mars2kids's Journal, 12 November 2014

I've been feeling okay with myself, but still not doing well with my healthy eating and exercising. I'm trying to make changes, but it seems like every time I vow to eat healthy, something unhealthy comes up and I cave. It's that time of year and I know it, so I just need to stop making excuses. Like today, I have to work late, so I was telling myself that I won't be able to get a workout in. Why can't I get a workout in? Because there are TV shows on this evening that I want to watch. Um, no, that's not a good excuse. Sooooo... After my hubby goes to work at 7, I'm going to do a workout. I have to do a workout, my body needs it. I did a workout on Sunday and felt like I was going to throw up, and I used to be able to kick that workout's butt. The last 2 days my days and evenings have actually been filled, so no workout, but tonight, no more excuses. I'm done, I think it's takes more energy to come up with excuses than it does to work out.

I have a work Christmas party come up on December 6th, so that's my goal to get back on track. I don't have to dress fancy or anything for the party, it just seems like a good date to give myself for a goal. I'm sick of my pants being tight, and being self conscious because of it. I'm sick of feeling worn out and tired all the time. I'm sick of feeling like I don't have control over my eating, who else does??? I'm sick of coming here and saying I'm struggling, because I'm the one who controls that. I want to say I've had a win. I want to say I'm eating healthy. I want to say I'm exercising regularly. I want to be a healthy person.

I have to take control of my own life, because no one else can. I am the only person who can choose the path I take, and I want that path to be healthy and happy. That path my not be easy, but most of the good things in my life I've had to work hard for. Okay extra pounds, here's your official eviction notice, no more living on my body mooching all my energy, it's time to go away!

you are right it takes more effort to get up and get going than it does to just keep going ...What I did to kep me going was to avoid the little chinks on the armor as soon as you skip a workout it makes it that much harder to restart ..If it helps were going thru some of the same crap but once to fit in to the next size lower or walk in a clothing store and something actuall fits IT FEELS GREAT so dont give up

I know what you mean. In your mind you want to do things but then things come up and you make excuses. You need to schedule time for you and make it happen. Good Luck!
