Returning: Goals of the Week!

After some success with my step last week to eliminate the option of grabbing breakfast from anywhere but my cupboard, I decided to crank it up a notch and challenge myself to not eat out at all until Friday evening.

I think this is a big trick to my losing weight. If I'm eating foods made at home, I'm eating healthy and pre-portioned meals.  If I'm eating out, I'm eating whatever looks good to me in restaurant-size portions.  There's a big difference.

I"m actually feeling pretty motivated starting this week. I made meals yesterday, despite my horrendous caffeine-deprivation headache (which is completely gone today, BTW).  I ate my first two today.  They weren't insanely delicious, but they were okay.

I'm completely caffeine free right now, and that's also okay.  I wish I liked teas so I could have something to drink besides water.  But water is what's best for me anyway, so it's okay. (Unless you have a suggestion of something I could drink that doesn't contain harmful chemicals or too many calories like juices.)

My second goal for the week is to continue running, with three run/walking (or runking, as my friend Meghan has dubbed it) sessions this week.

Take a minute and think about your goals for the week. If you want, share them in the comments section below and we'll try and keep each other accountable!
