Since updating my other blog I've noticed that I've felt a greater sense of responsibility towards losing weight. It's Monday so I figure I need to set some goals for this week.
1. Stay away from sweets and sugar! I would love to totally eliminate white sugar from my diet. It really is so bad for you, but it is everywhere and in everything. I tried a new recipe using succanat and the cookies turned out really good. I've also been using honey in place of the white stuff when I cook. The hardest part is the drinks. I love sweet tea, and drink on Sonic's menu and coke. Since I'm allergic to artificial sweetners this means I have to find my own alternatives at home or do without.
2. Work out 5 times this week. I've been consistent with 4 workouts so now it's time to step up my game a bit. I worked out this morning with my friend Melanie. That was a good accountability b/c I did not want to get out of bed. Tomorrow I'm planning a longer run to keep preparing for the peachtree.
3. Stop eating by 8PM. I've heard that this one practice alone will help with weightloss so I'm working hard at keeping that one again this week.
4. Water, water and more water.
