Baby Step

Last semester was a particularly difficult one for me in every aspect of life, and I gained some weight. Because this is a public forum, I'll just say that I gained some pounds and leave the web to speculate on how many that is. 

So now, I'm baby stepping back into good habits. I got up three days this week and went for a walk, and I really felt much better. I've been trying to get back to my better eating habits as well.

Today, after a long day of being in the sun and moving some boxes, I realized that I hadn't eaten all day, so I took myself out to dinner.

Then, I went to the grocery store to pick up some basics for the week. I was seriously tempted to get some ice cream. Because I had taken myself out to dinner, I knew that I had already used up my "weekend treat calorie points." I knew that I should not get the ice cream.

And then, I walked away from the treats.

I bought a package of strawberries and some green grapes instead.
