DANG! It's been a long time and a few pounds added since the last time I was here.
So it begins, again.
I don't like doing this. Any of it. I don't like watching what I eat. I don't like counting calories. I don't like exercising. I want to eat whatever I want and not have to worry about calories, fat, carbs and what it's going to do to my cholesterol. It's not fun.
I am not one to feel eneregized after exercise. I feel exhausted, sore and like I could lay in bed all day and be perfectly happy.
I get why I'm supposed to do all of these things. I understand what eating bad foods is going to do to me, but why do chips have to taste so good? The salty, crunchy goodness.....mmmmm.
This week I started getting up a half hour earlier just to exercise. I know it's only Wednesday and only started on Monday, but I have to admit I'm proud of myself and I take the soreness that I feel to mean I'm doing something right.
I can only take baby steps. This week the baby step is to exercise every day. I'm so out of shape I can't believe how hard it is do things I used to be able to do so easily. Just trying to do one, half way decent push-up is hard. It doesn't look pretty, that's why I make sure to go into my home office behind a closed door while most everyone is still in bed because God forbid someone actually SEE me doing those pathetic push-ups!
As much as I hate all of those things I should be doing, I hate being overweight even more and that's what I need to remind myself. The painful, ugly exercises I can barely do will get easier.
Baby steps...baby steps...
