This is a day that I can prove to myself that when my routine gets upended, I can still do what I plan to do.

I was successful in doing quite a bit of cooking yesterday to set me up this week and into next week – the freezer is a good friend! So I need to take advantage of that. But I did have a commitment this morning that means I am doing my routine at a different time and need to fit a workout in tonight – at one point I was all over that but working out in the evening post work is a. chore. But action encourages action so I will do it (again the benefit of checking in daily on this site – it sets me on a path of being conscious of my goals rather than considering them on my free time)

Tonight is a workout/dry night. Also have a turkey zucchini skillet mix prepared for dinner.

Another note from the book I am reading – happiness can only be attained when we manage to avoid unnecessary suffering. My unnecessary suffering is procrastination- not from laziness but I think from being overwhelmed by other work. But it does result in consequences that are worse than if I had just addressed the issue when it first arose – ie weight. So I will continue to focus on and develop my self discipline- I know I have it – I have a professional designation and completed a marathon as proof- but I need to find it again and use it to drive this weight loss once and for all. This blog is a part of developing the self discipline to follow through this time and to avoid the ‘unnecessary suffering ‘ of being this weight or higher next summer.
