Success!

Wednesday, Nov. 17th
I'd call this day a 98% success.  Ate right and did the exercises once (suppose to be twice - that's the reason for the missing 2%).  I feel more in control, having success for ONE DAY - haha.  It is amazing how many temptations there are in a day - as Drew said in his blog.  How many times you have to make the right decisions.  I was tempted all day until I fell asleep.  But I did it - so I can do it again!

What to do...

Understanding how frequently I mess up this eating plan!  Today is Tues - helping a friend suddenly when getting ready for work - and I forgot my breakfast, lunch and dinner meals!  They were all ready in the refrigerator.  Tuesday - a fail.

Yesterday, did well until another friend came over.  Had dinner ready but they had already eaten, she and her husband just wanted some wine while we talked.  I thought at first that I wouldn't have any - then that seemed rude.  So I thought I would just have wine and no dinner.  After a few hours I was hungry!  A little bit of roast and that was it.  Later, at bedtime, I ate more!  The wine helped weaken my willpower I'm sure.  Monday - a fail.

Sun - I did follow the plan, up until the time I ate 4 chocolate chips cookies that I made for the kids!

So far - not so good.  What to do to follow the plan???  Well, its obviously WILLPOWER.

Determination

If you have focus, it will happen.

That's been my mantra and I haven't put it to much use as of late.  In working out what I want to focus on I have many options for improvement;  career (a better use of my skills, experiences and education), finances (directly relates to work-needs improvement!), and fitness level (worse ever!).

While I have been working on improving career and finances (something WILL happen soon), FITNESS is where I need some accountability and motivation.  Here's to hoping this post will give me that.

I have never weighed this much and been so unhealthy.  I just turned 47! Does that mean I have to be frumpy?  NO WAY!  I am 5'4" and weigh 150 lbs.  Just 6 years ago it was 120 lbs.  It's time to change.  I will be fit and strong.  I believe this will also help me be highly successful in other areas of my life.

STRONG BODY, STRONG MIND
