I was thrilled at TOPS last night to step on the scale and show an 11.6 loss for the past two weeks. I was, indeed, the Biggest Loser, as I expected I would be. And, a nice surprise for me -- I ended the year 1.6 lbs. less than I began (at least at TOPS).
I do not plan on going up and down the same 10 lbs. in 2017, but I did make a bad choice after the meeting last night. Instead of going home and eating food I had on hand or going to the supermarket and buying something to cook, I took the easy way out and went through the drive-thru at Bojangles. I ate four fried chicken wings, a serving of mashed potatoes and gravy, cole slaw and a biscuit with honey on it plus a Diet Coke. It tasted really good, but I noticed a difference in how I felt when I got up this morning. I could feel the excess sodium.
I won't be doing that again, and although I may not log it here, I do plan to start logging everything I eat and making note of how I feel, both at the time I choose to eat it and later, how it has affected me, if at all.
I will be spending New Year's Eve quietly at home reviewing this past year and setting some small goals to help me start the New Year out right. I sincerely want 2017 to be a great one -- not just for me -- but for y'all too!
