I can’t believe that it’s April already, it seems like Christmas was just last week to me.  Where does the time go?  I say that it seems like Christmas because thats when I promised myself that I would get to work on this weight loss thing I’ve got going on.  You know putting myself first, making sure that counting points and daily activeiy are part of my everday life.  I can report to you that while I’ve been counting, well semi counting and some working out I’ve lost like no weight since December.  But this very dark cloud that is my platue has a silver lining like all clouds and that is April. 

April to me is the start of spring.  There are some many nice things that come along with spring that really help me get motivated to do something about my weight.  Here is a list of behaviors that I want to start changing now that’s it spring, and hopeful the number on the scale will follow my behavioral changes

  1. It’s still light out when I get home from work.  You know what that means, that’s right no more excuses as to why I don’t want to walk the dog.  Yesterday Lucian and I walked 2.5 miles, I’m working my way up to 5 miles by October.
  2. Yesterday I took my last sip of diet soda.  I’ve been tyring to kick the habit for a while now and I thought no better day then the 1st of a month to give something up.  I figure if I can go the whole month of April with out it, then I wont crave it after that.
  3. I got my hair cut.  Now I know ya’ll are thinking what does a hair cut have to do with changing habits for positive weight loss.  Here’s my thinking, I’ve then same since December and I liked the way I looked there for I didn’t feel like changing anything.  So I cut my hair really short, (I’ll post a picture soon) in hopes that my new hair style will motivate me to take make the changes that I want to make to my body, so I can feel as good about that as I feel about my new hair.  If that makes any sense to at all.
  4. No new clothing until I’ve lost 20 more pounds.  I’ve been rewarding myself in a sense for coming this far, and I really think it’s one of things that are holding me back.  I don’t want to get to comfortable at this weight. 

Okay so there is the list of things that I want to do this spring.  No its a list of things that I will do this spring.  Got to run

Bye
