Still rolling ...Despite my not as consistent posts, my eating is definitely a lot better. Although, I am eager to have a little treat come Wednesday. It's the last three days of National Novel Writing Month, and I have 19,000 words to hit my 50,000 word goal. The good news is that my chronic infection is practically gone, and it is very likely I'll be in the gym come Dec. 1st. Everything is coming together.

This is not a good start regarding my blogging for this mission, but oddly just being on "the mission" has kept my eating in check. I had planned to make Wednesdays my "free days," I was thinking I would wait until the second week of the mission to start that. UM! My brain heard Wednesday is the free day, and I had some treats and by treats I mean a Snickers Bar and two extra slices of Otter Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16415365724794154748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4354910772057154809.post-47931260989963178912011-11-22T21:20:00.000-08:002011-11-22T21:36:02.650-08:00Day 2: Five Year Anniversary MissionI have to admit I am a bit ill-prepared for this mission. I'm having outfit issues. I only have sweat pants to work out in, but I'm sure I have a least a pair of shorts around here somewhere to take a photo. But, I will say that starting this mission has already made a difference in my diet. I've been watching my glycemic index and consumption of simple carbs as instructed to by my doctor.

She came up with the great idea of doing a five-year anniversary shred. It's crazy.

My thank you notes site has been having 6,000 visitors a day lately, and I'm partnering with a company that will allow people to send out thank you notes from their computers. It's pretty neat, but time-consuming. Plus, I just signed up for NaMoWriMo, the write a novel in a month challenge. So my time is a bit limited.

Congratulations everybody for doing such a great job.I'm so excited I stayed on plan this week despite things getting pretty busy. I ate 25.5 points today, and I wrapped up the week with 14 flex points to spare. So glad that the movie theater popcorn didn't set me back.

We all make goals every week (one spiritual, one health, one charity, and then other life goals) and we commit to completing it by the next week. We bring proof and brainstorm how to help us each reach our full potential and bring in a motivational reading.

Even though I may weigh just a fraction of a pound lighter than I did last week, I felt skinny today. When I'm eating right and taking care of myself I spend a few extra seconds on my makeup. I walk a little bouncier. I smile even more. Overall, I feel happy.
