Learning Still

Oh the things you learn about yourself when you start to log your journey through life. I think sometimes I sabotage myself. I lost some weight this week and the next day I was like a child at a carnival eating every sweet, salty, savory thing I wanted. Diet? What diet? Exercise? Never heard of it. Now when I get back on the scale tomorrow, I'm sure I'll feel so sorry for myself. Truthfully, the more I become aware of my shortcomings, the more I'm able to face my demons and chase them off. Next weekend….next weekend will be different. Why waste my time feeling sorry. I chose it. Now deal with it girl. Change your behavior!

A New Way, A New Life

Well, it's been two weeks now and I've been exercising every weekday morning for a little under 20 minutes. I've lost 3 pounds! I get up at 6:00, turn on my Wii Fit and away I go. Some mornings it's difficult, but I make myself do it so that I can set the habit in place. On the weekends I'm much more lackadaisical. So much so that I gained a couple of pounds and had to rethink what I was doing. All in all, I like this new life change. I'm hoping my not-so-committed self will become much more committed because of it!

A new year. A new me

Well, a new year. A new me. This about sums up what I want to happen in my life this year. I plan to use this blog to record and document my struggles, triumphs and just everyday life. I've discovered a few things in this first week that I didn't know before.

First: I eat more than I thought I did.
Second: I eat way too much sugar.
Lastly: When I get home and wait to eat, I tend to graze all night long. I need to eat supper as soon as I get home.

Some changes I've made:

1. I get up every weekday morning at 6:00.
2. I do Wii Fit for 15 - 20 minutes
3. I shower every morning and put on my make up and some nice clothes for work.
4. I journal about my previous day, record my weight and amount of exercise.
5. Later on that night I record the food I ate that day.

It's these changes that have helped me discover these new things about myself. I don't know if this will work or not, but I just feel in my heart that this year is my year.
