Okay it is now August 3rd (which honestly I still can't believe) and it is time for me to get back on the heathy eating/excercise wagon! I have been so bad lately and I can tell. I think I am up about 5 lbs! But even more discourageing is I can tell in the way my clothes fit. I have worked too hard to get and keep this weight off I am not going to put it on again!!!
My biggest problem lately is my eating and even worse my drinking! I have been drinking way too many extra alcoholic calories. I need to get back to no weekday drinking. DH and I have gotten into the bad habit of having a drink (or two) in the evenings while we zone out and watch tv. NO MORE. I need to cut that out along with the snacks i have along with it!
So i am commiting today to no drinking Monday-Thursday (and probably most sunday's but not all) Although i know tomorrow night if i go to my book club party at the gals house with a boat and pool it will be hard to pass up. See this is the problem with summer! Way too many outdoor social activities where i partake in too many empty calories!
Also no more junk, i have been eating too much pizza, taco bell etc lately. I started my day today with a protein shake, and will be having a salad with grilled chicken for lunch with extra veggies.
I also need to get in a 3rd workout day a week at minimum, even if it is just walking. I have been decent at goign to my AOS workouts 2x a week and although they are awesome and I am building muscles and getting stronger, I need more cardio throughout the week to try to get a handle on burning off this extra 5 lbs. I may try to start swimming seeing that we are paying for teh Y membership and since DH is mostly off the wagon as well, no one is using it this summer...and i also never signed iz up for camp like i said i would. So we are spending $65 /month for nothing.......I like swimming and although i have not done it in forever i think it wil be good to balance out my sore knees versus if i try to jog. But i have to get goggles and a swim cap first i think....
I know i can do it, i have done it many times before, i just wish i didnt' have too! I hate getting older, metabolism slowing down (not that mine has ever been all that fast to begin with).
I have got to get this 5lbs off though so better start today!
