scattered brain

I have had many things to write about floating around in my brain these last few days, but no time to actually DO it. And now as I sit here unwinding from class, time on hand I cannot focus.
Go figure.
I know I've been thinking about diet and exercise. Thinking and doing. One of my best friends has started a weight loss journey. I will not call it a diet, because I do NOT believe in diets, and I don't think they work...long term anyway. So in my own little following way I have been trying to really pay attention to what I eat as well. (I am not counting the eclair I ate tonight at school after my test, because it was a reward). I am forcing myself to eat breakfast and trying to not overeat at mealtime, which is very difficult when you love to eat. So far, so good.
On to the exercise. I decided to bring the treadmill in from the sunporch. It was not doing me anygood out there because I have to stay entertained while walking, otherwise I will grow bored and stop. I rearanged my living room and placed it with a good view of the tv. Monday night I walked/jogged 45 min and last night for 30. The key to my success is a good show to watch. Thankfully I have a DVR, so I can save shows I love like Lost or Prison Break, for entertainment. If I want to drop the poundage I have to force myself to walk for at least 45min. You don't actually start burning fat stores until you get past 30 min. Another perk to this is I can't even get started till the kiddos are asleep, so once I get done I am ready for round two. Hitting the books.
Now as I sit here tooting my own horn at the greatness of me, I hope I can stick with this. Because not only am I the queen of procrastination nation, I am the jester of follow through.
