Being real!!

I (Melissa) wish I could have posted this yesterday but of course my kids were still home and needed my attention!! After 2 LONG LONG weeks of Christmas vacation they are finally back at school and ready to involve myself fully in my quest to a new me!!

Yesterday wasn't the greatest day for me as far as diet and exercise go!! I went to the grocery store and bought myself a really good salad to eat for dinner. But instead of making sure that I ate right and exercised, I ended up hanging around with my kids all day and had a work meeting at my home later on in the evening.

I didn't eat until 7:00 last night. NOTHING!! I finally sat down after a long busy day of playing super heros, watching movies, and my work meeting, and had my salad. STUPID ME FOR NOT EATING all day long. I ended up getting really hungry after I ate my salad and starting snacking on pretzels. Then chocolate. Then a hot pocket. UGH!!!! NO SELF CONTROL!!!

I know that this is a HORRIBLE habit!! But I am determined to change this TODAY!! I already had a serving of Weight Control Oatmeal and a cup of coffee with only 1 tsp of sugar and unsweetened cream. It was hard but I did it!!

I don't want to blog about what I'm going to do. I need to blog about what I have or have not done. So I'm not going to fill your heads with all this crap about how I am going to go for a walk today and try to eat better. If I do that you all will think that I am doing it. I want to let you know when I have actually done it or if I did not!! I won't be true to myself on this quest if I just say "I'm going to....." or "I plan on doing.....". I want to be able to look back at the months of working on this when it feels like I'm stagnant and see what I did or didn't do to make things work again!!

I am just like most people (unless you have that freakishly weird motivation to follow a strict routine every day) where I need to walk into something and not just dive in head first!! It will be a long slow process but I feel as though I CAN do this!! I will make this happen!!!!

  1. I agree and I do the same with letting the day pass and not eating and then eating all at once...I just want to encourage you by saying, every day is a new one, and not to let one day stop you from your goal! :)
