A Challenge for me

So tonight I am going to a concert and we will be going out for dinner first and I know I will have a few drinks.  My goal is to have no more then 4 drinks in total (not only for health reasons but cost as well....especially since my hubby wants me to keep track of how much I spend at concerts this year...just for curiosity sake.).  What I need to tell myself is it is just one meal and one evening.  I will not blow it.  I need to be able to have these times every once in a while as that is real life.  What will be challenging for me is to not fall off the wagon.  My goal is to get right back on track for tomorrow.  I will really look at the menu and make a choice that will be worth it for me and I will stop eating when i feel satisfied...not stuffed.

I am so happy as we have my treadmill now.  The last 2 mornings I have been up a bit early and have started that running program that I found on pinterest and have wanted to start it a long time ago.  I am going to go slow with it because of my knee.  Speaking of my knee I am going to start physio and active therapy for it.  I was told to keep exercising which is good since that is such an important thing for me when it comes to weight loss.  My knee was bothering me so much yesterday but I took some advil (twice) and wow what a difference it made.  I am so determined to make it feel so much better and my muscles to be stronger.  The big things too is to get all this extra weight off as I know it is not good for my joints at all.

The next 2 days will be spent meal prepping and cleaning the house.  I have a full set starting on Saturday so it will be nice to have the house clean for the boys.  I will probably get groceries tomorrow after I plan my weekly menu.  I am still having a hard time coming up with ideas for foods that follow the lean and fit concept but I know I will manage.  They wanted us to cut down to 1 serving of fruit a day but I am pretty sure I have 2 and I just can't seem to get it down below that.  I don't think that 2 is that bad.

Friday will be my official 1 week on the lean and fit program so I will do a WI on that day.  I always like when the number on the scale goes down but I need to focus more on how I am feeling and how I am eating and I have to say I feel pretty good and i know that I am eating way better then I had been.

I will be back friday with an update on what the scale says and if I managed to get right back to healthy eating after my night tonight :)
