Getting back on track!

So the reason I love this so much is  I just looked back at the day I started this blog. I started this blog on sept. 10 2008. Ella was one and I was frustrated. Its funny how little credit we give to our silly little habits. How we reward ourselves when we are good or when we have a bad day. How many magazines and articles I have read promising to change me forever, whatever the fitness roadblock may be. How many times I have gained and last the same 15 pounds is rediculous!! I always find myself back to the same place. A little stronger, a little smarter, but alot more frustrated. So I wonder if there is really a fix or if you just learn to enjoy the ride. The seasons change, life stress changes and celebrating is always around us.  SO how do we learn to keep ourselves the same. So my biggest struggles are food, Lots of sugar, lots of diet coke and probably not enough fiber and veggies. So I have the most success when I just stop it completly, it seems like a little gets me started and SUGAR takes over Cravings take over. SO many things, have treat excercize more, excercize less equals less carbs. I once had a dr look at me like I was an idiot, He simply stated more calories burned, less calories consumed, its that simple. IS it?? I dont know, I am not saying I have a huge problem. I am in pretty good shape. But its just that little goal I have, it nags at me a little. I got real sick this year, when I was at a good point and it set me back about 8 pounds. So I would like to lose that plus those final 5! I know I can do it. Today I start my plan of ACTION! So my tip for today as I get back on track is: You have to have a plan, no matter what. You can never say I am going to be good starting tommorow. What are you going to eat, what are you going to avoid. What are your goals for yourself. Being prepared is not only for the boyscouts. We could all use alot more of it!! Wish me luck in my journey to fix my lifestyle and conquer the final 13! I will check in tommorow with my goals and plan of action. Good luck to you if this is something you are working on, You Can do it. Go have a fabulous Day Now.
