Several times today I've pondered how to articulate this post. Why? Because I had two beers last night. Hear me out....
It was a choice...a conscious, thought out choice and one Bill and I made together. It wasn't a beer of boredom, it wasn't a beer because of stress, it wasn't a beer 'just because'...it was a beer I decided I wanted. This week has been worthwhile and I plan to continue my 30-days in light of last night's choice. I knew when we started this that I couldn't describe one finish line or "goal" of this challenge because I knew I'd reap several rewards along the way. This week - case in point.
It feels good to take control of what I put in my body...something I haven't been doing very well for the last few months. I took control this week and made many good choices - fewer condiments (I'm a condiment freak), even more water (I'm up to at least 2 liters a day), no soda, no splenda, and no junk food. Oh yeah, and Monday - Thursday...no alcohol. So when it came to Friday, I made a choice and still feel in control.
As for the weekend - so far so good; healthy choices ensue and I plan to improve upon them even more next week. The worst of this is...perhaps I'm not the extremist I thought I was in the beginning and that's okay by me; I'm human and happy....
