and have to stop all processed foods, even diet meals and bars. I think this is a good thing and can only help me lose weight and be healthier in the long run.

I have a few days left until I head back home to NYC and the sales here in the Midwest just lured me in today. The good thing was that I walked the mall for about 3 hours. FUN FUN FUN.
I had an ok food day today, should not have had the soft serve, but am accountable for my actions. I skipped a full lunch because of it and know that it was not a good choice.

I am within my calories, even had a little less, but it is the junk I am trying to get rid of. I want to eventually be eating unprocessed fresh foods every meal, every day.
One step at a time. I know I can do this. Hope tomorrow will be even better.
I will make sure it is.

Breakfast:
Oatmeal with PB2 and Cranberries
Coffee with Fat Free Half and Half

Lunch
Coffee
Soft Serve
1 med Banana, 1 med Nectarine and a handful of Blueberries

Dinner
Meat Loaf
Asparagus
1 small serving plain pasta

I am losing weight, very slowly, but still losing.
Weighing myself everyday might not always be a good idea, and I think I might stop, but being here visiting my husbands family and being at the mercy of junk food...well, I need motivation with the scale on a daily basis.
Will not be weighing in every day when I get back to NYC on Monday night.

Tomorrow we are off to the lake house to visit his sister...should be fun, but I am taking my oatmeal with me. This way I can at least be sure that breakfast will be healthy every day. Might take some extra fruit with me for snacks. I know they will have fruit, but want to be prepared.

I AM THE MASTER OF MY OWN DESTINY!
