Making Sacrifices


So, while I have been walking my tail off in order to reach my fitness goals I must admit I have not been paying much attention to what I am eating. I know eating and exercising go hand in hand. Well, my MIND knows that... I just need it to control whatever it is about me that has NO willpower. For instance, the other day I caught myself having a bottle of diet soda and a bag of chips from the vending machine for lunch. Sheesh. That's terrible. Especially the soda thing because I had given it up (a MAJOR addiction of mine) and was doing so good until I had a stressful day and relapsed. I have not been drinking as much soda as I was, but still. I am disappointed in myself for reverting back to my unhealthy habit.

I realize I need to make some dietary sacrifices. I need to commit to some goals in writing and know that only I am accountable for what I do. I am going to begin small because I don't want to overwhelm myself. So, bear with me as I take baby steps.

This week: No soda, food from the vending machine (or any place with a drive-through), or beloved Starbucks Frappuccinos. I have two of those suckers every day and I hate to even imagine how many calories that is... yikes.

There it is. I will keep you updated on my progress.
