The Low down...to date.

So this is hard...it is hard to make yourself exersize daily and eat rite.  The first two weeks were rather fun for me, but it's getting to where I have to make myself exersize(What ever it takes, rite!!)!  Especially when we are so acustom to just doing what ever we want depending on our mood, or atleast that's the way we roll up in here...most of the time.  Any ways I have been able to stick to my getting on the treadmill each weekday and some Saturdays, though Sunday is my designated free day(exersize & food wise). Each day I walk/jog I also do situps and leg lifts.  While walking I lift 2 lb weights with my arms, but I don't while jogging.  I do atleast 1.5 mile walk jog combo or 30 min. each weekday.   Michael has gotten to where he & his sitser Patti walk around our neighborhood about 3-4 days a week, sometimes we all go. I Mostly  like to use the treadmill, it's not as hot in the house(I hate sweat) & I can get my exersize in while the kids are finishing up school work.  I am finding it difficult to give up sweets & we are working on portion control(with everything not just sweets).  It seems like every time I turn around it's someone's birthday and the infamous cupcake, cookie or cake and icecream are lingering(I know it's not good for me though)!  It seems that when one is feeling down or it's that time of the month I need a lil comfort from my delicous friends...Somethings gota give.   I am approaching this slowly, trying to wean myself from things not so healthy because I am afraid if I stop cold turkey it will send me into a downward spiral and I will fail with my healthier life goals.  Maybe it's a copout, maybe I am just week, or maybe making excuses just to get my fix now and then....who knows?  All I know is for me this is a trial and error process and on the 30th the scales will tell the tale...I am willing to make the necessary changes, but truth be told I don't want to have to give up my cakes completely. Sodas are no problem and bread not so bad, but I know my weaknesses may get me on this.  Will know more on the 30th, the scales don't lie.

Lord help us to have the strength to overcome ALL our weaknesses in our daily lives..Amen!
