1 step forward, 2 steps back

 It seems like when I decide to do something, I start out ok then I struggle....1 step forward, 2 steps back...and on and on it goes. Well, that's where I am now (and it's only day 4), so I found some inspirtional quotes:

"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." - Thomas Edison

"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves." - Edmund Hillary

"What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it." - Henry Ford

"Never, never, never, never ever give up!" - Winston Churchill


This is me....

Food for Thought

Just to wrap up things from yesterday....I walked 45 minutes on a treadmill at a gym at a pace of 2.8-3.1 - then  went to eat Mexican - Enchilada Suizas (which was not so healthy) but I only had water....I also had another cup of coffee with the french vanilla creamer....hmm I thought I was doing better than this....so - moving on

Food: Today, I've had a nutrigrain bar (2 pts), banana (2 pts), strawberry pop tarts (9 pts), and water, water, water.

Thought: I'd like to post my progress in picture form. Every week - I'll take a picture of myself and post - an unaltered picture so I will have no excuse.....Here go's nothin'

Today's the day....

I think...well I know I've been putting off this day for a long time. Today's the day to stop excusing myself from doing the things I want, and need, to do with my life. Honestly, "this day" and "starting over" are things I've done before - I think we've all been there....but I have to keep on trying, right? So here I am....

Today I will respect my body. I will walk on a treadmill at a gym for at least 45 minutes. For those of you who know me...you know this will be a difficult thing since I have thing crazy fear of people watching me, among other things - which you'll find out later....This walk will be at a cardio pace too - not just a fun walk.

Today will mark the beginning of my food journal - which will not be a secret.....I mean really, I think this is pretty obvious......So far today I've had 2 poptarts, 2 cups of coffee with french vanilla creamer, leftover Dan Dan Noodles (probably 2 portions if I'm honest)...and it's just after lunch :( So in light of this, I will eat a healthy dinner with Water ONLY!

That's all I've got for now. Thanks for reading....
