Ok, so yesterday I left work feeling resolve to actually make changes in my life. Then I get back to my boyfriend's place (where I spent 80% of my time and all my cooking gets done there) and it's a mess, the puppy (part of my engagement present) is unfortunately driving me crazy and I completely lose my motivation. Just like that. We had the worst dinner you could have (pasta, rice, sugary fruit juice) and bought cheesecake we didn't even eat, so now it's sitting in the freezer. I am totally falling subject to the demon
of procrastination (don't know if I spelled that right). I keep telling myself, "I'll REALLY start tomorrow!" However, good thing to look forward to today, I found a walking partner at my job, so instead of sitting around staring at my computer screen during lunch (it's not like I don't stare at it enough working) I'll be getting in a 30 minute walk 4 times a week! That's 2 extra hours of exercise a week! So, I am trying to start positive, not get over whelmed by what I am going to accomplish, but just taking it one step at a time. I'm glad I have a place to come where I can just write out my thoughts and get feed back from people who have been there and are there now. Things will get better if I make them better!
