Christmas Fatty
Who does not want to be a christmas fatty? ME!
As I posted yesterday, the holidays are a nightmare in terms of food.
So, New Year's resolutions are a month early for me. Program started, new gym joined, down 4.5lbs in less then a week.
Motivation will start it, Habit will keep it.

Trying to do it all just means you do nothing...
How many times do you find yourself constantly at the starting line?
I am always:
- "Starting over"
- "Trying to get back on the band wagon"
- "Let's get motivated"
It is getting old. Having the same conversations with the same people about the same issue.
~ Getting Fit ~ Eating Right ~ Being Healthy ~
Why is it so difficult to just do the right thing? Well, I can tell you why it is difficult for me:
~ I TRY TO DO TOO MUCH TOO FAST! ~
"I am going to work out every second of the day" - Let's get real people! You are not. You have other commitments. You are already setting yourself up for failure.
"I am going to eat the best food in the world at all times" - Umm, really? I don't know about you, but I get so lost in all the information out there that it too overwhelming!
You have to start at one point and continuously go forward.
No matter what,
DO NOT GO BACKWARDS!
No matter what!
Even if you remain in the same spot for quite a long time, it is better then reversing any good you have done.
My new plan (wink wink) and hopefully last plan is the following:
I will commit working out 3x a week. That should be fairly reasonable to fit in my hectic life with my two children and husband.
When you eat grains, eat only 100% whole grains.
Don’t eat high fructose corn syrup.
Don’t eat hydrogenated oils, trans fats, or anything that’s been deep-fried.
Just three simple rules, rather eight zillion things!
This will tell you what to buy organic and what does not need to be organic. You can download the PDF and print it and you can, also, download it on your smartphone - Android or Iphone for free
If we just worry about a couple of things, then we can progress forward. Slowly, things can be added to the list. Then all of the sudden, things are being accomplished that we never thought would be possible!
This commerical is what my kids like to say is me:

Interfacing with Life
Life happens.
Regardless what you are doing, it happens. It will not stop. The time will pass no matter what.
So, when you are trying to be healthy, lose weight, get fit, or whatever your goal is, life will continue to happen and the time will pass regardless of what you are trying to accomplish. When you sit on your butt and do nothing, in one month, one year, or five years, you will be talking about the same thing - having accomplished nothing.
I joined WW a little over two months ago. That would be about 10 weeks ago. In that time, I have had the following activities:
Two holiday weekends
One vacation out of state (one week)
four days at brownie camp
Three parties
One high school reunion
and
One wedding
Basically, this an activity every weekend that involves celebrating and food.
In this time, I have lost about seven pounds. It started off strong, and then not so much - picture a crashing plan. During this past two months, I justify to myself the slow progress because basically, it is easier to give in at all these events. Really, I am a slack-ass. And I like eating good food with good people. :)
As my husband pointed out, so kindly, for me over the weekend, I am a lot of talk and not a lot of action. While it sounds harsh, it is very true. I, always, have plans of grandeur. But really, I don't like to do the work. I just like the idea of big, spectacular things happening.
So, as I said, life exists regardless if you are trying to accomplish something. Life doesn't care. It will continue. For me, I would like to accomplish something. I want to improve my well being and be proud of myself. Life is just going to have adjust and accept the change.
I want to have my kids know they can do anything they want, if they put in the work. I want to inspire people to accomplish great things - because if I can do it - anyone can do it. :)
So, this blog is to keep me inspired and hopefully motivate others to do something they just keep talking about. For me, it is getting in shape - so if you need help in that area or want some tips on eating right - come back and visit. I will, always, be looking to post things I find that help me and maybe they can help you too.
If you just need good ol' motivation, I will have that too!
