Not Picking Myself To Death

So how did I fare this past week. I gained back the pound I lost initially but I've decided that I'm not going to be depressed. The way I look at it is that this is a never ending quest to make better choices for myself. There's no easy path and I have the choice to choose healthy actions a hundred times a day. I believe that it's cumulative. So maybe the progress is slow but I haven't entirely let myself down:

• I've been making lower fat food in general so that there's more healthy foods on hand to choose from.

• I did manage to drink less.

• I did get some exercise (not much, but why pick myself to death over it?)

• I've been getting more of my house into a state of order. The process is slow and tedious but it's looking generally more well cared for here in the house than it was before.

• I've been getting a little more sleep.

• I only ate sweets once this week. (Down from, oh, five!!!)

• I've been eating less cheese and bread, more vegetables.

This week: more exercise. Try for at least 20 minutes a day. (Today I walked the dog). No snacking after 6pm. More cooking food ahead of time.

I am going to ride my bike to work today in the rain so I'd better eat some soup and get ready.
