Hello 2020!

 Hey there...8 years later!

A LOT has changed since 2012...no recap right now, but rather, I want to move forward!  I'm 40...been quarantining with my kids for 255 days, loving life on my cul de sac AND hoping/dreaming/basically anything but doing what I need to do to get healthy.

I want to FEEL better!  I was to LOOK better.  I want to shop, oh how I want to shop.  There are SO many cute clothes out there waiting for me to wear them...and I. want. to!

Would love to journal my way to 165...we'll see how that goes.  For now, my first habit that I want to start is 6am workouts!  LET'S GO!

Jan 21

As of last post, I am 1 day away from completing P90X! I basically rock:) I've lost 20 pounds, all of my clothes fit, I am super fit and basically addicted! I even became a Beachbody coach. I love the company! The kids albums are not done, but I do have a plan! 2 mornings a week at the gym I look like a Mac ad and have my Mac Book and ipad out simutaneously working on Shutterfly albums! They will be done by March 1! The 2008 ones at least. Goal is to start 2012 books and have fun working on them. 2011 books done by June 1.

I realize I hate the feeling of having to 'catch up'. I would like to get the daily to dos done so I have time for 'free time' activities and actually getting ahead. What a great feeling huh?

I think a no TV rule would help that. Instead of going cold turkey and then binging on a Jersey Shore 10 episode crash. I'm thinking no TV every other day...starting today! So yesterday we watched shows...tonight=no shows. Easy peasy right?

#3 Get organized financially...yup yup. I'm going to send you my monthly "where my money at?" sheet. It is worth it to see where your money really goes.

Love

I'm on it!

On top of the world. Things are going great. Just started Week 3 of P90X...down to 177.5, lightest I've been since the twins were born. The house is clean. The car is clean. The fridge is stocked. The bank accounts are managed...lower that one would hope, but everything is accounted for. Christmas cards are ordered.

I'm feeling very organized...which I like because that give's me time to do the things I want to do.

Goal 165...I know I can do it with P90X:)

Doing it!

House is clean. No junk snacking. No eating after dinner! I have had 2 cookies each day the last 2 days. The first day I ate them after dinner with Eric. I didn't really want them but the kids were super whiny, not eating dinner, driving me crazy and I had to eat something sweet. I was happy that I ate them with Eric, as opposed to alone. It is nice to share a treat with someone you love!

Today I had 2 cookies during nap...or lack of nap. Another habit type snack. I was tired, trying to avoid chores, decided to plop onto the couch with a sweet snack. After 1, I even looked at it and thought "This is not that good. I should not eat the other one." Then I found myself eating it while playing on the internet. Lame!

The good news is I am feeling good and I am looking forward to eating healthier and dropping pounds!

Just do it! Possibly the best quote ever. Seriously, I always 'know' what I need to do, so why don't I just do it!

I have had conversations with several fabulous women lately...all revolving around food. Why is it that SO much is tied into food. We HAVE to have food to survive, so why is this one relationship so tricky to navigate?

DO

-eat when you are hungry

-fill up on fruits, veggies first

-focus on portion control

DON'T

-freak out!

-snack during meal prep (duh!)

-eat after dinner...you do not need it. It is 100% emotionally/habitually triggered.

Peace

Eat this
