Tomorrow is a New Day!

Some days you just know...this is not going to be a good one. Today, was not a good one for me in the health category. I had a marathon days of meetings, which started at 6:30am. I did not intend on being bad, but with all the constant running I didn't make time for myself. As they say if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. It is so true.

I didn't track my calories, but it could not be good. I ended the day with a juicy burger from the new hot burger joint in Atlanta http://www.flipburgerboutique.com/. To make myself feel better about eating it, I didn't eat the top bun and only hate half my onion rings, but still that was no consolation, especially since this morning I had a chicken biscuit minus the top bun. I guess I thought I would rationalize the calories away.

Thanks for grace,
Joy

OOC!

Out of control...that is me. Why am I so ruled by my emotions? UGH! So today I had a hard conversation with Rose which led me to want to eat, a lot. I thought I was doing good when I went to Chick-fil-A and got a sweet tea instead of candy...WRONG! Do you know that thing has 220 calories? Geez!

Lord, please help me to not be ruled by emotions and not food.

This is Hard...

So, there is a reason that I have managed to let nearly all of the weight that I've lost creep back on. It's HARD to keep it off. I've had to face the fact that I love to eat. I eat when I'm happy, sad...etc. As with any bad habit if there is no accountability the odds of failure greatly increase. Enter this blog....

Joy and I are working together to try and get and keep some unwanted weight off. We invite you to be a part of our journey. Each Sunday we will be having a E2L meeting where we will review the week and make goals for the next week. Join us on the journey and give us tips!! Goodness knows we need them.

And We're Off...

This is it. For Real. It is On.

Beth and I had our first E2L (Eat to Live) Meeting today. For now we are working on establishing discipline surrounding our healthy living lifestyle.

My goals for this week are:
- Eat 1200-1500 calories every day and track on sparkpeople.com
- Workout at least 4 times this week
- Drink a gallon, yes, one whole gallon of water a day

The challenges that I am facing this week are working out and mindless eat. Lately, it is so challenging for me to get my body in motion. I also am pretty stressed with work which typically leads to mindless eating.

Lord, help me. And Beth, help me too.
