How many times have you heard, "This is the first day of the rest of your life!"? Well today is the first day of the rest of mine. I woke up this morning and blogged about my resolutions. Then I thought to myself, I'm hungry what should I have for breakfast? There is carrot cake in my fridge beside oranges. Right there with the refrigerator door open I debated with myself whether to have cake or a well balanced breakfast.
I know some people would not even look at cake as a breakfast food but not me. I was raised on Little Debbies for breakfast. Now what kink of example am I setting for my children if I do the same thing I tell them not to. You already know I am aware of how my habits effect my children. I have fell off the wagon since October and I see a change in my kids too. So, from this day forward I am sticking to with a healthier lifestyle. It may not be 100% healthy, but I am going to make sure that we are eating three well balanced meals and healthy snacks before junk food is allowed.
I enjoyed the holidays this year, but I am so glad that they are over and I have a new year to start over on my dieting journey. As I was standing with the fridge door open deciding cake or fruit I thought oh I'll start tomorrow and enjoy New Year's Day by eating whatever I want. Then I said NO today is the start of a new year. It's a time for renewal and I am going to start it off healthy! So from now on I need encouragement from anywhere I can get it, because this is not going to be easy for me. I will have a whole lot less of me to love by the end of 2012 though.
I know I haven't blogged in a long time, but it is really because I "fell of the wagon" and I just stopped paying attention to my health for a few months. It is my resolution to now blog every week, because I have found this is the main thing that's keeping me accountable for my actions. I also will be making some videos and posting pictures of my weight loss so you can see for yourself that I am looking healthier!
