Slinking back in with an update (finally)
Wednesday morning. So, can you guess how things with Operation Baby Steps have been going since my last post? Uh huh, you've got it! I've been eating whatever I want and haven't exercised at all. (You know, I think the last time I exercised was back in June - how scary is that??? I used to be totally dedicated to my 60-minutes-at-a-time exercise routine!)
For the eating, I'm putting it down to the fact that my healthy, prepared meals just don't look as good as something from the cafeteria (how scary is that?) for lunch or something fast food for dinner. I don't know what to do about this problem because the meals are what they are. Actually, I just went and checked out their Healthy Kids' Meals because I was thinking they'd probably be more appealing (because kids won't eat what they don't like or what looks "funny"). Turns out they do have a lot more "fun" meals on the kids' menu, so I've ordered lunches and dinners from that menu. (I never have a problem with the grown-up breakfasts - they're yummy!) We shall see how this goes.
For the activity, I'm thinking that I need to try doing it first thing in the morning. I don't know, though, this needs more thought.
So, that's where I am right now. *Sigh*

But I have to say you are my new favorite person of the week for posting this link! I had no idea this place existed, so thanks!
I would love to work out in the morning but it is just so....eh, yuck. Plus I get a better work out later at night when I have more energy...but they (whoever THEY are) say it is better to work out in the morning. Shoot, whenever someone will actually do it seems better to this hag ;).
I do so admire your honesty, though, Denise. And the fact that you keep on trying.
That was a great EXCUSE about your normal every day food not looking as appealing as cafeteria food. Yep, excuse - you heard me babe :)
I really wish I was nearer to you, cause I would thwap ya over the head, nah - just kidding :)
There ARE healthy choices at a cafeteria - at least here in Canada the cafeterias also supply fruit, jello, salads, sammiches.
Denise, I know you will do it when you are ready :)
Me, I just joined Weight Watchers. Sigh... keep on fighting the good fight, right?
