Inspiration

Met with a old friend yesterday for some work advice, but we eventually just started discussing the future. Where do I see myself in 5 yrs??
Hmmm.. was my initial thought and then How the f*** should I know? At 23- should I be thinking about this stuff? His look across the table told me that I should have years ago.

Well Shit?

Here are my ideas/thoughts on that: Travel, travel oh and travel. A big world to see and I better get going! I would like to think in 5+ yrs from now, I live in another country or at the very least have for a few months. I'm all about living life to the fullest-but its time I follow through with that statement :S

Had my first physical today, well the first part at least. I felt so nervous discussing my families health history and how those items could affect myself. Blood work next week-that I'm terrified for :( The idea of giving blood freaks the hell out of me. Pray for me.

Anndd its the weekend soooo...... here is my jam!

Bad week

So, my eating has started to improve- with the help of many of my co-workers on a cleanse which means its bring your lunch to work time. Eating out lunches has been one of my worst enemies so lets hope it helps.

My other victorious villian- love.
The man I am trying so desperately to get over, seems to make it harder and harder every day. This usually ends the day with me eating something I regret and sulking over the latest issue/problem.
Yesterday was the end. * I hope* I ate cookies after a extra-emotional moment and then regretting it right away. I need to disconnect my feelings with food. Hard as that may be....

Checking out the book "Rebel Diet" by Dr. Melissa Hershberg; it has some interesting ideas on the idea of a diet and how to overcome that, not limiting yourself.

Haven't exercised lately, and feeling guilty. Work has been demanding lately on my after hour time and so I have seemed to be able to fit the gym in, in person or even wii-style.

On to the next day...

New Year = New Choices

Everyone makes resolutions and than usually within a month or so they are either broken/ or forgotten about. I am a criminal of this as well as many people I'm sure.

So this year i've decided to take a different approach. Yes I want to lose weight, yes I want to feel better about myself and have my confidence grow. So instead of claiming it as a resolution or talking about it all the time. Which really just gives me a false sense of accomplishment, I'm just going to do it.

Suck my teeth in and work through it. Sure, there will be days that I eat bad or don't exercise as much as I should, but that point is that I acknowledge that and get right back on the horse the next day.

I got the fun tool of wii fit plus to hope motivate me and track my challeneges, its a interesting thing when you are hoping for a positive response from your television. I hate to admit it but the idea of wii telling me I haven't had a good day for whatever list of reasons, scares me a little. I want almost more than anything to impress the wii fit. It definitely doesn't help that my "mii" is HUGE due to my BMI being far higher than necessary.

So, time for a new decade and a new way of living.

Cheers,
