When I begin a journey of change, my 'old' self throws a complete tantrum. My mind uses everything from stress, exhaustion, pity, fear, coupons, guilt and cravings to pull me back into my poor daily eating habits. Before I know it, the regime is back in charge and I am to be found at my favorite Mexican eatery downing chips and queso while sloshing salsa all over myself.
I have met my goal of moving more today. I was eating less until my 'after school snack' which turned into my dinner. The witching hour for me is from 3:00 - 7:00. If I could just be unconscious during those hours, I'd be at my perfect weight!
My goals for tomorrow: Move more, eat less, plan for afternoon hunger and devise a counterattack for the me that is not quite ready for change.
Once you set your mind to being healthier, which it sounds like you have, it is very empowering to make smart choices. At 40, I look better and am healthier than I ever was. Exercising is addictive too. What's your motivation? Mine is sheer vanity. :-) - Jamie
ReplyDeleteThanks Jamie! I would like to eventually move to vanity, but at this point health and wearing clothes in a normal store would be fantastic. Do you remember shopping at Oh So Low? I thought about that last time I was in Pensacola.
