I'm a little bit sore tonight in my knees. I think it's from doing the bike. I took some ibuprofen to help with the inflammation. They are just sore not in pain. I'll be going to bed soon since I have an early appointment tomorrow. I'm not sure what I'll do tomorrow as far as working out. I'll have to see what the schedule allows. I'll do something though even if it's just 10 minutes worth of exercise. I didn't get to my kitchen inventory tonight but I will get it done before I go food shopping. There are a few things I'm going to make sure aren't on the list though like the Haagen Dazs and little chocolates. I'm out of both and will not get them again. I will replace them both with healthier snack choices. A suggestion that had at the WW meeting was to make things like that a treat that you go out for so you only get one serving or to get the WW desserts that are portioned out. Both of those are good suggestions.
I'm celebrating a little victory tonight. I haven't been to the 7-Eleven for a week or so now and I haven't eaten out at McDonald's (or anywhere else for that matter) for two weeks. That is a major achievement for me. I'm so proud of staying out of those places especially since I've been out so much and stopping at the 7-Eleven was such a habit. I could smell all the fast food places as I drove by them today and was tempted to stop but went home instead and made my lunch. All of these things are contributing to the success that I am having. It's slow but that's the way to do it. Losing a lot of weight or over doing the exercising doesn't help in the long run. I'm in this for the long haul and want to do it the right way this time.
I'm so excited and nervous about hearing the radio interview tomorrow. Talking in public about self injury is not easy but I really think it can help people. I'm hoping that just one person who needs it hears the interview and finds it helpful. I'm also feeling good about the fact that the author/professor that I interviewed with thought I did a good enough job to possibly do a TV interview with her. Even if that doesn't happen, just knowing it was considered is enough praise for me.
So many good things are happening for me right now. I think so much of it has to do with joining Weight Watchers. Just joining gave me such a boost. Doing well my first two weeks has just made it even better. I'm gaining confidence in who I am and not feeling terrible about myself. I'm trying now. I'm working at it. The progress is slow but there finally is progress. Even weeks where I hit a plateau, I hope I can see the work I am doing and the progress that is being made. It's not just in the numbers on the scale. We all need to remember that.
I think that's it for now. Hopefully I'll get to sleep easier tonight than I did last night. It took over an hour for me to fall asleep. Tonight I'm going to wait until I'm a bit more tired before I go to bed. I think the fact that my CPAP isn't set correctly doesn't help. I need to call Shellie about that too. The CPAP place called and didn't know exactly what needed to be done so I'll call Shellie and see where we need to go from here. She's out of the office tomorrow but I'll leave her a message.
I hope everyone had a great day today. Goodnight.
