Word of advice to myself... even when you do all the chores you need to... do NOT reward yoirself with too many drinks.  You will still enjoy yourself having 5 rather than 10 or more :(

Reinvention

Started to slip after being home for Christmas.  Really not happy with myself since moving to Canada.  It isn't a time issue, it is a desire issue.  I would rather sit on the couch with Kyle than get my ass to the gym.  My solution, morning workouts.  It only sucks for like 5 minutes... once I can work up the effort to get my shoes on, I am like... well, I made it this far, no turning back now.  PLUS then when I get home, I make dinner and lounge on the couch guilt free.  I already kicked my butt that day... I can relax and enjoy my time.  My eating habits have made a complete 180.  By focusing on what I am buying at the grocery store, and making healthier choices, I feel better, look better and do have more energy.  I eat probably 8 times a day, but this means- small breakfast (a banana, bagel, something small), piece of fruit 2 hours later, lunch (soup, chicken salad) something clean and with protein, then 2 hours later another healthy snack.  Dinner, then another snack!  I never thought that would work for me, but by making the right choices, I really notice a difference... and I feel good.  Amanda knows that when I do eat something bad, I notice immediately!  And I am back to that point.  Why put crap in my body if it makes me feel like CRAP!

The other thing I did was stop smoking and limit drinks to 3-5 per week.  It is only week 1, so we will see how that goes!!!
