fitbit

Woo! I just got my fitbit. I was really excited and then revolted with my results on day one using it. I was shocked to see my calories in versus out. No wonder I have been having such trouble getting the weight off. This is by far my favourite fitness toy with app!

:(

So I was completely pumped to go to the gym. I got home, raced into my room and my dog peed all over my gym bag, shoes, everything. He is an old man and was sleeping on this stuff and piddled. I gave him a bath, washed everything, and then we ate pizza. Poor old guy. 😦

Budgeting

Ugh. I hate figuring out budgeting. FML. I do however feel that it is the same as menu planning right now. I don’t want to sit around and figure out anything at the moment. I need to sit down and get this done!

Weekend Motivation

I feel that my motivation depletes by the time the weekend comes around. What with having a long week at work and being exhausted by the weekend I feel like I deserve to eat everything in sight. But then all my hard work for the week is out the window and I fall further down the emotional eating roller coaster. I am not really feeling it this weekend, but health is not an option. Here I go.

So Sleepy

I am so tired. It was so mother flipping hot here last night I could not sleep. And it is looking for a repeat performance tonight apparently. FML. I am melting. I ate too many carbs today because of it. And I think I may have been using it as an excuse. Journal, journal, journal. Oh how the mighty have fallen, at least every few days or so.

Weekend Warrior. . .

HA! I did not power through the weekend as healthy or graceful as I intended. I was a complete disaster. I had a moment of complete dispair when I weighed myself and saw my weight, and went through the “What does it matter anyways?” feelings. I ate through those like nobody’s business then I had regrets about my choice and did NOT eat through those feelings. That is progress. I recorded everything, and it is a little bit horrifying how much I can pack away when I am being an emotional eater. It was an enlightening weekend and I am coming up with a game plan for future episodes of weight despair. Does anyone have something that they do to combat it?

Stumble at the Start

Day two of my blogging adventure and I already feel defeated, and day one was just me creating a blog.
I was to keep track of my food intake today and possibly hit the gym. I had the day off, so I thought that I had time for everything. Alas, one course that I need for work was not working properly online and took a larger chunk out of my time than expected. Between that and running around the house cleaning and cooking I do not recall exactly what and how much food I have ingested. I feel disappointed with this. I was prepared for today and I let it slip right out of my finger tips. I cannot believe the entire day got away from me. I plan to do better and be better starting from the end of this sentence. Step One: Keep an accurate journal – including food, water, and gym time. I know that I am not perfect and will slip up, but I feel that I have only proven my humanity and personality by slipping right out of the gate.

I can do this. I know it.

Day One

I am having a crazy time trying to find time to work out. I have a gym pass for a 24 hour gym, but I am currently working 12+ hours a day with my new business. I am using this blog as a way to remind myself of my health goals and to slow down for time to time. I am trying to set up a time that works for the gym, but my long hours drain me completely. I know that the gym would re-energize me, but sometimes I think would rather take a nap. ZZZZZzzzzZzZz. I love nap time.

I keep a food journal with me, and I am trying to keep to the Canadian Food Guide. I will post any recipes I find inspiring and tasty, because lets face it, was too often inspiring meals taste like cardboard.
