We had professional development today. With professional development comes snacks. The holidays are getting closer, the pressure is on, and everywhere I look I see some degree of challenge. Despite all of this, I am still on plan, and here are some great choices I made today:

1. I drank lots of water.
2. I snacked on halos instead of candy.
3. I ordered a salad and got my salad dressing on the side.
4. I packed a healthy lunch for tomorrow.
5. I prepped vegetables to have on hand in the refrigerator.
6. I remembered to breathe when I was feeling stressed.
7. I monitored internal hunger cues today.
8. I signed up for a spin class for tomorrow.
9. I selected fruit instead of cake for dessert.
10. I accepted a complement about my weight loss.

A word of advice, we don’t always have to live in the struggle. We can take a break from all that and just count all the good decisions we make along the way. Sometimes it’s just nice to acknowledge the good stuff.
