It's all Gray

The stories and struggles of a girl with a book in one hand and junk food in the other...

I can do eating healthy, but that alone isn't enough.  I gave up pop, started drinking water instead, occasionally I will have a diet cola, but honestly that is so much better than when i used to drink almost a twelve pack a day. Long ago I had given up sugar cereals and traded them in for raisin bran and oatmeal.  I traded potato chips for carrots and bananas. My weakness however is dairy.  My friend abbey gave up dairy long ago and she looks beautiful .I confess now that i will never be able to give up dairy, in my mind a few ounces of cheese is better than a little debbie, that is my story and I'm sticking to it.

So the eating healthy I have, I can do fruit and veggies and avoid fatty foods, but unless I am moving my but to exercise eating healthy won't help.
Why is it so hard to get on my treadmill?
Sometimes I think I should move it into the living room instead of having it in the spare room, maybe if I couldn't avoid looking at it everyday the guilt would build up inside me and I would actually use the thing more than once a week...

My Friend is the one who inspired me to do this, and she said starting Monday she is going  to do weigh ins....I am not strong enough to do that, I mean the people in my life know that I am fat, but i don't think they need to know the exact numbers.

So instead I say this, starting Monday i am going to start using my treadmill AT LEAST one hour three days a week.  and on the non treadmill days...it is warm enough that I can walk or bike along the trail they have here in town. Also I am thinking about buying one of those dance games for the wii, when I was younger I used to dance like a fool, maybe I need to start doing that again :)

I'm really not that strong but thanks. I am in the same boat when it comes to avoiding my treadmill. I have talked wiht a cousin of mine who is a health nut and i love her for it. She told me its not so much giving up things you like its all about moderation. So you don't need to give up dairy. i think we both know neither of us could do it...lol but its all about moderation. And as far as weigh ins go even if you only want to post how much u have lost it might help encourage you a little more. I love you and the support I get from you. I am here for your journey just like you are here for mine. Miss you

So Chris was on the couch munching some Doritos. I sat down next to him and also started munching... then I thought of this blog entry you'd made. It helped me decide to get up and grab some carrots to munch instead. Thanks Rach :)

What's the story?

Besides my amazing husband ,my family ,my two dogs, and music (what can I say, I'm a big girl with a big heart so there's a lot I love) my two greatest loves in life are books and food. The food part however has been a life long struggle. So this blog will be used to track my journey through my bookshelf, and to my treadmill, and I need all of the support that I can get!
