21 Days

Well today makes 21 days on my new journey and it’s been a hell of a week.  I know after this week that I can do this…  I had some things happen on Friday that set me off a little but I didn’t turn to emotional eating.  I just stuck through it.  I walked and walked and walked.  I did over three miles on Sunday.  I have no idea when the last time I walked that far was.  But I did it.

So before I get too deep into things here.  Let me tell you that I lost over 6 pounds this week and am now at 17.5 total pounds in. I mean come on, there are only 82.5 more to go.  LOL.  But I am going to get there.  I mean it just shows me that I am going to have weeks like I did last week where I only lost 1/2 a pound and while my body adjusts, that I just have to stay on the good path.  I am only 33 pounds from a new tattoo.

I got up tho morning and guess what I did?  Yes, you guessed it.  I walked.  I did over 2 miles.

Now I walked Friday and I didn’t walk as much because of my show at the casino and little by little I crushed my goal.  Saturday I had a wedding to play and DID NOT walk.  It took me awhile but I made the goal somewhere in the second set.  I find myself moving more and more when I know I have to on stage so it helps too.

Sunday, I was in pain.  My arthritis in my feet was killing me.  So in the early afternoon, I decided that It was time to walk and that I just had to suck it up.  And then i had my best walk yet.  I also went to Target to get a Magic Bullet to make my smoothies.  I broke the knock off one I bought so it was time to pay the piper.

So this week is heading in the right direction.  I am facing my demons one at a time and though it sucks sometimes I know I’ll have a much better summer both personally and on stage if I can keep it up.  And I will keep it up.  Can’t stop won’t stop.
