January 8, 2012 - A case of the sundays

I didn't have much time to update this little blog of mine this weekend.  I dont feel like I'm putting the commitment into this diet that I should be, I feel very relaxed about it, like I should probably track my calories but it doesnt matter if i dont. I'm making better eating choices, but all in all the motivation to try, isnt there.  My goal this week is to see if I can find this motivation.  And also work out at least 5 times this week.

This week is my last week of work before going part time. It will be different, but I hope, even with school I will have time to plan meals and work out

Quote Of The Day - January 3, 2012

Two today

Don't you dare, for one more second, surround yourself with people who are not aware of the greatness that you are. ~Jo Blackwell-Preston

January 3, 2012 - Still Need To Work On That Self Esteem

I was finishing up my work out today, feeling ok about myself, a little depressed since I couldn't run, but I was at the gym and working out so that's something.  Then in walks the skinniest girl, toned in all the right places, and she of course is running.  Why did this make me feel so bad?  Why can't I see another person and not think "I'm just not ever going to look like that, I'm so fat, I'm so ugly" and instead think "I'm going to look like that someday"?

I see someone else in the mirror, and it's weird to me, cause I know what other people see when they look at me and its not an overweight person.  But that's what I see when I look in the mirror. I think I really need to work on my self image but I'm not really sure HOW.

Still there were some positives about today. I DID workout, although I had to force myself.  I DID track my calories.  I DID eat healthy.

Let's focus on the DID's and not the DIDN'Ts

January 2, 2012 - Not a Very Productive Day

Today was a sick day. Home sick from work, and got nothing much accomplished besides sitting around and watching TV.  I know, so motivational.  I'm trying to think about my motivation and where it comes from and what motivates me and I've been having some trouble with that.  I think my goal this week will be be to write down at least 1 thing every day that motivates me to be healthy and loose weight and to want to become a runner.. starting with today

Motivation #1 - I want to look healthy, and sexy, and be able to feel comfortable naked.

Look at that girl right there, she is beautiful and she is free, and alive and I want to be that girl.

My goals for tomorrow
1) track everything I eat
2) drink at least 64oz of water
3) go for a 30 minute walk
