Confession

I have confession to make. My food goodness and clothing goodness is not so goodness. I actually wore a cardigan with brown pants and orange fake ugg boots to work the other day. Seriously. Another day, I wore workout pants and tennis shoes and a t-shirt and a hat out in public. In public.  And the other night I went on a date in jeans, a sweatshirt, and tennis shoes. Not doing so good on the clothing front. It got a little better than that, but for a few days it was baaaaad. I have clean clothes and a new plan and all of it. I think that is the key to my success with clothes. Clean is good. Plan is better.

Why is junk food sooo tasty? I like healthy food. I do. It is just so much easier to just eat whatever and not worry about how many calories and how bad everything is for me. There has to be a way for me to eat and lose weight and not be so angry about having to count everything and having to be denied and all of that. I know that planning is better, going to the grocery store has to be so specific and basically I can have no junk food in my house and I need to never go into a store that has anything tempting for me. Sigh. I know and understand that nothing tastes as good as thin feels. I just need to live that.

I did do some good stuff too. I did yoga with my daughter again, I played tennis with my husband, I looked super cute going to a friends house to watch a movie, I’ve treadmilled and taken a walk and I have a plan for tomorrow. Plus I’m blogging, so one out of three goals ain’t bad.

  • Junk food is designed to be addictive. I'm similar to you: I have to have it out of the house entirely. Replace it with things like nuts and dried fruits. I came across this site a while back and it explains junk food cravings vs. what our body is REALLY telling us we need. It was a big help to me.

    Martha,

    I am very proud of the progress that you are making. I also believe that you are making a difference in our lives sharing your struggles and your successes! I honestly believe that we have to keep a balanced view of where we are in life. Yes, it is importantly to acknowledge our shortcomings but it is equally important to celebrate the victories! So congratulations on your wins! You are an encouragement to me to keep trying especially when I don't "make it" the first time.

    You are and will always be Marvelous!

    Yah, I work from home, so after hubs leaves for work I wonder, do I shower and get dressed or sip more coffee in my pj's...but, you guys are right, we feel so much better when we just do it.

    Keep it up! You are Marvelous and as long as you keep plugging along you will remain Marvelous! Know that you have someone out there doing it too. I just started walking/jogging again myself. Haven't done that since my son was a baby.(That means about 6 and 1/2 years ago!!!!) OY! But I am determined to have the energy to play with my kids. I am tired of feeling tired all the time! Keep it up! I am!

    I love your blog design! I also have a clothing problem- I like to look cute and all, I truly do, but I HATE putting in the effort to do so. I know I feel better about myself when I look nice, but I am too lazy to do it all. I feel ya!
