A New Day

The last three weeks or so, I have made promises, vowed to do better, then promptly bit the dust and put myself farther away from my goals.  After losing close to 30 pounds, I have gained back 10 and am working on re-losing weight I never wanted to see again.

One step forward, three steps back is getting old.  Very old!  It wears me down, leaves me feeling very discouraged, angry, and frustrated.  I can't keep doing this to myself.

Yesterday I didn't want to work out, but I grit my teeth and said "Enough crap."  I did my new weight-training DVD and added on some Zumba.  I will keep doing that, forcing myself if I have to, until I feel like doing it again.  I don't have time to wait for myself to feel motivated and inspired.  I have wasted too much time already. 

Today is a new day, and I am not going to waste even one more day.

Week #1, Day #5

I think that posting each day (or as close to every day as possible) will help me to get on track and stay there.  I like the idea of posting which week and day I am on too, as a reminder that the clock is ticking and there is no time to screw around!

The day started out good yesterday, but I ended up going out for lunch, and it was all downhill from there.  I still exercised, so at least I didn't completely mess up!  But half-hearted efforts will not get this weight off.  Half-assed won't get me where I want to be: slim, fit, and strong.

So today is a new day, and so far, so good.  I have logged my breakfast, have taken my supplements, and am here to use this blog like I intended to use it: for accountability, to track my journey, and to get my head back into this.

Today's goals:

* Stick to my meal plans

*Log my food and drink

*Weight training workout this evening
