The past two days I have felt like this goal of mine ( to lose 100+lb) is a HUGE mountain. I am just at the beginning of a long journey. I know I probably have at least a year until I am close to my goal. I'm not yet exercising other that my daily activities. When it comes to exercise, starting is the hardest part for me. I have a tendency to feel like I have failed practically from the gate. Like if I feel like I'm not losing fast enough, I chew myself out for not doing it *right.* Silly, I know.
However, I AM patting myself on the back for the things I gave up on January 10th, such as....
1. The high fat/high calorie drinks from Starbucks that I used to consume almost daily.
2. Sugar in my coffee or tea at home.
3. Junkfood....and this means there is none in my house.
4. Fried foods.
5. My at least 6-pack a day regular coca-cola habit.
I know I'm not getting enough water at this point. I like water, really. I just don't think about it until I'm thirsty. How much do you all try and drink per day?
Also, any crumbs of wisdom you care to sprinkle my way would be most appreciated.
