I haven't been good for the past couple of weeks. I keep saying I'm going to be and all that, but I haven't. This hit a peak this weekend when I went out for real Italian food on Saturday and then ate my way through Sunday: Bacon and eggs for breakfast, a hotdog and fries at Fuddruckers for lunch, boba, a grilled cheese and pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries, a half of pancake wrapped piece of red velvet cake with cream cheese and a third of a chocolate chip bread pudding ( I have NO regrets :D) But when I got on the scale I was up about 3 lbs and just super grateful that I was still in the 260s and not back up into the 270s. So this week (all two days of it) I've finally gotten back into control. I've been packing my lunch for work, eating a sensible breakfast and a sensible dinner. I've already lost 2 of the three lbs. Which makes me feel like my body is just yearning for my to be good so it can lose weight. And after years of abuse, I feel I owe it to my body to do what it wants for a change.
So, on top of continuing to eat well, adding back in fruit and veggies that I had strayed away from and stopping eating so much bread and cheese, I'm also going to start exercising again. I'm going to start with my WiiFit, because let's be honest, it's less daunting and I need to get started again. But then I'm going to do the 30 day challenge, maybe use some of my videos (I actually do like the exercise videos). I have enough time in the day if I stop watching quite so much tv, if I don't let myself get sucked into a book right when I get home. So I'm pulling out my secret weapon that I totally forgot about: my radio. If I have music on, I don't need to turn the tv on or pick up a book for company, and with music on I can still do other things, like exercise. Or laundry. Or clean my kitchen.
I have to do it now while I'm motivated. And I'm super motivated, because I just put on a pair of jeans that I couldn't button a couple of months ago. And while they are a bit tight, I'm gonna wear them anyway!!
