Where O where has my self control gone? Where O where could it be?
I hate to sound cliché but I hate it when you take 2 steps forward and then 1 step back. I followed Wonder Women’s advice and got rid of the pie, so that was good. However I was so exhausted from work yesterday I didn’t do any jogging. Then I slept in this morning and again no jogging. I did do some work with free weights but I know that I need the cardio to meet my goals.
I just wonder sometimes where my self control goes. When I sit here and read all of the wonderfully blogs and know that there are other woman out there doing there best and eating right it really inspires me to do the same. But then when it comes time to get off the couch… sometimes I just lose it. I give in to that lazy voice inside myself that says “it’s ok
Ill just to it tomorrow” and then tomorrow never comes.
So today I am going to go jogging. No matter what. No more excuses. I decided that what I am going to do is take one of my wedding photos (the ones that I hate because I am so big and never show anyone) and Put one on my desk at work, one on the fridge, and one near my computer at home. That way every where I look I will see the reasons why I need to get out of the house and get to exercising. It makes me sad to see those pictures, but now that I think about it, it makes me madder thinking that I put myself here, no one else. And it’s my laziness that is keeping me here. The only person I have to blame is myself, and the one person who can change it is myself.
So, tonight is a 4 mile walk/jog. Right when I get home. My poor hubby will have to fend for himself for dinner. But I’m tired of letting my laziness control me.
By the way, I just wanted to say that Buddyslim is awesome. It helps so much to read about other normal women having the same issues I have and overcoming them. So far I am very glad I signed up with Buddyslim. Thank you!

You’ll get there! Believe me, i’m on the same lack of self control train you’re on. It’s hard to get yourself in the ‘healthy’ game if you haven’t played for awhile. But keep your chin up, and dust yourself off if you fall off. I’ve got my wedding coming up in June next year, and that in itself should be all the motivation I need. You would think. But, I hear the call of summer eating…potato salad, pies, cakes, icecream, hot dogs, burgers….all those things that really aren’t good for you! So i take it one day at a time. Cut out what you won’t miss and replace what you will with healthier options. I love all things carbs, so I cut out beer and replaced white pasta with whole grain. And i’ve learned that if you ‘reward’ your good habits by eating something ‘bad’ for you, i.e. that chocolate cake you would give an arm for, it makes you feel less deprived. Of course, only eat a small portion of the bad for you food. and then take a long walk after.
Good luck with your running/jogging regimen. I admire your determination!
