Day One
So this morning, I had no idea I was going to change my lifestyle this much, which is good because I tend to do better at spontaneous things anyways. I had a bowl of Honey bunches of oats and some almond milk (by the way, almond milk really is so delicious and sooo much better for you). Then I sat down at the computer and remembered how tired I had felt last night after eating like a pig (yet again!) and decided to look up Weight Watchers Online. Decided to sign up for 3 months because I'm sick and tired of being so exhausted all the time. I swear, my grandma has more energy than I do! Posted on FB that I was doing this and a bunch of my friends were encouraging and one stated that I should turn this into a challenge for anyone that wanted to be part of it. Thus was born "The Getting Healthy Challenge". Bunch of my friends have already shown an interest in this so I'm excited. I know that if I try to do this on my own, I will crash and burn faster than a fat kid who downed 3 redbulls in a 5 minute span.

I've decided that I'm gonna try to do several "mini-meals" throughout the day. I had some tuna for lunch and I found that if I eat slower and drink water with my meals, I realize how much faster I get full. Over-stuffing myself is one of my HUGE problems. If something tastes good, I need to eat alllll of it. Screw you, you aren't getting any. You could possibly think that I was raised by wolves, except that might piss my mom off to make that assessment. I need to start paying attention to when my body tells me I am satisfied. Bet if I do, I could lose an ass-ton of weight in no time flat.

Decided I was going to be more active too. I've become SOOOO LAZY! I use to have to walk everywhere because I didn't have a vehicle. Now that I have, God forbid I walk somewhere, even if it's only a couple blocks away. That's done. Walked the boyfriend to school today just to make myself get out of the house and do something. It's surprising how good I feel from just one morning of good choices. I need to remember this and cherish it and pull it out of subconscious when I'm in the middle of an epic mental battle whether or not I "need" another slice of pizza or when I just don't "feel" like going for a walk or being active.

Here's to be 100% honest on here. So far, today has been a success.

  1. Getting into the habit of walking place rather than driving is a great one, or taking a daily walk even if its only 10 minutes is wonderful. Once you have the habit down your day won't feel right without it!
