it actually feels good to eat right and exercise

Posted by: billie In: blogging helps

That’s right, i said it. I am so happy to be eating right and exercising every day!

I’m back in the right mindset. Putting my health first.

Got up this morning and struggled thru another cardio dvd, but its all good. Knowing i got up and worked out really makes me feel better for the rest of the day. It’s like i have a whole new demeanor. I’m carrying myself different. I have only lost 3 lbs in the last 6 days but i feel like a different person.

I know this all sounds like lip service but its true. Today i simply feel healthier.

One thing hasn’t changed for me tho: I can only focus on one thing at a time. I’m focusing on my health and my classwork is going downhill. I have to find a way to balance my life.

The best thing about this new mindset is my new-found ability to pass up a drive thru. Tonight i had to stay late in the metals studio and Philip and Hannah fixed themselves something for dinner. Philip told me to ‘pick myself up something on my way home.’ Those words are a little dangerous. I thought about going for a panera panini, a steak n shake grilled chicken or a dq chicken wrap all in turn as i passed them by. I considered slipping thru for a diet coke to get me home. In the end i decided to drink my bottle of water and fix myself some pasta pomodoro once i got home. Yay me!

yey!! you are doing so good! I have the same problem with focusing on one thing at a time. since I’ve started losing weight…other things in my life have taken a back burner. I also need to try to juggle everything along with working out and eating right. It will take practice :)
