New Year, Old Habits
Jan 08, 2009
Hi everyone! YES, I am still alive!! Sorry I have been so out of touch lately. Nothing's wrong, I've just been busy. My husband has discovered Facebook so he dominates the computer alot at night. (and that's not a complaint, he would gladly hand the laptop over to me if I asked). Like I've said before, I just get too busy at night to think about it sometimes. Life is good though. The holidays were great. A 3 year old makes it magical!! I've avoided catching the nasty cold/flu bug that's been going around (despite most of my family and my son having it). Food wise, I pretty much ate what I wanted through Christmas and New Years. Which means I ate too much. I didn't gain though, so that's what I'm focusing on. Of course I didn't lose either - lol.My goal for 2009 - besides losing these last 60 lbs - is to STOP SNACKING SO MUCH!!! That is my "old habit" that I'm dragging into 2009. I have to stop. No whining, no complaining, I just have to stop. I don't know why I do it. I can't figure out why I eat out of habit. I'm NOT hungry, so why do I do it? I guess if I knew that, I wouldn't be doing it huh? I think it's just a matter of willpower. Just DON'T DO IT! I know I've blogged this same type of blog before but it's still that monkey hanging on my back. Eating out of habit instead of hunger. I've read some articles about postive affirmation lately - I've always that was a bunch of b---s---, but this morning I looked in the mirror and said - outloud - ok, you can do this. You can have a DAY of eating right. Yeah, it felt corny (and does even more so when I sit here and type it and read it) but it's true. I CAN have a day of "eating right". Or as a friend of mine puts it - EAT CLEAN. I think I like that phrase better.
I did start back to the gym this week and I've gotta say - I didn't realize how much I MISSED going!! A year ago I would have never said that. I really did miss the exercising. I'm hoping to stay on a good schedule for 2009 again. I feel so much better when I go!
Ok, so that's my update! I haven't taken pictures in 2 months because there isn't a lot of change. I will probably take some again in a month or so. I do need to do measurements again.
Life is good, I am very happy and I hope you are too!
