AlgaeGirl's Journal, 15 July 2009

I feel like I did not drink enough water today. Scratch that. I know I didn't drink enough water today. Just one of those days where you start and get moving and there's no chance to stop and have a nice, cold glass of water.

I know I'll be good tomorrow. Especially since it's my last day before my stay-cation!

And speaking of stay-cations, I was thinking that it would be hard to be *good* while I have nothing to do and no one to be accountable to except myself. But I realized I don't need to *try* and be good, it's just become part of my normal, every day routine. I like working out. I love riding my bike. I don't need to gorge myself on chocolate and cookies. Yes, I still like treats - popcorn is still a major weakness - but I know if I plan on having a movie night, with a big, buttery bowl of popcorn, I have to be careful of my afternoon eating and make sure I have a great exercise plan for the day.

Who knew? Little changes over time become habit. And there's no need to go back to those bad habits. They were bad for me. And I'm doing well and feeling good. It's all about routines...

Man do I agree with this. I am finding that even my "bad" days are nothing like the gorging that I used to do. Even better I am at the point where one of those days where I go "treat nuts" makes me feel genuinely awful...not the I feel guilty awful but a goodness I would have felt better if I didn't do that awful. Popcorn, as for you, is still one of my big weaknesses but I am riding a ton and its balancing those small misses out. I also seem to have ZERO problem faithfully recording what I eat as well as my activities. I have said it in other places but having the Exercise Diary is a huge thing for me. It lets me eat more on the days I grind out a big workout or ride. All and All I am with you...I feel I am doing well and feeling good. I see my weight starting with a "1" soon instead of a "2"...that will be cool.
