Down but not Out

Since last Friday I haven't exercised. I have had 20+ ounces of dr pepper a day. I have had cake, brownies, or a candy bar every day. (Not all on one day) I haven't eaten more than 1 serving of vegetable a day. I feel blah, tired, sick.

I am not quitting. I may be down but I am not out. I just need change my game plan and reset my goals. I am going to post my daily and weekly goals where my hubby and kids know what they are. I am going to make sure I exercise before even starting housework. I learned last week that if exercise was number one thing for the day it got done. Since I can't seem to enjoy just a little dp without wanting more then I am going just not drink it. This will be painful but doable. I just need to stay busy so I won't think about it. Replace the times I normally drink something with healthy drinks...watching jazz bball, scrapbooking,... I enjoy water and crystal light and lemon water. I just need to have a glass of something healthy to drink where I will see it. Also I am going to make sure I journal food and feelings. Journaling seemed hard when I did it last week. I tried to figure out why. I was eating well to be able to write down that I was eating well. When I wanted to stray I just put the journal away for the day. Then I didn't have to feel guilty. But that didn't help. So I am going to journal and be truthful about it, no matter what.

Thanksgiving is next week and I want to show not only myself that I can take better care of my body and health but I want to show my Heavenly Father that I am thankful for the body He has blessed me with. To do this I need to eat the right foods and exercise to get strong and healthy.

I CAN DO THIS. :-)
