Well so it has been almost a week, and so far it seems to be going well. I feel as if I havent had as much tension or desire when it comes to splurging and I think I know why...
One thing that I am discovering as I go through this process is that, in order for a diet to work, you really have to focus. I think about this diet often, and with greater determination than previous diets. A lot of that has to do with not having my mind consumed by school. But every moment and every amount of food I am consuming I think about before I eat it.
Today I was watching Oprah and there were some Cheeze-Its just sitting beside me that my dad left out. Not even thinking I just grabbed them and started eating them. It occured to me that there was no good reason for me to even be eating them, I was just eating them because they were there! So I spit those that were in my mouth in the trash, and put the box away. Thats the thing about being a chub, you get so used to just eating that its second nature.
But I am learning, and that was a huge step for me.
So as far as my diet lately, I would give my eating an A, but my exercising....ehhmm not so much. I have worked out a few instances, and I do work at my job pretty much full time, so I am active. It is however not nearly enough and I am making more excuses not to work out than I should.
So I have decided to make a new step in my diet...
Starting sunday (Week 2, Day 1) I am going to make a valient effort to have some sort of a workout everyday. Options can include...
Walking a mile
Working out at Curves (Which I have a membership to)
Swimming (my pool will be open :D)
Working out at the REC
Working out on the Wii
Doing a workout video
And probably more! So really there are so many options, but I have not done a good job in taking advantage of them.
Granted some days I work doubles, so I cant ALWAYS do it, but I will damn sure try!
