Step Away From the Cake

That is my new mantra.  Just one day....I will track for just one day...I will work out for just one day.... I think it will help me stay on track. Instead of focusing on the big picture, which I do, I can focus on the little things and the only thing I really have any control over...today...just one day. So I started it today.  When I woke this morning I said to myself, "I'll work out just today" and I got up and worked out.  I then decided to track for just today to see how much I'm eating. So I tracked.  It worked.  So, what have I learned.  To-Do lists really work for me...really...also, focusing on the here and now works for me.  So I'm going to write a to-do list for every day and practice my mantra....just one day...I can do anything for just one day.....  Read my progress here .

5 am - hill repeats up & down my driveway. Did 10 & it took 15 minutes. Halfway thru felt like barfing, by end legs were shaking something fierce. Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.5

I have said that so many, many times in the past. I have declared that I am done feeling this way and am going to change things. I have proclaimed from the mountain tops that I will workout and track my food. And I'm doing it again. See here's the thing. I get frustrated with working out and watching what I eat and nothing happening. Then I stop tracking...or I stop working out..and that goes on for awhile..then I start to feel tired...and fat...and lazy...Then I realize that I have to workout in order to feel good. So, after a couple of weeks of really slacking, I am ready to start up again. Tomorrow. I'm starting to wear my FitBit again. I'm going to use their food tracker to keep track of the food I eat. I'm going to get up in the morning and workout. I need to start and tomorrow, my 52nd birthday, is as good a time as any.
