This blog is my accountability to myself for the choices I make daily. Today I started off on the wrong foot so to say. I got up out of bed. I over slept by about a half hour. Thanks to my dogs not wanting to get up either. Well I did my usuall morning chores within about a 1/2 hours. Got the fires going (as I heat my house by wood and that is it) it was cold in the house. I put the coffee on and fed the dogs. Than poured myself a large cup of coffee with one tsp of splenda in it. Than instead of heating up just one oatmeal blueberry muffin (home made) I heated up 2 with some becel on them. I felt defeated already. Now I put it in my day to chat with my mom everyday. This came as I sat down in the front room with my coffee and muffins. I stayed on the phone with her for about an hour. After hanging up from her I instantly dialed my girlfriend who is going thru a divorce; and chatted with her for about another hour and a half. This brought me to noon. I have yet to get out of the chair so feeling lazy now and not defeated I had to make a decision. As I went to the fridge to see what I could make for lunch I saw some left over salad so I made a good choice and ate it for lunch. I also boiled up 3 sausages and ate them plain with a some dijon mustard to dip. At this point because I recognized my good choice I chose again to do my 20 minute Jillian Micheals workout video. I felt good about it but am sitting again blogging. I plan to get up and do 15 minutes on the elipitcal about 5pm. This should help my activity level. I have been doing well with choices for supper. I am using a cookbook that is diabetic focused and I am now menu planning which is good for eating habits. The food I make for supper looks great, tastes great and is healthy for me.
So my journey back to healthy has started with a single footstep. This is menu planning from a cook book which has healthy recipes.
