First Session of 2016

Blah. What a terrible month for eating. Such a bummer.

But, I'm ready to take on the next Six Week Session. This will welcome in the new year, which I plan to work hard to make a great year.

Clearly I don't do well with not logging my food each day. I need the accountability so I'm going back to doing that.

And....I'm armed with the best new tool!! I've finally got a Vitamix!! Wahooo!!!

I'm excited to highlight this awesome tool for my next session. I plan to use it at least once a day (though I know it will likely be used more often).  So, look for ways that I experiment with this lovely machine.

This morning I enjoyed a simple, tasty smoothie. I love the smooth, creamy texture that it creates. I love, even more, how the self cleaning feature. Boy, do I love anything that cleans itself easily.

So, I guess I'm marking Sunday as my starting day. I may as well. I keep putting it off and messing up. In fact, I've already eaten off the 6-week plan this morning, but I'm still counting today as my start day.

I won't be rewarding myself with tools this time around. I've got the best tool and need to keep the spending down.  I do, however, want to reward myself with some time alone. I've got a lot of learning, studying, and reflecting to do in the coming weeks. I need some time alone to do it. So, even though I'm starting off track for the week, I'm determined to stay strong and work for my Sunday afternoon alone treat. 

I'm not even stepping on the scale until I get some momentum built up. I know I'm going to be completely depressed with the numbers I see on the scale. I don't need to do that to myself.  So far, I'm still fitting in the next size down clothes I moved into from the last session. That's good enough for me to know I can keep going and stay motivated to do well. Hopefully I'll see another new size and decade after this session is completed.
