And So It Starts...

Another January, and as soon as it hits I am thinking, 'I want to lose 10 pounds by Valentine's Day.' (not that I only need to lose 10, but... it sounds valiant, right?)

The problem? I am a lazy dieter. I can't stand counting, weighing, journalling.
I'd rather not eat at all than have to count it.

Problem #2? Voracious appetite late in the day. I won't even go there, folks, cause it isn't pretty. Let's just put it this way. I love food.

Problem #3? I am in the vicious circle of being too tired to exercise, and yes, I am well aware that I will get energy from exercise-- being aware of the right thing to do doesn't necessarily make it any easier.

Well, today I threw out tons of candy, froze some cookies and got all sorts of other junk out of the kitchen. That is my first step. One small step for me, one large step for my eating plan.

In the meantime, I wonder what is in the fridge? Pathetic, I know.

At least you tossed the candy! My stupid brain says, "You can't throw it away and waste it." So then I "waist" it. Pathetic..

You sound so much like me! I have the same three problems. Seriously, I know you can do it! This is our year, but I think you are gorgeous no matter what!

Don't be so hard on yourself!! It's tough around the holidays, I have had a hard time too. I would love to do the -10 goal by Feb. too. I am probably starting to walk w. Melissa soon, you are welcome to join us. I think Kim might come too. Tues. and Thurs. probably..evenings. To make you feel better, I'll share what my diet was for two days before Christmas. Peppermint white chocolate bark and fudge. That's it, yum. And fattening. No wonder I'm scared to hop on the scale!!
