Starting Out On The Wrong Foot...With Good Intentions...

It was a terrible, terrible food day! I knew it was going to be disastrous with every bite I took, but I did it anyway. 12 ounces of water today......too many calories to even comprehend......

It started out as a good day. The scale was down, I was feeling good and actually looking forward to a walk on the treadmill...It should have been a great starting day...then I got in the freezer to get out some juice for the kids and realized that the ENTIRE freezer was not frozen...everything was completely thawed and ruined...Anger, Stress, Anxiety...not good emotions for an emotional eater to be feeling...After watching all the grocery money end up in the garbage, the overwhelming feelings hit like a lead balloon and that was it. The day turned into a 'convenience day' rather than being a 'healthy day'. It was just easier to feed the husband and kids (and myself) Dairy Queen. And the humongous root beer float I had was delicious when I ate it, but added to all the other crap I ate today, I am completely miserable right now. Why do I do this to myself?

Ok, breathe...we got the new frig in, got new groceries. Today was a horrible day, but tomorrow will be better. Its in the past and that can't be changed, so lets focus on the future here.
Besides, the day wasn't a complete waste...I did manage to get a mile in on the treadmill...and helping move a broken frig out and a new frig in, along with all the bending and lifting that comes with grocery shopping has to count for something, right?

Tomorrow will be better

Tomorrow's Goals:
1) WATER, WATER, WATER (gotta get all this yuck out of the system!)
2) Healthy Diet for the ENTIRE day (stick with the 1500 calorie goal)
3) Get Moving (even if its only 10 minutes...MOVE!)

Starting Out on the Right Foot

Today started off on a good note...the scale was down! That's always encouraging. I was not happy with yesterday's weigh-in, but I knew that it was going to be high because I have not been eating the greatest foods or drinking near enough water.
I think I will get on the treadmill today. I have been sitting here this morning debating with myself whether to do a Tae Bo dvd or get on the treadmill. The treadmill is a little less intense than Billy Blanks, so I think that is the way I will go today. Since I am just getting back into the whole routine, I don't need to burn myself out right away...walking with hand weights should be a good way to start off this journey towards the new me.

Finding a happy, healthy ME!



I am 27 today. That doesn't seem possible, but its true. This last year has been extremely hard on me and it is showing on my waist line. I have realistic goals in mind, now I need to just put forth the effort to make the goals a reality.
