Facing the Truth

In the gym one of the poster you see when weight lifting is, "To become want you want, you have to face the truth". Well the truth is its just now hitting me that I need to get my weight under control. Now this is not to say that I have not been concerned about it or tried to lose weight because that is a constant thought in my head. But facing the truth is that I am only doing it half way. The big part that I am missing is dieting. Why because I hate it. I am already restricted to a gluten free diet and don't really want to limit it more. Also changing one's taste palate is difficult. I love fried salty carbs. I crave them and consume most of my calories thru them. And the rest most likely come from drinking juice. My new addiction since I gave up soda. So my new goal is not to lose wight but to change my taste palate. To drink more water than juice and gave healthy food. If I can't then hopefully they will still have an opening on the biggest loser next season.

Oh, how I hate winter storms!

Oh, how I hate winter storms! Or maybe its that I hate that I am so dependent on the gym or running outside. Combined with the fact that I just took a four day weekend vacation, it will be a week before I hit the gym. What about working out at home? Well despite the fact that I have a dozen workout videos I find excuse after excuse why I can't. There is no room. True our ceiling is inches above our head. (Joys of basement apartment living) We're still getting settled into our shoebox and there is much to do. True but I didn't do any of it but bake. Homemade bagels. Yummmmm..... THIS WILL NOT WORK!!! The weight will not be willed off, I must stop living on excuses. For my own sanity I must make it a priority now whether the gym is closed or not.

Bye Bye Rockstar

Since moving to N Dak I have put on 13 lbs. Fat? Yes. Happy? Well lets just say that old saying is not completely true. Sure I can say it stress, taking care of an aging parent can have that affect, or depression, but in all honesty I have chosen to let that be the ruler of my health. I can not remember the last day I went with out a soda or rockstar. They are my crutch. I drink my problems away just like so many others, but I drink pure calories and and leave the alcohol out. Rockstars are my happy pill, yet they are the reason I am hauling around another 13 pounds. Not to mention the other ill affects they leave behind. Sorry but these have got to go.
