Plugging along!
I’m having another great day! Amazing how simple changes like getting the right foods and just moving the body can have such profound effects on mood & overall well being. I love it!

Last night I had what I consider another “food victory”. We went to the bowling alley to watch some friends of ours bowl in their league final, so of course I ate a very healthy & filling dinner before we headed out. I had accounted for a glass of red wine in my daily calorie tracker, and figured I’d have a glass of the cheap stuff at the alley. When we got there, someone had brought homemade sugar cookies and was sharing with all the teams. Well, I might have turned down girl scout cookies yesterday, but homemade? Worth it. :) So instead of having a glass of wine, I had one cookie - yep, ONE! And I didn’t even want another one, because I savored the one I had and enjoyed every little crumb of it immensely. When we got home I updated my food tracker and was still within all of my targets for the day. I finished at 1350 calories which is right in the middle of my target range. AND I managed to keep my sodium under my target amount for the first time in about a week.

When we make the right choices it’s so easy to see why we should be doing this. It feels great! I know it won’t always be so effortless, but just let me bask in the moment right now while I feel like I could stay on this train forever! If it were always this easy, we’d be living in world full of size 4 women. :) But I know what makes it work for me - my buddies who are here through thick & thin!! So THANKS!!

I loved your blog Kari. You are in a good place right now and not only should you savor it, but you need to milk it for all it’s worth! Afterall, on this journey, we seem to have so few of these empowering moments! I am very thrilled for you! May March be the month we conquer it all, and may we be as strong as we were at the beginning of the year!
