Checking in.
It is hard to believe its been over a month now since I have blogged. I am getting into some sort of routine in regards to school and its progressing nicely. Only 10 more weeks of school left!!! The next 2 weeks are going to be a mad house at work. October 15th is just around the corner and it is worse than April 15th.
As far as living well and losing weight there has been NONE of that going on in this house. I have been living on hotdogs and frozen pizzas and a lot of other crap that I shouldn't even let in the house but I had to for convenience sake and for the grocery budget. It cost some extra $$$$ to eat good. Plain and simple and now with having to fill up my ride twice a week with gas the extra money is eating away at my budget and unfortunatley not my waist line.
I haven't weighed in about a month. I know I have gained atleast 20 pounds because my clothes do not fit. I am down to one pair of pants for work and a pair of jeans (sadly I had to buy them since I don't have my bigger clothes anymore). Its depressing. I made up my mind today and today was the last straw. I have got to do something. I have given up on running as well. I may possibly be walking the half marathon in November if I even go. School has me backed up against a wall and I just can't seem to get away.
The consequence of my poorly eating and non existant exercise life has taken a toll on me mentally, emotionally and physically. I am slowly feeling my depression coming back. I have to do something NOW. Now is the time. Right now. So tonight I went to the store and tried to get what "healthy stuff" I could. I really need to get focused on drinking all my water and making better choices and exercising even if its just getting outside for 30 minutes to walk the dog. That's easy right? It's not like I have do deal with the 95+ degree weather anymore. I have no excuse.
With all that said tomorrow I start. The only goal I am setting is to take it day by day. Making sure that I get my water, eat sensibly (this does not include a snicker bar for dinner and I am not eating fast food) I also set a goal for 30 minutes a day of some sort of activity. And the good Lord willing perhaps a trip to that place with all the exercise equipment and lockers and stuff... I think its called a GYM! So there you have it. I will weigh myself in the morning and report in with my BAN weight.
My motivation for today... You only fail if you quit trying and I do not quit!
