Well the day after Chrismas I decided that it was my time to make a life change. Become healthier and achieve a better physique while I am at it. In July of this past year I tackled quitting smoking! I thought that I would never be able to do that, but I did, I have. After taking my first semester of Nursing Clinicals and being bombarded with how much what we intake can affect how we feel in nutrition class I decided to face my next worst “demon” - food!!! In later December I decided to make a life change, not “diet” per say - but make smarter choices! I closely watch my intake though, and count calories because portion control has ALWAYS been a problem for me. I do not feel that I am missing anything. I have eliminated “white” foods; pasta, rice, bread…I have more energy than I have had in years! 14 pounds have “fallen off” and I am hoping that many more will follow. Adding 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 3 times a week started 2 weeks ago…I just needed to say that it can be done, and I am hoping that I will get over the hump this time and finally make that full LIFE CHANGE!

Thanks for listening!

I had a bad weekend…it seems like every weekend is HARD for me.  The hubby and kids like “Pizza Friday’s” and I am ususally too tired to cook - so it works well.  I go all week measuring and being sure I stay within my calorie count only to flub it up over the weekend.  I am like an adict, when I start eating something wrong on Friday eveing or Saturday morning, I just start to binge and it does not end until I am depressed on Monday Morning!  PLEASE TELL ME I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!  How can I control this vicious circle?!?!?  P.s.  Thanks for listening, I needed to vent!!!
