out of control

Well, I just want to announce to everyone that I have been making bad, bad food choices. I am not losing weight at this point. I infact have gained a few pounds. Last night I realized that I am walking down old paths that lead to bad choices, eating for the wrong reasons, and I am being lazy.

It is my goal to improve that. I will not eat just because I need something to do, or because I am upset. I will instead chew gum or go for a walk when these are my reasonings for eating.

My goal of a half marathon is still there. I am admittedly frustrated with my lack of ability to run very far before I tire. BUT I know that if I stick with it and exercise I will build up stamina and be able to accomplish my goals! My goal date is still August 28th. However, I have not paid to register for that marathon yet. =/

I just got information from my hubby about a half marathon in Soda Springs on October 9th. I invited my dear friend for a date with me that day! I promised her I wouldn't make her stay behind with me but that I would meet her at the finish line. We are both excited for this.

So to keep myself on track I am going to be better about journaling my efforts into here so I have to be accountible for my actions and choices!! This morning I had one bite of hubby's egg, sausage, and cheese on croissant (JUST ONE BITE!!! HONEST) and then I got myself a 4oz raspberry yogurt 110 calories (that is probably how many calories was in that one bite of breakfast sandwich!! HA)

My date for October 9th is doing a no sugar diet (no treats etc) she wanted me to join her but I am not sure I can do that! BUT I will seriously decrease the crap I am putting into my body these days. Buttery, salty popcorn on date night while watching Biggest Loser is going to be a thing of the past. I need to get my exercise ball filled and then sit on that and workout on it while I watch. I teach exercise while watching tv - I teach no excuses not to exercise - I need to live by that better! So my goal is to be an example by my actions not by my speaking.

Any notes of encouragement and support is greatly appreciated! =) They are cooking baked chicken legs in the kitchen today so think I will go for that! and I will start going for walks on my lunch time. I loved doing that. oh maybe I will get a hard boiled egg and string cheese and go for a walk today. Ummm. I wore a skirt. maybe have hubby bring me tennis shoes and socks and walk anyway!! My daughter will be here on Tues and she loves to go running so I will have her wait until I am home from work, and we will go running together. It will make her feel good to know she got her mom kick started in her half marathon training!

So note to self- get moving and get rid of crap food in my food plan!

until I blog again....
