Ok guys.. I have been superbad. No, not the hysterical movie with McLovin.. I have been super bad with writing journal entries and weighing in and even have stalled going to the gym more than I want to. I am totally off track.
I hope this week I can get back into the groove. I've just been quite frustrated with a few things (nothing major, just me being neurotic). I got to do yoga before Thanksgiving, which was super relaxing. Can't say how much I needed that.
I especially want to keep track of my diet now so that starting on Jan 1st I can record everything I eat in 2011 (need to make it a habit now so it will be later)! How cool would that be? I also need to start getting to use my blackberry app since I haven't really been using that as I should since I am away from my computer most of the day.
I guess we shall see. Gym tomorrow on my day off and then later some cocktails with my man <3

Was very tempted to stop at a fast food place yesterday. I was out shopping and did not eat any junk. Instead, I went to Wegmans and shopped for a family dinner. Made me feel better to cook with my boyfriend and even my "little sister" ate dinner, which is something she hasn't done in a while. She normally eats cereal for dinner up in her room.

So I feel that I am doing pretty well with my new lifestyle. I have been doing weight training a lot and my muscles have always been sore the next day so I guess I am pushing myself enough.
I've been debating whether I should be keeping track of my exercises. I know I do 10-12 reps and 3 sets of every exercise, but I don't keep track of the weight I have been using. I don't want to be a nerd with a notebook, but it may be worth it. Any thoughts on this? Has it helped anyone's progress?
Today I am going to go swimming. Do my 12 min of cardio, legs and abs, then go swimming! I love love love to swim. If there is anything that could help me clear my mind, it is swimming. I swear I was a fish in a past life. You can't drag me out of the water- pool or ocean. It is just a great release of energy and it is so calming to me.
But first- using my nice bonus to go Christmas shopping for loved ones! There's something for some one else today! (69 Days challenge) lol

I guess I should keep a journal of some sort so that I may track how I am feeling during this whole lose-weight/feel-better mission that I am on. I already give props to myself for finding some cash every month to get me to the gym (which has been
long
overdue- had to leave my previous gym in April due to my new career and move to PA). Once I start going to the gym (and this is my third serious time), I tend to eat better because I think,
"why am I going to eat crap when I work so hard at the gym?"
I also think,
"I better get to the gym if I am paying X amount to go there."
Everything pretty much
comes together
. I eat better, sleep better,
feel
better. I manage my time so that I can get to the gym. And most of all, which is something I feel many of us struggle with, I give myself some time to just
myself
. I work between 60 and 70 hours a week, some times more. On a good week, I work 45-55. I have a lot of employees to keep up with. I try to help out my family when I can see them, and I come home to my wonderful boyfriend. But some times I just need time for me. You can call that selfish, or you can call it a necessity. Either way, if I am going to live the life I want to live, I think I deserve that time to work on making myself a better, healthier person.
In the past week I have been able to evaluate what exactly I want to accomplish. To be perfectly honest I could
care less
what the number on the scale says. When I weigh myself in on Saturday, I am not really going to care. I have a history of hypertension and high cholesterol and heart problems in my family, so I want to make sure I am healthy. You could have an amazing body but what does that matter if
you aren't taking real care of yourself
?
I also believe in planning. In my experience, most successful events happen because they are planned. This isn't to say that life should be thought out minute by minute, or that spontaneity should not be celebrated, but the reality of the situation is: if you want to accomplish something, it should be thought out carefully and implemented.
And plans some times need to be adjusted in the moment:
"A good plan violently executed right now is far better than a perfect plan executed next week."
Well my plan is this:
1) Eat right.
Period.
2) Get to the gym 4-5x/week.
I'm not going to suddenly obsess over everything I eat or go work out like a fiend. I'm going to go at my pace. My rules.
And when I start tightening up and looking and feeling better- I can say, "I did it
MY
way."
