All Talk No Action

Quite literally I have been all talk and no action. Time is quickly passing me by and I continue to be annoyed at my state. Let me get real for a minute ~ I have to learn to stay away from ice cappuccinos at Tim Horton's as well as Doritos Cool Ranch chips. Those 2 items are a major downfall for me. I need to learn to say, "No!" when my husband asks me if I want something from the dépanneur when he heads out to get something. In fact, I am going to have to ask him to not ask me. I also need to be better at staying active. Right now it seems so hard to get started, but I have to remind myself that once I get a routine, I can stick with it (after all, I was pretty good in the past when I had a regular routine). Yes, it's harder with a full-time job that takes me out of town once a month, a part-time job selling Tupperware and having 2 little ones that I want to spend time with (and somewhere in all that I also want to spend some time with my husband). I think a really big thing for me will be to figure out the best timetable I can. I should just do my workouts on the weekend during the daytime (and then find a couple of openings on weeknights). My 4 year-old will do the Zumba with me ~ she loves to dance around and totally loved it the one time we did it together. I am going to beat this laziness that has become part of who I am!!!

The First Step...

Alright...enough is enough. It's time to get this going. It's nicer out now, so I should make an effort to go for walks and enjoy being outside. The warmer weather is causing me to crave salads and fresh veggies (a really good thing!). It's time to listen to that craving and go with it to make sure I start eating properly. The first step for me has always been to start eating better. Once that happens, I am fueled properly to add the exercise to my routine. Funny thing: once I start exercising I start to crave the healthier choices (see how it all works together?).

I plan to be more meticulous with planning my meals (especially what I take to work, including the snacks I need during the day). This is the week to start getting things in motion. I am tired of being tired. I am tired of being annoyed by my less than firm body (especially the ab area). I am tired of not feeling like I am the best version of me. The only one who has the power to change it all is ME!!! Here we go...
