And so it begins......

Okay I did it! I exercised today for the first time in about 4 months. It is really a shame just how out of shape I am. Although I did do cardio for a good 30 minutes, sweat pouring even in this freezing weather, heavy breathing like some stalker dude, the works. Felt awesome and like I might have a bit of that "I exercised yesterday because my stomach is killing me" feeling. But, I didn't do so much that I won't be able to do it again tomorrow.

I also stayed on point with my eating today. I made a great big HUGE pot of veggie soup that I am eating before both lunch and dinner (only non-starch veggies in there - lots of good stuff). It was actually pretty yummy. Dinner will be soon, but I am happy to say that I am not at the point overwhelmingly hungry.

Got to do better about my water intake. I am normally really good about drinking my water, but didn't do so great today. Tomorrow my plan is to get a good 10 glasses of water in before it is all said and done.

Off to finish cooking dinner! Chicken and veggies!

Welcome 2010!!!

In the spirit of tradition I am focusing on my goals for 2010!!! I am committed to making them attainable and reachable and at the same time challenging and worthwhile! All that will help me towards my goal of health.

1) Cut the sugars and simple carbs BACK out of my diet (why did I ever stop with this one!!!!)
2) Exercise, Exercise, Exercise!!! (I hate to exercise, but HAVE to do it, I wonder if there will ever come a time when this will be something I look forward to?)
3) Drink buckets of water. (well maybe not BUCKETS but lots and lots!)
4) Limit coffee to one cup a day
5) Make sure I get those 2 -3 servings of dairy
6) Go to bed early and work on getting those 7-8 hours of sleep
7) Get that new job that will simplify my life and get out of my current stressful one!

8) and most importantly continue focusing on the Lord and walking with Him!

I think that is enough. All doable! All beneficial! Can't wait to see the results!!!!
