the title is pretty self explanatory. "Taking Control". I have spent too long allowing my feelings: physical and/or mental to control me. it's time to change all that (past time, really).
as of today, I am taking back my life. I want the control back. I want to feel good and be healthy and I can't do it if I continue on the way I am.
I am embarrassed and upset with myself that I'm where I am. I honestly believed I would not ever be anywhere near close to this size again. yet...here I am basically with the same issues I had before I ever started this journey so long ago.
today and the future is MINE! it's mine to do with what I CHOOSE to do. healthy or not healthy. I choose healthy!
now I know, just my saying it is not going to make it be so. I know I'm going to have struggles along the way. I know I'm not going to be perfect. but I have to make a choice and at least start backing up my words with action on a consistent basis.
today I choose to make the changes in the behaviors that I need in order to be the "me" that I want to be.

November 2, DAY 2
Posted 11-02-2009 at 10:55 AM by stews
I am THRILLED that I made it through day 1 with no problem. not a taste of candy or anything else not on plan.
I got 30 min. of treadmill plus 2 min. of up and down stairs. I had to go MUCH slower than I've had to go in the past on the treadmill but hopefully will work back up to a reasonable pace quickly.
today: I WILL stay on plan with my nutrtion. not sure what I'm going to do for dinner yet, but I will make sure it's a good choice.
may not have time for exercise today, but if not I'll get it in tomorrow.
I think I'll list a few goals for myself for today:

I think I'll list a few goals for myself for today:
- eat according to my nutrtional plan
- get my kitchen cleaned up and shine my sink.
- read a chaptor or 2 out of one of the books I have to learn about verbal abuse (no, I'm not abused. I'm learning more about the topic to possibly get more involved at the women's shelter).
