about being overweight . . .
I couldn't locate my journal for a couple of days. I toyed with the idea of starting a new one (that's my perfectionism coming out) but I found the journal I was looking for and will start journaling my food intake in there where I last left off. I'll use the Weight Watchers point system as my mind seems to memorize food with points rather than calories.
Everyone has a little devil . . . for me, its chocolate. I can be doing fantastic with healthy eating and all I have to do is see or smell chocolate and it becomes my undoing. I can't stop at just a little. I have to go full boar. So, I made a little goal for myself: With the exception of having a Sugar Free, Fat Free Hot Chocolate at work everyday (for 1 point), I am not going to have chocolate for a whole month. There. I said it. Just for a month. I know chocolate in moderation is healthy, however I can't moderate my intake at this time. Perhaps later in life, I can have one chocolate kiss, or one little square of chocolate per day and have that be enough. But for now, its useless.
My husband and I are going grocery shopping today. He's pretty crabby right now so this should be very interesting!
I have had quite a bit of time off lately. My grandmother died the week before Christmas, so there was a trip to California for a funeral and a week off of work, including Christmas, and then a few days off for New Year's. With that time off I was trying to finish up some junk food around the house. Then I realized how dumb that was, so I cleaned out my pantry. Tonight, I'm going to pull out my journal and get started with journaling my food intake tomorrow. I didn't start today because I wanted to use up my Moxie Java gift card this morning. LOL! (Another dumb move, I say.) I bought a small Milky Way (mocha and caramel) on my way in to work this morning. Mmmmm. That will be the last one I buy. You know, I can't even find Moxie Java nutritional information on their website. How bad is that? Anyway, I have a salad for lunch today and I have done a few kegel exercices (no laughing please). This morning I tried to do some ab crunches on my exercise ball . . . and I discovered that I don't have any ab muscles. I'm going to have to start at the bottom (the floor) and work my way up. Where did my abs go I wonder?
