a new foot forward

So, most of my battle comes from that fact that I am either an all or nothing type of person. I am 110% into my diet, workout…the whole low calorie enchilada or 110% into binge eating, drinking beer, no workout…the whole enchilada with two servings of chips! I start off well and then say Super Bowl Sunday hits, well just this one day I’ll be bad and have some fun. However the next weekend is the Daytona 500/Valentine’s Day and it’s okay to be bad then too…heck might as well be bad from the one to the other right? That’s how my brain works.

I have a wonderful family, so really there’s no stress there. They are supportive all though it would be nice if my husband would walk with me more.

Work…lots of stress there. I have been completely unhappy lately and it sure as hell isn’t the best time to be looking for a new job. Because of this I normally go home tired and not wanting to do much of anything. My co-worker and I both are feeling the same pain have been trying to get out for 30 minutes everyday and get a good walk in. We have had a lot of weather permitting type of days lately, but are starting to get back into the swing of things.

Why do I want to lose the weight?

I turned 40 last year and I am not ready to lose my youth. Since losing the weight and working out I feel better than I have in my 30’s. I have discovered that I love being outside! So, it’s more of an inside/outside feeling that I love. I want to feel great and look great! LOL!

My fitness goal?

I would love to become a runner. Right now I am 155% not a runner. It’s pretty sad when I do try to run. You would think I smoked three packs of cigarettes a day (I don’t smoke at all!). I dream of running a 5K and actually running, not walking. My husband has tried to help, but I am always full of excuses when it comes to running. I just don’t enjoy it, but I keep thinking of I really try maybe one day I would love it.

Living a healthy lifestyle goal?

I really want to give up as much meat and processed food as possible. More organic food it my diet would also be good. Normally I am not much of a meat lover, so that’s pretty easy. I love veggie burgers and lucky for me my husband and family don’t mind my veggie meals either. Processed foods I have really been trying to cut out. I don’t drink soda, so that’s good. Anyway, this is newer to me and I have just started doing some reading on it all.

Anyway, I am starting March off on a new foot (although I do have a vacation coming up with month…that could be bad). Getting back into tracking everything that I put into my mouth and the calories. I find this helps keep my honest and accountable! Will focus on the positive of working out and eating healthy!!
