Some thoughts about my current goals:

1. There are a lot of obstacles and barriers in my way that I never realized. Especially since its the holiday season, there is too much extra eating going on. Last night I went to a party and I ate soo much! I skipped dinner on accident; do those things cancel out? I ate like a million cookies, but I never ate dinner. Hmm. And to make matters worse (and better), my sister brought over a huge loaf of gingerbread.

2. Yesterday, I went to the gym in the afternoon. I usually never go to the gym after noon because it’s too crowded (and I really would rather not run into anyone I know) and I get tired later in the day. 
I went yesterday and I’m glad I did! I ran at a faster pace than I normally do. Starting tomorrow I am upping my workout regime! Starting with running for 30 minutes then a barbell class. Hopefully everything works out. Strength + cardio daily (good idea?)

3. I work at Tutti Frutti, a place for self-serve frozen yogurt. When I work, I usually eat candy and other sugary toppings, but that ends TODAY. I’m going to tell the person I’m working with to hold me accountable. Eating candy at work has contributed to my weight gain. I’m ready to change my eating habits -ie adding more healthy foods, taking out foods high in fat and refined carbs. 
To go along with not eating food thats “not part of a meal”, I am starting today making healthier food choices FOR my meals.
