About commitment and hopping on the water wagon
Since my birthday last month, I have gone off the wagon. I have given in to the temptations presented to me when I go out with my friends and the various Leo birthday parties. It has been hilarious. I only weighed myself once this whole month, and I still lost two pounds despite my best efforts to gain. I know how easy it is for people with weight problems to cut themselves some slack, and then let it turn into a slippery slope back to fat. Here’s where I turn positive and celebrate my accomplishments:
The one thing that has remained constant is green juice. I still make green lemonade almost every morning, and since Gwen comes over to make it with me, we’ve added cucumber and oranges (sometimes) to the mix. It’s an AMAZING start to my day and I doubt I’ll ever stop making fresh juice. The Omega 8004 is a brilliant machine.
I have stayed away from sodas and most sugary foods. When we do go out, I usually order a salad or some kind of meal high in fruits/veggies. My acanthosis nigricans is gone except for the tiniest spot on my chest, and my elbows have remained smooth. My breakouts are minimal, and my allergic reactions are practically nonexistent.
I still haven’t made going to the gym a priority, but I bought roller skates and am having a blast relearning. I plan on going to the rink (at least) every weekend, and I want to find a place where I can skate with minimal battle damage when I fall. lol
