Well the scale is finally moving. And I put on a pair of
pants I couldn’t wear before Christmas (though they are TIGHT). Good gravy, it’s slow. No, I am not eating
gravy. Gravy has gluten, gluten is horrible for me… no gravy.
I’ve made some small changes at every meal, these aren’t
things that I didn’t know to do, they are things I chose not to do. One thing I promised myself is that I would
not make myself crazy. Well… crazy-er.
I am not going to do insanity (you can though and I will
cheer you on). I am going to make sure I get 10,000 steps in every day. I hurt my back so exercise has been walking,
stretching, that sort of thing, I make no apologies for taking care of myself
and not over doing it. I will get back
to the elliptical and then to running… but for now…
I eat normal food. I
just really choose what I am going to eat and plan well. I have really cut back
on dairy, it’s full of fat and calories…
I do eat it but just not a lot. I
have learned over many years if I fail to plan, I plan to fail. Yes, I carry celery and carrots around with
me in case I get hungry. It’s crazy and
mostly I don’t eat them, but sometimes I do,
and I am thankful I have them… just in case. Did you know I used to know a kid named
Justin Case. True Story.
I am little crazy about my steps. Today might be difficult, I have a 3.5 hour
meeting that I have to sit through. HOLY
MOLY. Again, planning, I walked .75
miles this morning in the tunnels below my office. I love walking out in the peacefulness of the
night, but it’s cold people, I prefer NOT to have to be out there for an hour.
I eat A LOT of vegetables. I mean a lot of them. And after
eating organic carrots for quite some time, I discovered when I ate regular
carrots – GROSS! I could taste the
chemicals. No thank you. But I don’t always eat organic, it’s expensive, and I do
the best I can. And that’s ok with me.
So here I am again, refusing to get my exercise in by
beating myself up, I have to take care of myself so I can be around my whole
life and I’d like to be happy. But know if you come over for dinner… there
will be vegetables… but you don’t have
to eat them, I will make you something else too!
There are my crazy thoughts!
