Today I am feeling empowered. I have stuck to a lmost a whole week of exercises on my own and I feel very good today. I started out with a small workout (short on time), but I did not give up and not exercise. A mini workout is better than none. So this afternoon I plan to walk 2 miles on the track. The weather is finally cooling down enough to walk again :)
I had a half bagel with 1 tbls peanut butter and coffe with creamer and splenda and a 4oz cup of applesauce. I will sip on unsweetened vanilla tea and water until lunch- perhaps a banana for a snack in btwn, but I am ready. Salad with small homemade spaghetti for lunch and something comparable for dinner. My vow to myself is to include 15-30 minutes of exercise in daily and reduce sodium from my diet. I know if I workout even in small amounts, I will reach my goal. I plan to increase my workouts gradually; buns of steel, wii, cardio glide, walking, I have my tools and I'm ready to use them!
I estimate it will take me 6-8 months to reach my goal, but compared to the rest of my life and my health, that is very reasonable and worth it to me. Those months will come and go anyway, so I may as well make them work toward the better for myself. The weather is cool and I want to be hot next summer!!!! 42 year old hottie. I can do this!
