And Sue Sylvester: "Let's get physical!"
Okay, so not physical that way. Unless you're thinking the eat healthy, exercise, and lose weight physical. Then that's exactly what I mean.
At the start of this year, I was zealous in my efforts to lose weight. My first shopping trip of the new year was filled with ingredients for a ton of healthy meals. I'm talking about sweet potatoes, oranges, apples, whole wheat bread, and beans. I found several sites to give me the motivation and help I needed. I determined that I would exercise (a little) more and eat about 1200 calories a day to help me out.
Well, that went okay for about a week. Minus that night I splurged on onion rings (frozen ones are gross, by the way). And I even went running. Once. And I may have walked most of that. And sat on a playground swing for awhile. But I logged my food faithfully for that week.
And then I lost steam last week. I still made my meals since I had all the ingredients. But I made those onion rings again (which were still gross). And had about 10 glasses of chocolate milk. BUT I only ate one piece of candy!
So, in order to motivate myself, I have told myself this:
If I exercise every day this week, I can watch season 5 of Lost.
Yep. I will allow myself to subscribe to darn Hulu Plus so that I can find out what happens to the Oceanic 6.
Much better than rewarding myself with some fattening fast food. Monday already has a check mark. We'll see how long I last.
