So, I am feeling pretty much like a failure. The exercise thing is going well, but the eating and speaking like the person I want to be is a total bust. If I could just learn to keep my mouth shut I probably wouldn't feel so bad afterwards. I wouldn't feel like I failed at taking care of my body and wouldn't feel I had failed at being a good friend or family member.
Change is hard. Not because I don't like change I just keep finding something that distracts me.
Back to the beginning.

Day 2
Okay, day 2 is going well. Went for a 26 mile bike ride with my sister. I'm really surprised I feel so good.
Eating okay. Yesterday the eating was a little off. Had french fries and a bun with my sloppy joe.
And yes, I really did throw out the Landsend catalog. (only after I pulled it back out and looked at it on line).
Man this is hard being what you want to be. So out of control.

Pre-1st day
I am embarking on a new journey. I am 52 years old and tired of who I am. Always feeling like my life is out of control I am finally going to take control of the woman I want to be. I am hoping that my starting this blog I will be accountable and achieve my goals. Which are.
1. Break my addictions to food and shopping.
2. Think and feel and speak as the woman I believe I was created to become.
I plan to achieve these goals by
1. Control spending - buying needs/not wants
2. Regaining control of my body.
1. no sugar or white grains(allowed once a day english muffiin with coconut oil and nuttella)
2. cardio 5-6 times a week (biking, walking, running)
3. Strength training 2-3 time a week. (dvd, free weights, machines)
I will log my daily activities and track my eating for 12 weeks.
I don't plan on following a specific plan. They are out there but I want to prove that you can do it if you just do it.
So.... here goes. Tomorrow will be the 1st day. Off we go...follow the yellow brick road and see where it goes.
Wish me luck and .....Enjoy the journey.
