Day 2~ Better Late Than Never

Exercise? Yes! The BF & I did the exact same thing as Day 1 woke up before the birds and went for a walk. That morning was WAY colder than the previous morning so I just sped up my pace to warm up! Then when we got home we did the only workout dvd we own its a weight watchers Intermediate one & its intense considering I am NO where near Intermediate! But I didnt want to got outside so we did it anyways and let me tell you it was exhausting! I was so sore but it felt good.

Water? Yes! I actually met my goal I set for after Day 1! I had 84oz of water woo freakin hoo!  I think the problem is I drink all my water at work becuase its really close by and FREE and at home I have none! So I fixed that problem and bought some at the store so I would be able to drink it at home as well. The BF is not sold on getting one of those dispensers from arrowhead or sparkletts yet...sigh.

 Temptations? Vending Machine. You will probably be seeing this ALOT because its there everyday but today the vending machine in the hallway was calling my name and let me tell you there is nothing healthy in there since the lady who fills it could give a rats a** about calories & fat grams. I walk by this thing many many times and I refrained! But it is there EVERYDAY =( oh well. 

 

 

 Goals For Tomorrow? Yes. Eat more fruit & veggies. & think positive thoughts.

 

 

Notes/Comments? I am really proud of myself for getting past another day but I cant help but be negative! I keep thinking this is going to take FOREVER! and its HOPELESS. The thoughts are short lived because I keep reminding myself I am working on life long changes and not a quick fix. I am trying to teach my body that we dont need greasy cheeseburgers and fries (even though we do LOVE them) I also need to learn that even though we arent running marathons at least I am moving! and its baby steps!

Day 1~ Baby Steps

In an effort to not ramble & get to the point I would like to develop some sort of format to my daily posts. SO please bear with me! =D

 

Exercise? Yes! The BF & I were up @ 4:40am out of the apt by 4:50 went for a 30 minute walk and got home with time to freshen up make a lunch and have breakfast and be out by 5:50! Whew. Then when we got home we walked to the BF's moms work to pick something up, and that was another 30 minutes of walking! I was so proud of us for not driving over! Yay =)

 

Water? Its so hard for me to consume large amounts of water that today I really took baby steps. I drank 48oz of water. Its tough not only because it got boring but because it calls for frequent potty trips! and since our bathroom is clear on the other side of the building its time consuming but also allows for more moving around so I guess it can be a good thing. Tomorrow I will start bringing my sugar free flavored packets for my water so I will drink more.

Temptations? Hell.To.The.Yes. For some reason I had it in my head that EVERYONE would be on a diet after new years and not bring yummy treats anymore...WRONG! I was tempted with Chips, 7 layer Dip & Chocolate cake. I am happy to report I passed on both offers! =D

Goals For Tomorrow? Yes. Drink more water & have less bread.

Notes/Comments? Day 1's are both easy and tough for me. Easy because I am always super motivated and pumped up there is NO way I am messing up! But tough because WOW there are a whole lot of temptations & I always get in my head when I walking and say things like "what is a half hour going to do? I might as well have just slept in" or "Maybe I am just too far gone and its hopeless!" BUT luckily I have an incredibly supportive and encouraging BF that gets me back on track! =D Days 2...3...4...5..and so on scare that crap out of me! but I am not going to look that far ahead yet. I am working on one day at a time and baby steps.
