2 things...

A few big things happened this week...

1. I have gone 16 days without a Diet Coke. If you know me, you know that is a HUGE deal for me! I am so proud of myself.

2. Last night, I was alone for dinner. Normally I would have just ordered something or picked up drive-thru. But *drumroll please* I stopped at the store and bought organic, grass-fed beef. Now, if my father were still alive - he would have asked if I cooked/ate it. the big jerk :) And yes, I did! I put that delicious organic, grass-fed beef on a 100% whole wheat tortilla and then topped it with cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo, light sour cream, and avocado! Do you know what's even better than the fact that I made the decision to cook dinner? I felt so good about it! I didn't feel gross after fast food because I didn't eat the fast food! Yay for me! It's all about the baby steps people :)

3. I went to the doctor for a physical this morning. Now, I haven't really been good about this. After I got too old for the pediatrician, I just never got around to going. If I got sick, I just went to urgent care. I avoided it because I knew how the conversation was going to go and I didn't want to hear it. I know that I'm overweight. I know I need to stop. But until I really made the decision to change, that conversation wasn't going to have any affect on me. But I was finally ready to hear it. My blood pressure and EKG were normal (yay!) and I have an appointment to go over my bloodwork next week (fingers crossed). 

I'm really proud of myself :) And I didn't even reward myself with food and that makes me even more proud.

Gotta go cook a healthy dinner!

Also I just checked my math...that was 3 things. So sorry for the lie :-/
