SJacqueline's Journal, 16 February 2014

I haven't gained pounds on the scale but I feel like I'm looking more chunky around the waist. My job has thrown a kink into my healthy eating plan. I've been at my new job for almost 3 months now and just can't get my eating on a good schedule. I've tried taking short breaks to get a morning and afternoon snack into my day but it's just not happening consistently. Work has been extremely busy and with all the snow days and early closings I feel like I can't even squeeze in a small break and get my job done properly. I have found that I can easily munch on a nut mix on my ride home and it keeps me from snacking while I'm getting dinner ready. At least I've got that under control. Now I have to figure out a way to get my behind off the couch at night and get to the gym or at least do something at home. I sit there and say, "you really should just get up and jog in place or something" but can't seem to get off the couch and do it. I think that should be my goal for this week, to get off the couch at least 3 nights and either go to the gym or do something! I'll start small and work my way up. I missed pilates this morning because I was digging the snow out of the driveway but my daughter called and asked if we could help them do their driveway (it's quite big and she has tendonitis) so I think I'll get my exercise in today. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Today the sun is shinning and I hear we are in for warmer weather near the middle and end of the week so if nothing else, February is half done and we're that much closer to Spring!!
