Hand-to-hand combat with self

Today’s skirmish was a victory.

After a good-sized lunch I successfully resisted the frozen yogurt/ice cream/other sweet item temptation and walked.

And walked and walked. I will hit 10,000 steps again today.

My brain was noisy. I kept walking.

What did I learn? I learned about things within my control (a seemingly irresistible urge for something sugary and the purchase/consumption of same).

And I exercised control over my thoughts and actions.

Meanwhile, the thing that is outside my control (how and when my body sheds that roll of fat around my waist) did not haunt me.

Every tiny victory builds strength. Get momentum and keep it.
