slacking!!
I have been working crazy hours and pushing to get one book published while writing another one, participating more heavily in my community awareness and cause (domestic violence) but in the mean time... I am soooooooooo slacking taking care of ME. My body and peace of mind.
My eating is good, Ive got that down to a habitual science. even if i wanted to theres NOTHING in this house to really eat un healthy let alone binge. for the most part, the only time im tempted is when im working the late late hours and feel the need for chocolate or crunch. i do keep dark chocolate kisses around for this purpose and keep it at three kisses.
munchies... popcorn. not microwave but the real stuff. i use olive oil and "no salt", and thats that. i love popcorn and considering how healthy my diet truly is... i have no guilt on the few nights a week i eat one or the other.
Where im slacking is on the treadmill. I havent been on it in FIVE days.... aggghhh!!!!!! Its carazy because I have to walk past it everytime i leave my office to go anywhere else in the house! also crazy that Id do this to myself when ive been on a 5 day a week routine for three months now. feeling awesome, legs are seriously impressing me,I feel amazing, so why?Because im wrapped up in work, low energy level, lacking in the "push", the drive. i love how i feel everytime i get off that thing, its the getting ON where im killin it here.
ive not been participating on here as needed, keeping myself accountable,keeping logs, gathering the active mutual supportive with others. im on this computer sometimes twelve hours a day if not more, depending on work and what the weight of work is for the day.
Im wondering if anyone here tweets? i signed up on it this morning and thinking this could help. Between here and other health sites I found maybe it would be away of keeping myself in focus and nudged, reminding me i need to break away and do what i need to do for me. a way of follow others with interactive participation but not massively time consuming and major distractions from work. It is SO EASY to get tied up on sites and lose time on these web sites not work related
Heres my newest plan....
(change starts with a plan....:)
.
in the mornings im going to try very hard to get in the routine BEFORE i sit in the desk chair checking E mails and start working.... get ON THE TREADMILL and do my 3!!! before i check the E mails.... get on this site and do what i need to do to keep track of myself and interact with others.... maybe make some friends along the way...:)

At night after i cook, instead of eating supper right here facing this screen (i use that time to do facebook and "play" for a couple hours.) eat in the kitchen, do my clean up and get on that treadmill for a casual enjoyable walk. The mornings i need tokeep on top of my speed and jog, thats where my arobic and real calorie burn is. Thats whats burning me out is those three miles there. they can be so grueling somedays. other days i kick ass and feel like i could conquor the world,I get addicted to the endorphin rush. i love it! but the other days when that doesnt happen.... it feels like its alllllllll uphill and taking a day instead of 45 min. to hour depending on how im feeling.
Thats the plan.... starting tonight after supper. i officially have a date with the treadmill.
I put an open invitation to anyone who wants to add me. I even think the tweet thing is a good idea and maybe even facebook. IM soooo serious about reaching out for constant relentless reminders and interacting with people. I have NO LIFE outside of work, not many friends left (just went through massive life /relationship changes) My work is my obsession/passion but I NEED to dual my focus and get back to living life again.
My goal is by spring (May) to be down about 40-50 pounds. I want to be able to wear my cute clothes again, feel comfy wearing sleevless tops and shorts. I have a full closet of clothes i traveled 1200 miles from Texas back here. I LEFT my microwave and bags and bags of clothes that actually currently fit.I simply refuse to stay in them so I didnt bring them. My winter attire is scarce to say the least.....
Happy holidays all....:)
