Day 82 - Simple Pleasures

So, yes. I did buy new jeans that were 2 sizes smaller. Victory! Right? Well, it didn't feel very satisfying. It felt more like a necessity. (And common courtesy when going out in public!!) And the baggy jeans were driving me nuts!

I have quit so many things and people for that matter, I needed to find a small thrill in SOMETHING!!

I just hit a milestone after passing the 20 pound loss, so I needed to treat myself to something other than jeans. 

Here it is.

It made me happy!! :)

I had quit drinking coffee, mostly because I was drinking a pot a day, sometimes more, and into the evening hours. Now I can have one cup in the morning and call it good!

Day 19 - Made some GOOD changes!!

My Sunday Activities

One of the first things I did was go shopping for lots of fresh food! I threw out a bag of sugar and anything else in the cupboards, fridge & freezer that was high in calories, sugar or sodium. Yeah, kids!! How do you like me now?? They will SO thank me in the long run!! Right??

Then on to other changes...

It may not look like much of a change at first glance. But when I woke up yesterday morning, a 32" screen TV was where the flowers now are. In my bedroom, straight shot from my cozy bed. 

NO MORE-late night-TV watching-eating munchies-rolling over to go to sleep-only to wake up 

more tired than I was the night before-DAYS. 

It had to go. And I didn't relocate it to another room! It is OUT OF MY HOUSE FOR GOOD! 

(UGH, what an ugly dresser! I need a new one! You don't really look at something when there's a TV on it!)

Then I gave myself a test. I didn't drink coffee yesterday... I didn't have a headache either!! So, no more coffee! **I can't believe it either** A big part of the reason though is the creamer. I go through black coffee phases, but for the most part, my coffee involves creamer. So a third of my morning calories was dedicated to it. I could be using those calories for so much healthier things!

So I threw this away too!

Let's have a moment of silence.
