You see, in my mind, I knew I was going to ban myself from drinking sodas including the diet kind. I read somewhere that even the diet drinks aren't good for diabetics. So in my mind, I better get in what I will not be able to have in 2017.
Where in the world did I and others get a mindset like that? It's like eat everything on your plate or you will starve kind of thinking.
WELL....that caused my sugars to be 538 Sunday morning and my weight went up to 283 this week. That's a 5 pound weight gain for this week. Honestly this is quite disappointing.
BUT this isn't causing me to get angry at myself and belittle what I did. I recognized what I did and learned that I can't have this kind of thinking. I have to move along and realize that each decision I am making for my health is a life goal decision. It is to make me healthier and live longer and enjoy life even more.
You see, this spring when the snow has melted, I plan on going on hikes again. I miss them. I absolutely love hiking and haven't done that in almost 2 years now.
I'm going to post a picture of me this morning as the first picture of the new year at work. I'm thinking that I'll post a picture of me once a month to show my progress.
Stop thinking that your goals are just resolutions! Make them life changing goals that you will keep forever and know that they will improve your life.
