This Dance

I'm really getting tired of doing the 3steps forward 5 steps back dance.... Needless to say I fell off the wagon when we went to Oklahoma and didnt get back on until today. I ate garbage 'till I literally got physically ill and then opted for the less traumatic garbage. On a lighter note, in the midst of this chaos, I did manage to find some new recipes to try and only bought what was in those recipes so I feel good about getting back on and keeping a good grip on things. Anyway, here we go again...

WoW!

I can't believe I've actually kept up with writing down everything I eat! I'm not known for being consistant with anything so I'm really proud of that! Plus I've actually really put forth effort to make the things I eat count. I slack off sometimes and eat garbage on occasion but I need a break from being good every once on a while. Overall despite the fact that the numbers haven't changed much, I feel a lot healthier! That's what it all comes down to anyway!

Feelin' Fabulous!

I can honestly say after finally being consistent with my food log and exercise I really do feel Fabulous! I don't feel sluggish and tired anymore! It's made a huge difference knowing I have to be accountable for what I eat by writing it down and sharing it with my trainer and friends. It forces me to be honest with myself about the things that hold me back and it's given me an opportunity to see where I would like to make changes in my diet and exercise! I appreciate everyone who's pushed, encouraged, advised, and tolerated me through this HUGE lifestyle change. The past year I have seen such a transformation in my motivation and follow through and I'm so glad I'm doing it! Thanx!!!!
