Quick note to my body:
You thought you hit the jackpot this morning when I was preparing eggs and toast for my daughters didn’t you? Well, I won’t lie, it wasn’t easy to resist you, but you’ll thank me for the high fiber oatmeal later! :) We have a lot to do today, so you have to be ready!
Well here it is, the first official day of my journey to a healthier life. I think the biggest struggle for me is going to be resisting the temptation. When something has been a habit of yours for so many years, it’s hard to over come. So, how do I plan on doing this?
Well.. I’ve read Dr. Atkins, made more than enough of the Cabbage Soup Diet, tried the Skinny Pill, Drank my colon away with Herbal Life and Slim Fast and even joined Weight Watchers. None of these worked for me in the long term.. maybe I just wasn’t as dedicated. What did work for me at one point was Counting Calories. I lost 20 lbs and felt AMAZING, but I chose not to stick to it, when I went out of state on a conference and was showered with some of the most amazing Buffets this small town country girl has ever seen.
So, yes, I’m back to counting calories. How am I going to make it work for me? I have several theories.
1. They say (ok the flylady.com says) it takes 27 days to form a habit. So, if I spend the next 27 days creating a healthy habit, maybe it will stick.
2. Resist Temptation - No matter how hard, I will do my best to make healthier decisions.
3. Log into Fitday religiously. Although the website is severely pissing me off… I can’t let that hold me back.
4. EXCERSISE - Whether it’s a cardio DVD or going for a walk, stop making excuses and just do it. Cleaning house is a GREAT start.
5. I hate even numbers so I have to have a number 5. I think i’ll do the old fashion.. looking at myself in the mirror everyday and saying something positive. My daughters preschool class does this, maybe I should too!
I’m also going to create small daily goals.
Today my goal is to do 30 minutes of Cardio.
Oh yes, and I weighed myself, I weigh 191.7 yesterday it was 192.4
