Why is this so hard?

I woke up at 7:30 today, but couldn’t get myself to go for a walk. Then I went to help out at an art class, and I packed my tennis shoes to go to the gym after. And I didn’t - saying that I’d do a video tonight when I got home and everyone else went to Amy’s softball game. And…I haven’t.

I always ask myself what my problem is, but it all ends up that I just need to fucking do it. (Pardon my language). So…. I guess there’s no better time to start. I’ll put in a walking video. Doesn’t help that I ate horribly today.

This always happens - I start, and do fairly well for a few days, then screw up because it gets hard. So, lets look at the record.

Saturday: morning walk

Sunday: morning walk, good eating

Monday: morning walk, good eating

Tuesday:  bad eating, no walk

Wednesday: short morning walk, eh eating

Thursday: bad eating, walking video

So, that’s FOUR walks in 6 days. And thats not bad for the first week - and its not even over yet! Granted, my walks weren’t generally huge aerobic workouts, but they were more than I did last week.

I feel better. I think I need to DO IT, but also give myself credit for what I do.

I took the Kid for a walk.

And by Kid I mean the dog. It was really short - there were other people on the track, and he can’t handle that. It was about 20 minutes, really short and leisurely. But, I didn’t get in all of the activity that I wanted, so I’m going to go to the gym later today.

I’m also looking at a pedometer and some WW stuff - I might try that again.

:D

New beginnings.

Hello there. :D

I have another blog that I will link to, but this one is my primary weight loss/diet one. So…lets get started. :D

The past few days I’ve been doing fairly well; I walked every morning and watched what I ate (and wrote it down!). Yesterday I woke up late (because I had to pee at 2:00, and couldn’t sleep until 5:00…woke up at 10:30, etc). My day just started off bad. I had a big ass waffle for breakfast and it went downhill from there. I suppose I could’ve pulled myself out, but it didn’t work.

So, today. I had three blueberry muffins for breakfast. In a half hour I’ll be heading out for my walk (about a mile and a half). Then, I have to get ready; I have an interview at the college for a job at the Registrar’s office. Then Amy has a meeting there with the new softball coach. I’m worried about the interview. I’m just not psyched about it.

Something has to go right. I still haven’t found for sure housing, and I still haven’t found a job. I just need something to work out. I also hope to hear back from the winery job today. I interviewed for it on Sunday, and he said he’d call on Wednesday, and if he didn’t to call back on Thursday. Ugh.

To be honest, I don’t really want to go for my walk. I think I just might take the dog today, time goes so much faster when he’s with me. On the other hand, there might be other walkers, and that wouldn’t be good…I’ll figure something out.
