Why is it that I’m never ready Monday for to come around? Sunday evening comes and I can never believe the weekend has gone and work starts the next day.
For the last two weeks I’ve tried to watch what I’ve eaten and really eat smaller meals or in more moderation. I hadn’t been paying attention much and I was eating lunch out everyday. So now I’ve brought my lunch to work and I’ve eaten 5 or 6 smaller meals a day.
So I starting out another week and I had a little good news this morning. This morning when I got on the scales and in just two weeks I’m down seven pounds. I’m not being strict with my diet but rather just focusing on eating healthier and eating appropriate portion sizes. I’ve pushed myself for a while with the philosophy of shopping on the outer edge of the grocery store. So cutting pack on processed food.
The next big focus will be increasing my physical activity. I’m not much for going to the gym. People ask “don’t you feel great after you go?” The response is “No!” I never get pleasure out of going to the gym. I don’t find it social most of the time and I don’t get any euphoric high from going to the gym. Now in the past I did lose a little weight but the reason I don’t loose more weight is that I don’t push myself physically. Growing up I never got that introduction to physical activity. Even growing up on a farm physical activity was work. Well what kid wants to work? Yeah we would sometimes go walk the farm but that wasn’t a frequent occurrence.
Every year (for the last several years) I’ve said I’m going to get healthy and try to lose the weight. Well I’m trying to do it this year and I’m just doing it one step at a time. So if you have any suggestions please feel free to pass them on through the comment box. I’ll try to keep you updated and who knows maybe I’ll even try to post some pictures as I got through the process. I’m not much for taking pictures of myself so don’t hold your breath but I’ll try.
