I made a choice in January 2010 to improve my health. I ended up losing 80 pounds in ten months. I've been pretty good about my eating choices. But I have slipped from time to time. And those slips have led me to gain a few pounds back.
Those pounds that I gained, helped me make a decision over the weekend. I decided until I lose the extra weight, I will be give up eating some items. Those items are cookies and ice cream. Besides giving those up, I also need to watch what I eat. I need to stop overeating at meals and snacking. Those calories do add up and pack on the pounds.
I want to lose the weight before the holidays start. When it is the holiday time, I need to really watch my intake. I know last year between Thanksgiving and Christmas, I gained a couple of pounds. So many desserts and extra plates of food. I worked hard and lost most of them at the start of the year. I don't want to do that this year. I would like to maintain a healthy weight through the rest of the year.
I love cookies and ice cream. I gave them up for almost an entire year back in 2010. I think I should be able to go without for a month or two. The new journey begins and I know I can achieve my short term goal.

My favorite quote by Jeff Fisher - head coach of the TN Titans, "Discipline is doing what you really don't want to do so you can do what you really want to do." Diet is the hardest part of my training because I am a total sugar addict. But, it makes me feel horrible. I am going to cut all refined sugars out for awhile. I will feel better! Good luck!
Thanks Jessica!
