Well, I didn’t really put the whole thing off, just the journaling. The past couple of months have flown by and I just feel like I cannot get it all done. The main thing holding me up is the re-design of a website of the company I help manage. I tell you what, two-thumbs up for Roni who maintains her current websites and just added a new one. You go girl! Website designs are hard, making it even harder is when you have too many people trying to give advice on how it can best be done. I finally managed to close my ears and just work away. I have the site done, but I am working on a domain transfer at this time and my current host is not being too helpful.
Anyway, I am trying my best to gain control of my life both physically and spiritually, which if I can get a grasp on those two, I will be better off mentally. I am a Christian and my faith plays a huge role in my life. When I am not in His Word during the day, it seems like I have a very hard time prioritizing, and the world has control over my schedule. Well, this morning after feeding and dressing my 3 year-old, I sat down with a cup of coffee and the Bible and after that I exercised. It felt so good to be able to say, “I will take care of myself first, and then get my other chores done.” It was liberating!

I haven’t been putting it off since Saturday, I just haven’t been journaling. But my choices have been healthier, and I’ve been tweaking a couple of routine foods. For example, in the mornings I like to have a breakfast burrito, so instead of my usual two eggs w/bacon and cheese wrapped in a whole tortilla, I have had two egg whites with 1 slice of bacon, a sprinkle of cheese, and some green pepper wrapped in half a tortilla. And I think right now I am craving an apple with just a bit of organic peanut butter (mmmmmm…). And here in just a couple of hours I am going to be hopping on the treadmill for a 60 minute routine that I have downloaded from itrain.com. Hopefully here in the next couple of days I can start fitting in the journaling that I know will really help me keep track of my eating.

Weight=180 Goal=140
The thought that most commonly runs through my head when eating a cookie or some good homemade potatoes and gravy is, “This is the last day of treats, tomorrow I will start eating healthier and exercising consistently.” HA! I have not always had a problem with my weight, it started mostly after I got over being anorexic. I went through it for about a year in high school. My parents took me to specialists and I did finally get out of the fog I was in, but I still look back at pictures and think, man I looked good! Kind of sick, I know, but I don’t think the desire will ever go away, I just have the common sense to sort it out. Since that time I have a really hard time loosing weight and maintaining, more so after having my son. So, tomorrow is finally here! To keep me on top of the activity side of things I have decided to train for a marathon 11 months from now. I have always loved exercise videos and bicycling, so jogging will be a new adventure. As for logging my food I have always found weight watchers to be an enjoyable program, but I really need to stick with it. Wish me luck!
