I had a decent day despite a few set backs. When my alarm went off at 5 am, I knew there was no way I was going to get up so I just didn’t. I needed the sleep!
At lunch I made a good choice and went with a salad and I made it to the gym as promised and did step aerobics followed by 5 laps in the pool followed by bowling league. I did have a burger, fries, and 2 beers which was a no no.
I started my to-do/goal list also which is pretty focused.
The end of the old year marks the time for making resolutions and plans for health and wellness starting in the new year…. So, that’s what I have been doing. Deciding what my plans are for getting fit in 2010.
My husband and I had been doing really well with our P90X a while back, but one thing led to another, and well….it’s been a while. On Tuesday, I will be starting that up again. I will also be scheduling the 4:30 gym classes on my calendar so there will be no excuse not to go.
Food and alcohol are my down falls. I need to quit drinking. I believe that would cut a number of pounds right away. I am going to give myself a 30 day challenge and cut out alcohol for 30 days and see what happens.
I am not going to focus so much on what I eat, but I am going to watch what I eat. I think if I boost up my burn, the intake will naturally diminish and I won’t have to stress myself out so much about it.
EDIT: Okay, so having been totally inspired by http://www.myallnaturalweightloss.com/ and the incredibly detailed to-do list she made for herself last year, I am going to begin workingon mine post haste. I love to-do lists. I love any kind of list really. I need to make myself an inspirational list….. Maybe I will renew my search for a wordpress plugin for that purpose.
I’m sitting here watching Biggest Loser and seeing these people working so hard and doing so well. I can only think to myself “what the heck is wrong with me?” Why can’t I have that kind of determination and dedication to my health?
I promised myself that I would get up each morning and do P90X and do the 4:30 classes at the gym this week yet here it is Tuesday and I have yet to do P90X and did not go to the gym today.
Please help me.
I don’t know why I can’t figure this out. I seem to self sabotage when it comes to weight loss. I will do ok for a while and then just flip right back in to the old bad habits.
I took advantage of this long weekend to catch up on the pile of magazines I haven’t gotten around to reading (dating back to the August issues!!). I read a few publications each month regarding healthy eating and weight loss. One theme ran strong through each magazine “women should only have one or two alcoholic drinks, if any, per day”. This is tough as I like to have a beer or two (or more). I think this is one of the main causes of my obesity.
We’ll see if it makes a difference.
