Can I start over….
I haven’t posted in a minute 1.) Being lazy 2.) Being busy with work and school (Class 2010…Whoooo!) and 3.) Shame. Yes, I was to ashamed to post because I didn’t do what I said I was going to do for a number of reasons but for real….I just didn’t feel like it. Yep, I already know what you are thinking. Typical….but I thought I would try a new approach. It’s called the, “take one day at a time” approach. This weight is not coming off fast anytime soon so I might as well take my time getting it off. Yea, I know, I was supposed to do this in the first place. However, I am only human. You know how it is, right? It’s like how at the beginning of the year everyone rushes to the gym to start the New Year resolution to lose weight and fall off the band wagon by February or March. By the way, that was me many times over, LOL. This time I have decided to start early and start at the bottom, I mean the very bottom, and that means dealing with the mind and spirit. I want to know why I crave certain foods, why certain foods lift my spirits when I am sad, and how food works in my system; you know the whole relationship I have with it. You know how we women are…Let’s talk about it. LMAO
But in all seriousness I want to be about it as well. So, now what I have started doing is walking. Whether it’s parking far away when I go shopping, walking around at work, walking at my apartment complex, just moving. My current size pants are falling off of me, I mean I can take them off without unzipping them. (Yes, I am excited) However, I am just going to remain calm and just keep doing what I am doing. As far as food goes, I still eat sweets, but I have slowly reduced the amount I eat, and have started substituting them for fruit and I have cut down on the sugar, in which, I don’t eat white sugar, but I have always consumed Splenda. My vegetable intake has increased and I only eat fish, chicken, turkey and every once in while lean red meats but not often. I have started back lifting weight because I am dealing with a bad knee and a pulled muscle in my back. So, as you can see I have a lot of work to do but it will get done all in due time.
