Back on Track

It's always hard to get back into a habit that has fallen by the wayside. I am trying to get back on track with my Medifast diet and it is proving to be a lot harder than I thought. "Special" occasions are popping up everywhere (convenient huh?!), "it's just a bite" comments are easy to justify, and the excuses just continue.

I am really trying to make it a priority though. I am trying to fight through the temptations. For instance, my hubby and I are going to a craft fair tonight (I am super excited!) and we could easily say, "Let's just stop somewhere on our way" but we are not. We have made the conscious effort to make dinner at home and then go to the craft fair. Another example is that this weekend is the first weekend where a local fire company holds its monthly pizza/wings night to raise money for the fire department. My hubby reminded me of this and wondered if we should get ready to order some of the delicious food on Saturday....I said, "No!" So we are going to put that off until at least next month.

It's the small steps that we need to overcome. We are also trying to build in more movement wherever we can. We did the EA Active last night and had a pretty good work out. I love how you can have a partner during the workout. We are hoping to do it tonight too.

The big obstacle we need to work on is Football Sunday's. My hubby roots for a team that doesn't get much play on the tube so we find ourselves having to go to a restaurant/bar to watch the game. I am hoping to limit that as much as possible, but we shall see how that turns out.

I have a few friends that have just started or working on restarting Medifast recently and I am wishing them luck in their endeavors. It is hard but I know we can all do it! I have faith.

What have you been doing lately to be healthy and stay in shape?
