Little Successes

Happy Friday!

Last night I walked, even when I did not feel like it, I walked.
I called my 4 year old son after work and asked him if he would go for a walk with Mommy. He, so preciously responded "YES! Mommy, I will walk with you, YOU BET!" What an awesome little cheerleader I have in him :) He truly inspired me to get off my lazy butt!

Fridays are always a challenge for me because there is something about Fridays that feels like a celebration is in order....not sure if it is because it is the end of the work week, the beginning of the weekend, or just another great reason to want to eat! Every Friday morning I used to swing through the drive-through window of the McDonald's that is so appropriately positioned one block from our house. After joining Weight Watchers (WW), I learned that my breakfast was 21 points! That is almost a full day of points. I am allowed 37 points per day (This is calculated based on age, weight, height, etc.) So, despite the fact that I am aware of how many points is in this McDonald's breakfast, for some reason, I am so tempted to indulge every Friday morning. This always seemed to get me off on the wrong foot for the rest of the weekend too. However, today I declared VICTORY and did not let that drive-through window tempt me....ok, well it DID tempt me, but I did not succomb to the temptation! YAY! This brings me to today's blog......I've noticed that when a person has such a big goal to accomplish - such as losing 145 pounds - it is easy to get overwhelmed with the big picture. I am learning to celebrate my "little" successes. Today I overcame the Friday temptation that I had made a habit out of for so many months....I must celebrate that success! (without food!)
